From countering drones and keeping runways clear from debris, to detecting electromagnetic attacks and protecting airfield perimeters, our innovations ensure safety, security and smooth operations.

Performance and protection are at the core of many of our solutions: manufacturers trust our wind tunnel facility to help them evaluate their aircraft's take off and landing, and our innovative material protects aircraft from impact damage.

We manage ETPS, one of the world’s most renowned test pilot schools, training pilots and engineers to safely and effectively conduct all forms of test flying, including EASA approved civil certification programmes.
