Aircraft integration solutions

AERTEC offers a comprehensive customised weapons integration service for manned and unmanned aircraft. We cover the entire life cycle, from the feasibility study to in-flight testing, ensuring that our solutions are tailored to the specific requirements of each client.

We integrate missiles, bombs, pods and external payloads with a certifiable turnkey approach.

SMS (Store Management System)

We develop HW+SW for weapon management systems, ensuring their smooth operation and monitoring the state of under-wing payloads, complying with the specific safety standards applicable in each case.

Launchers

Design and development of launch structures tailored to the specific requirements of the payload. Our systems include actuation mechanisms and safety systems to ensure proper in-flight operation.

Scope of service

Integration engineering:

Requirements, ICDs, electrical and data architecture, wiring/power, safety interlocks.

Structures and adaptation:

Pylon/support/adaptor design, FEA, loads and fatigue, dimensional and CoG/inertia compatibility.

Aerodynamics and performance:

Assessment of drag, vibrations, flutter/loads and effects on the flight envelope.

Safe separation:

6DoF simulation, Monte Carlo, definition of launch/ejection envelope.

Testing and instrumentation:

Ground testing (captive carry, static), flight tests, telemetry and data analysis.

Documentation and compliance:

Integration files, client authority certification procedures and support.
and support.

Main features

This sequence ensures optimal performance in all kinds of tactical scenarios.
