Avionic Modernisation

We are experts in the design, installation, commissioning and testing of avionics upgrades, having a proven track record in delivering upgrades on the C-130 platform worldwide for more than 40 years, we are able to develop commercial-off-the-shelf systems to provide cost effective, low risk solutions.

Our teams can perform avionics studies on each C-130 fleet, creating bespoke avionic modernisation packages to remove obsolescence, to provide operational capability enhancements and to ensure compliance with international aviation regulations. Our experienced test pilots work alongside a dedicated engineering team to evaluate the suitability and usability of all upgrades.
