Aviation electronics include systems designed for use in flight. Types of avionic systems include navigation and communication equipment, mission computers, weapon and targeting systems, EO/IR, UAVs, and more. Whether manned or unmanned, all require sophisticated power solutions to keep airborne systems functional.
Since our inception in 1981, ACT has been serving the avionics military industry and meeting the demands for reliable power in airborne applications. This field-proven experience has led us to be a leader in rugged, military-grade avionic power supplies for the defense industry. All of our power solutions are designed and built to comply with necessary application requirements.
In order to have top-notch performance and protection in air, avionics need to meet specific environmental standards, such as MIL-STD-704 for input voltage characteristics, MIL-STD-461 for EMI, and MIL-STD-810 for shock, vibration, and altitude requirements. There are other factors to consider for avionic applications as well, like hold up time, temperature range, altitude, and ingress protection.
In addition to these requirements, application characteristics need to be considered as well. Things like SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) requirements and where/how the power supply will be used. Will the unit be used in a fixed or rotary wing environment? Will it be a manned and unmanned aircraft? Will the space be inhabited or uninhabited?
Our AC-DC MIL-COTS are designed to meet these requirements and can quickly be modified to meet specific application needs. We also have the in-house capabilities to engineer and manufacture a custom power solution tailored toward your exact program and application must haves.
We’re dedicated to meeting quality and safety standards and providing superior, long-lasting power solutions. We have our quality system certified to AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015. Our certification is valid for the design and manufacturing of ruggedized custom power supplies and electronic devices. Our quality assurance operations address incoming inspections; in-process inspections; final inspections, including data analysis; and correct action programs to ensure the highest quality in our products.
ACT is a valued partner to the United States military and prime defense contractors. With decades of field-proven experience engineering custom military-grade power supplies, we have the skills to deliver sophisticated, high-quality power solutions that fit the unique requirements of airborne applications.
Our design expertise combined with our vertically integrated manufacturing and test capabilities give us precise control to deliver a reliable product in an expedient and cost-effective manner. So, whether you need a power supply that’s off-the-shelf or something custom, we’re here to partner with you in building a solution that will last. Contact us today!
