Airborne Electronic Hardware

Safety-critical hardware engineered to aerospace’s toughest certification standards

Airborne electronic hardware carries little tolerance for compromise. Design Assurance Levels A through C set a demanding standard – and it’s the standard this hardware is held to, from initial concept through to in-service upgrades and retrofit.

Development follows DO-254, with software interfaces built to DO-178C and environmental qualification to DO-160, so integration teams receive hardware that performs precisely as specified, without late-stage rework.

Customisation and through-life support are built in from the outset, giving programmes hardware engineered for requirements that continue to evolve long after entry into service.

Standards

DAL A – C: Design assurance
DO-254: Hardware development
DO-178C: Software interfaces
DO-160: Environmental qualification

Aviation is moving quickly, bringing new obsolescence pressures alongside genuine opportunity. Navigating obsolescence, sustainability, electrification and Advanced Air Mobility requires electronic hardware that keeps pace with next-generation aircraft and eVTOL platforms – without compromising on certification.

As the industry moves toward greener and more intelligent aviation, that hardware needs to extend aircraft longevity while strengthening environmental credentials – not simply meet today’s requirements:

Electromechanical Actuators

Precision actuation for primary and secondary flight control – engineered to DO-254 and qualified for the loads and duty cycles your platform demands.

Inceptors

High-fidelity pilot control devices engineered for precise input and realistic force feedback, drawing on decades of active control system development for fixed-, rotary-wing and now AAM/eVTOL platforms.

Electronic Control Systems

Engineered for electromechanical assemblies – delivering the safety, efficiency and responsiveness that high-performance DAL A-C applications demand.

Components fall out of production long before an airframe reaches the end of its service life, and hardware built around it has to keep operating regardless. Upgrading outdated components to maintain operational capability sits at the centre of that challenge – but it rarely sits alone.

Addressing it well means hardware capable of:

Sustainability – reducing environmental impact through energy-efficient replacements for legacy hardware
Electrification – supporting the shift toward electric flight with lighter, more efficient control hardware
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) capability – delivering electronic systems suited to eVTOL and next-generation aircraft.

As revolutionary new concepts accelerate aerospace innovation, keeping ageing hardware capable – rather than simply compliant – extends aircraft longevity and strengthens environmental credentials at once.
