WCG Maritime & Flight Support

Mission-Ready Support for Maritime and Aerospace Operations

Western Confluence Group delivers advanced maritime and flight test support for clients and companies conducting operations on water or in the air. We are mission-proven in supporting experimental aircraft operations, prototype vehicle testing, and over-water aerospace trials.

Our personnel are cross-trained in aquatic rescue, tactical medicine, and executive protection—and operate in direct coordination with test directors, safety officers, and control teams. We also support private security and standby rescue for high-net-worth clients during yacht travel, island transit, or other marine-based excursions.
