INTERMEDIATE TEST STATIONS
Component repair and capability is an essential element in aircraft sustainment and the organic self sufficiency of an activity. Applying our engineering skills set we provide the capability to stand-up and support new component repair capability. Defense Tech Aerospace's engineering department is technically competent to assess a customer's repair capability request, the level and degree of LRU or SRU repair, and develop a test system, station, and fixtures to support the capability requested.
We offer our customers system expertise in the areas of avionics, pneumatics, hydraulic actuation, controls, instrumentation, and communications equipment. Because no one testing solution is the same, should your facility seek to stand up capability to support military or commercial aircraft, Defense Tech Aerospace looks forward to delivering your activity the solution it deserves.
FLIGHTLINE TEST EQUIPMENT
Supporting commercial and military flightline level testing and fault identification is yet another added value Defense Tech Aerospace provides to its customers. Supporting such flightline aircraft systems as communications, radar, instrumentation, navigation, fuel systems, air data, landing gear retracting testing, Defense Tech Aerospace possesses a solution no matter your platform or application. Contact us directly regarding your testing requirement, so that we may properly align your aircraft and its systems to a cost-effective, safe, and modern solution for your maintenance organization.
MAINTENANCE STANDS
Accessibility and safety are key in the rapid repair and return of aircraft to service post heavy maintenance. Provisioned to support commercial and military heavy maintenance, Defense Tech Aerospace offers its customer Ground Support Equipment (GSE) that will not only increase your repair capability's efficiency, but also secure the safety of your staff.
Many of the stands that we offer are pre-configured to a given aircraft's design series, however upon request we possess the capability and relationships to customize a stand to further adapt to a customer's requirement, work areas, and additional safety needs.
