At the time, the Navy was heavily investing in aircraft technology updates and the unification of its aircraft procurement strategies. Don recognized this investment as an opportunity to develop an environment for highly valued, innovative, and motivated individuals. So, with the dream of creating an environment that encourages ingenuity and cares for its employees as individuals, he started Don Selvy Enterprises, Incorporated.

DSE started as a consulting business in September of 1997. By February the following year, DSE was developing aircraft training systems, spreading its reach to program management of simulators, development of curriculum, and accounting of complete courseware and training equipment. Our expansion naturally branched into providing engineering and program management for front-line aircraft and equipment supported by the training systems. DSE began and has continued to cultivate its program and technical expertise with presence on aircraft development, acquisition, and training teams for a majority of the aircraft in the Navy’s portfolio.

Throughout the years, DSE’s involvement with many projects has directly enabled front-line soldiers, sailors, and Marines to fully exploit the tactical capabilities of aviation and maritime platforms. Our partnership with other high-performing companies and innovative staff have continued to provide opportunities uniquely tied to current events.
