Trusted engineering, integration, and certification support for complex aerospace programmes

The technical services business stream underpins our understanding of market requirements and supports testing and scoping solutions for a broad range of customers and applications.

Our staff have extensive knowledge and credible experience across crewed and uncrewed aircraft design, development, manufacture, production, delivery, test and evaluation, and regulatory compliance. Our uncrewed experience includes rotary, fixed wing and hybrid design operations, from sub 10kg to 1800kg platforms for customers across the globe.

Our knowledge across the crewed and uncrewed aviation landscape, and delivery of operationally proven systems enables us to offer our clients unbiased advice and support to optimise programmes, reduce risk and deliver pioneering technical solutions.

We pride ourselves on working closely with our clients to achieve shared goals and trust, perfectly placing us to define, develop and deliver cutting-edge bespoke design based off customer requirements.

Focused system development

Complex procurement and technical development programmes surrounding robotics and aviation are some of the most demanding areas to work in.

Our staff have extensive knowledge in the initiation and delivery of large scale, multi million-pound programmes, alongside a track record of delivering to budget against stringent timescales. We believe that combining our practical and executive knowledge in the field, to view our systems from three key perspectives – the end user, the independent assessor, and the prime contractor – enables us to offer our clients unbiased advice and support to optimise programmes, reduce risk, and guarantee cost savings.

Our technical services capabilities

Our technical services bring deep understanding of modern aviation requirements across crewed and uncrewed domains, supporting customers from concept through to delivery.

Defining and analysing customer needs and operational requirements at the outset of a project to ensure technical solutions align with mission goals and end-user priorities.

Development and simulation of aircraft behaviour across different flight regimes using aerodynamic, propulsion, and control models. Supports design validation, control system development, and pilot training.

Evaluation of airframe strength, fatigue life, and structural integrity under various loads and environmental conditions. Supports certification, design optimisation, and material selection.

Designing and integrating avionics, sensors, payloads, and communications architectures into both prototype and legacy platforms to ensure seamless interoperability and mission effectiveness.

Developing advanced flight control, guidance, and mission management software to support autonomous and semi-autonomous operations, delivering precision, adaptability, and reduced operator workload.

Engineering secure, resilient communication architectures and encrypted data links that ensure continuous connectivity between air platforms, ground systems, and command networks in demanding operational environments.

Engineering of navigation systems that maintain accurate positioning and control even when GPS/GNSS signals are unavailable, degraded, or jammed, essential for contested or complex operational environments.

Providing comprehensive system-level testing, validation, and verification to assure safety, reliability, and compliance. Supporting airworthiness certification through evidence-based processes and performance analysis.

Supporting clients through the full certification pathway from requirements definition to documentation, testing, and regulatory engagement to ensure full compliance with recognised aerospace standards.

Transitioning prototypes or development platforms into repeatable, scalable, and certifiable production systems, covering manufacturing processes, quality control, and documentation.

Provision of through-life support including maintenance, operational readiness, logistics planning, and sustainment strategies to ensure continued performance post-delivery.
