Chesapeake, Virginia · Hampton Roads Executive Airport (KPVG)
Chesapeake Engineering Systems LLC builds custom software, cybersecurity and AI solutions, designs and fabricates parts, and operates hangar and aircraft maintenance services as Hampton Roads Aviation Services.
What we do
Custom enterprise and web applications, built and operated in-house, with secure architecture and AI capabilities from the first commit.
Mechanical design from concept through prototype and low-volume production of parts, fixtures and tooling.
Operating as Hampton Roads Aviation Services at KPVG: insulated hangar space, line maintenance and aircraft management.
01 · Software, cybersecurity and AI
Our software team has designed and shipped MRO, aviation operations and business operations systems for our own operation before offering them to customers. Requirements come from the hangar floor, and the systems are in daily use.
NAICS 541511Full-stack web and enterprise applications: Oracle and SQL back ends, modern JavaScript front ends, REST APIs, role-based access and integration with ERP, logistics and Microsoft 365.
Maintenance management with work orders, three-tier technician authorization, parts and tool traceability, inspection records and airworthiness audit trails.
CRM, procurement and purchase orders, document workflow, lease and asset management, and reporting dashboards for small and mid-size operators.
NAICS 541519Secure-by-design architecture, NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC Level 2 control implementation, identity and access management, hardening, vulnerability remediation, SSP and POA&M documentation.
LLM-assisted technical publication authoring, retrieval over manuals and regulations, maintenance analytics (reliability, MTBF, parts consumption) and secure connector integration.
Converting paper maintenance records, AD/SB status and life-limited parts data into searchable, auditable systems for fleet transfers and records reconstruction.
02 · Engineering design and fabrication
The same team that writes the software has an engineering background in mechanical design and fabrication, so we can solve the bracket, fixture or unsupported-part problem alongside the data problem.
NAICS 541330CAD modeling, production drawings, tolerance analysis and reverse engineering of obsolete or unsupported parts.
Brackets, mounts, avionics trays, fixtures and tooling; machining and additive methods; non-flight-critical structural and interior parts.
Avionics and equipment installation kits, wiring and mounting design, and modification documentation.
03 · Hampton Roads Aviation Services
Operating as Hampton Roads Aviation Services, CES offers climate-protected hangar space for jets and general aviation aircraft, line maintenance by FAA-certificated A&P technicians, annual and progressive inspections signed by an IA, and aircraft management for owner-operators and flight departments.

Why CES
Our Principal has an extensive software development background and hands-on engineering experience, and leads delivery personally. There are no layers between the customer and the engineer doing the work.
Our MRO, aviation and business operations software runs our own company. We demonstrate working systems, not slideware.
Secure architecture and NIST 800-171 controls are built in from the start; AI features ship on that foundation.
Minutes from Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and the region's naval and military aviation installations.
