Services
Trials Support
Our Trials Support service provides comprehensive management and execution of flight trials for defense agencies. Utilizing MAA-certified processes, we design programs that meet specific requirements, including aircraft modification, regulatory compliance, and multi-asset coordination. With experienced test pilots and engineers, we deliver data-driven solutions for operational testing and evaluation in real-world environments.
Threat Simulation
Threat Simulation services replicate adversarial aircraft and missile threats for military training. Our fast jets, equipped with advanced electronic warfare systems, simulate realistic combat scenarios for air defense drills. This includes jamming, chaff deployment, and radar calibration, enabling forces to practice interception and countermeasures in high-stress environments under NATO-compliant safety protocols.
Aggressor Aircraft
Aggressor Aircraft operations provide realistic air combat training using modified Hunter jets flown by ex-military pilots. These aircraft simulate enemy tactics for dogfighting exercises, supporting pilot training in defensive and offensive maneuvers. Configurable with ACMI pods and threat simulation equipment, they offer adaptable training profiles for air forces and defense contractors.
Target Towing
Target Towing services support weapons training by deploying towed targets for live-fire exercises. Our Hunter aircraft are certified to tow various target systems, including banners and combat darts, with in-house modification and certification capabilities. This enables safe, controlled training for air-to-air gunnery and missile systems testing.
Engineering Solutions
Our Engineering Solutions cover aircraft maintenance, modification, and certification for military fast jets. With MAA approvals for design verification and flight testing, we provide full lifecycle support, including component overhaul, structural repairs, and integration of customer-specific systems. This ensures operational readiness and compliance with evolving defense standards.
