Aerospace, Space and Defence

In aerospace, space and defence, there is no room for error. Reliability, safety and compliance are non-negotiable. We understand the pressures you face delivering electronics that must perform flawlessly in the harshest environments while meeting some of the world’s strictest standards.

How We Can Help – Our Solutions

We provide electronics manufacturing solutions built around the demands of aerospace, space and defence:

  • High-Reliability Builds – PCBA and precision cable & harness assemblies, engineered to IPC Class 3 and aerospace/defence standards

  • Ruggedisation for Extremes – Conformal coating, encapsulation, potting and strain relief to protect against vibration, radiation and harsh conditions

  • Tailored Test Engineering – Custom rigs for functional, environmental and high-voltage testing, with full traceable data capture

  • Structured NPI and Validation – Prototyping and pilot runs that de-risk designs before scaling to production

  • Global Supply Chain Strength – UK/EU manufacturing, vetted distributors, proactive obsolescence strategies, and ITAR/EAR compliance
  • Quality and Compliance You Can Trust – ISO 9001 certified, with experience across AS9100, IPC Class 3, and ESA/ECSS standards
Challenges

We know the realities you’re up against:

  • Electronics that must withstand vibration, radiation, temperature extremes and EMI – often for decades

  • Strict compliance with AS9100, MIL-STD, IPC Class 3, ESA/ECSS and other demanding standards
  • High-complexity, low-to-medium volume builds that require precision and traceability at every step
  • Long lifecycle and obsolescence management, with products needing support for 10–30 years
  • Secure, resilient supply chains and controlled handling of sensitive components
