Every component change evaluated at the system level. Military gas turbine propulsion engineering from OEM design through program office — technical oversight, sustainment analysis, operability assessment, and AI-enabled knowledge retrieval through SWIFT. CAGE 7X4W2 · SAM Active · SOSSEC OTA Member.
Technical depth from OEM design through operational sustainment — across the full life cycle of military gas turbine systems.
Independent evaluation for government organizations acting as informed technical customers. Propulsion design review, operability analysis, system-level integration assessment, and contractor technical oversight.
Transient response, compressor surge margin, stall/surge event analysis, multi-spool matching, bleed scheduling, fuel control interaction, and performance across demanding military duty cycles.
Component degradation including blade erosion, tip clearance growth, seal wear, and coating loss. Operational impacts from aging hardware, sustainment planning, risk assessment, and readiness impacts.
PCA/SVD-based propulsion analysis, Robust PCA fault isolation, condition-based maintenance frameworks, gas path analysis, and AI-enabled knowledge retrieval through SWIFT. Extends doctoral research at MSU.
Austere environment operations including sand, dust, and FOD ingestion. Erosion and thermal loading assessment, inlet anti-icing analysis, secondary airflow systems, and environmental protection evaluation.
Knowledge transfer from 40+ years of OEM and government experience. Junior engineer development, technical review guidance, proposal support, and propulsion systems training for defense organizations.
Generic AI hallucinates. SWIFT retrieves — from a curated corpus of vetted engineering documents — and every answer names the source, paper number, and author. Built by a propulsion engineer to solve the problem every propulsion engineer has.
RRF fusion of vector similarity and BM25 keyword search catches both semantic matches and exact engineering terminology.
Librarian service classifies queries and routes to the optimal corpus. Use @prefixes for explicit collection targeting.
Corpus-grounded answers are cited. Any general knowledge supplement is explicitly flagged. No silent hallucination.
Robust PCA dimensionality reduction — an extension of Kevin Kauth's doctoral research — delivers 4.5× retrieval speedup.
Curated, structured, and indexed for precision retrieval. Not scraped from the web — every source verified and traceable.
GT2019 Phoenix, GT2024 London, GT2025 — compressors, turbines, combustion, heat transfer, controls, and manufacturing across three conference years.

The company was founded by Kevin Kauth, Chief Engineer, with over 40 years of hands-on experience spanning OEM design through program office support across the AGT-1500, T700, and T55 programs.
Kevin's career spans Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, Boeing, GE, and Georgia Tech Research Institute, and includes current technical support to the Abrams Program Office through KBR — providing propulsion expertise directly at the program office level on the AGT-1500 powertrain. That depth of OEM, sustainment, and government-facing experience across a single program is rare in the industry.
The company holds an active DoD Secret clearance (principal), active SAM.gov registration, and participates in the SOSSEC OTA consortium — enabling rapid engagement on Other Transaction Authority agreements without the overhead of traditional FAR-based contracting.
Alongside engineering advisory work, Accurate Engineering developed SWIFT — an AI knowledge retrieval system built to solve the document discovery problem that every propulsion engineer faces daily. SWIFT's RPCA acceleration extends Kevin's doctoral research at Michigan State University applying SVD/PCA adaptive control to gas turbine diagnostics.
Accurate Engineering LLC is actively seeking teaming arrangements with prime contractors, defense integrators, and engineering services firms pursuing work in military propulsion, ground vehicle systems, aviation sustainment, and AI-enabled engineering analytics.
As a small business with an active SAM registration, SOSSEC OTA consortium membership, and DoD Secret clearance, Accurate Engineering brings the kind of deep technical specialization that primes need when the SOW includes AGT-1500, T700, T55, or legacy military turbine content — and the agility to move fast on new contract vehicles.
We bring value as a technical subcontractor on propulsion-heavy efforts, an independent assessor for programs requiring arms-length technical review, or an AI analytics partner on efforts where SWIFT's knowledge retrieval capability addresses an engineering productivity gap.
SOSSEC consortium membership enables Accurate Engineering to participate in Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreements — including prototype projects and follow-on production where OTA provides acquisition speed advantages over traditional FAR-based contracting.
40+ years of hands-on AGT-1500, T700, and T55 experience not available from generalist firms.
SOSSEC consortium membership enables rapid engagement on OTA vehicles without FAR overhead.
SWIFT provides engineering knowledge retrieval deployable on-premise for sensitive environments.
SAM-registered small business supports prime contractor small business participation goals.
