Aircraft Modifications
We perform FAA-certified aircraft modifications including structural changes, system integrations, and mission-specific configurations. Our engineers implement electrical upgrades, avionics modernization, and special mission equipment installations while maintaining strict airworthiness standards. These modifications enhance aircraft capabilities for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations.
NVIS Lighting Systems
Our NVIS lighting solutions modify cockpit and exterior aircraft lighting for compatibility with night vision goggles. We engineer systems that balance daylight readability with NVG performance while meeting MIL STD 3009 requirements. This includes specialized filters, LED conversions, and infrared lighting for covert operations.
Systems Integration
We integrate complex avionics systems, communication equipment, and mission-specific electronics into aircraft platforms. Our team handles complete systems engineering from design through certification, including roller floor cargo systems, medical equipment installations, and multi-role configuration capabilities for rapid mission adaptation.
Special Mission Configurations
We develop specialized aircraft configurations for intelligence gathering, medical evacuation, and combat operations. This includes designing quick-change interior systems, installing mission-specific electronics, and implementing structural modifications to support unique operational requirements while maintaining full regulatory compliance.
