Platform Systems – Air (Safety-Related & Supporting Systems)

We design and integrate air platform systems that support aircraft safety, availability and regulatory compliance on complex defence platforms, including maritime patrol and ISR aircraft such as P-8-class programmes. Our focus is on platform-level, safety-related and supporting systems, rather than core flight-critical avionics.

We deliver safety-allocated systems and functions identified through MAA aligned safety cases and SOIs (Statements of Intent) agreed with primes, OEMs and airworthiness authorities. Enabling low-risk delivery of safety-related aircraft systems without encroaching on certified flight-critical avionics.

This includes electrical power distribution to safety-critical equipment, protection and control panels, platform monitoring, auxiliary and environmental control functions, and ground and maintenance support systems. Architectures are designed for resilience, segregation and fail-safe behaviour where required.

We provide full DDQ (Design, Develop and Qualification), aligned to ARP4754A, UK Def Stan, IEC standards, and MAA expectations, with applicable elements of DO-178C / DO-254 applied where safety allocation demands. Safety and assurance practices align to HSE principles for ground and maintenance environments.

This approach allows us to credibly support UK and allied air programmes with low-risk, standards-compliant platform systems that protect lives, aircraft and critical assets.
