RAST Electronic sources hard-to-find, obsolete and allocated electronic components for defense primes, their supply chains and every program where a counterfeit part is not an option.
From a single obsolete IC that has stopped a production line to a full BOM for a new program, our sourcing team works every request as if the mission depends on it, because it often does.
Pre-qualified supplier network across North America, Europe and Asia, mined daily for stock that franchised channels cannot deliver.
02Last-time buys, DMSMS support and life-of-program stocking for platforms that must stay in service for decades.
03Fast-response sourcing when lead times explode. A quote within 24 hours, with stock confirmed before we commit.
04Upload a full BOM; we price every line, flag lifecycle risk and deliver kitted, production-ready shipments.
05Visual, X-ray, XRF, decapsulation and electrical test aligned with AS6171, every lot documented with photos and reports.
06Turn idle stock into working capital through consignment, outright purchase or managed resale programs.
Defense supply chains run on long platform lives, strict flow-down clauses and zero tolerance for counterfeits. RAST was founded around those requirements, not adapted to them later.
Explore defense capabilitiesA disciplined, documented process, the same for a ten-piece order as for a full production build.
Send a part number, a BOM or a shortage list. Our team confirms requirements, quantities and documentation needs.
We search franchised, OEM-excess and vetted independent channels, scoring every offer for risk, not just price.
Every lot is inspected and, when required, tested at ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories before it can ship.
ESD-safe packaging, full documentation package and tracked logistics to your dock, worldwide.
Radar, EW, munitions, C4ISR and ground-vehicle electronics.
Avionics, satellites and MRO support for aging fleets.
Imaging, monitoring and life-support equipment builders.
Automation, power conversion and grid infrastructure.
AEC-Q qualified parts for Tier 1 and EV programs.
Network infrastructure and secure communications.
Shortage relief that keeps lines running.
Long-life platforms with long-life supply needs.
We buy only from vetted sources, quarantine every incoming lot and run a risk-based inspection plan aligned with AS6081. Higher-risk parts are escalated to AS6171 test methods (X-ray, XRF, decapsulation, electrical) before release.
Yes. Our compliance procedures cover ITAR and EAR screening, end-use statements and controlled handling of technical data. Tell us your program requirements on the RFQ and we will flow them down to every supplier.
A RAST Certificate of Conformance, available manufacturer or distributor CoCs, inspection report with photos, test reports when performed, and date/lot code records for full traceability.
Our target is 24 hours for standard requests and same day for line-down emergencies. Mark your RFQ "LINE DOWN" and it jumps the queue.
Every part we ship is covered by our quality warranty. If a part fails to meet the specification it was sold against, we replace it or refund it.
