ManufactureRaw Materials to End Product
We understand the importance of attention to detail, which is why we only purchase a select few components. The majority of our products are crafted in-house, starting from raw materials. This encompasses radomes, connectors, PCBs, and we even create the tooling for the moulds.
Mould & Tool Shop – We are a fully equipped facility with a wide range of manufacturing capabilities, including CNC milling machines, injection moulding machines, hydraulic presses, lathes, and custom tool & jig production.
Production Line – Our state-of-the-art production process incorporates rigorous testing and feedback mechanisms, skilled hand assembly stations, automated pick-and-place PCB machines, meticulous X-ray PCB scanning, precision painting, comprehensive quality control test areas, and a dedicated logistic team to ensure the highest quality and efficiency.
TestTesting & Quality Assurance
- Our investment in in-house testing ensures that we are fully equipped to perform comprehensive environmental and mechanical testing to aviation standards MIL-STD-810 and DO-160G.
- Our in-house testing reduces turnaround times, enabling quicker product assessments and faster iterations.
