We endeavor to advance the pace of technology insertion into the aerospace industry and other highly regulated industries by utilizing the latest in proven commercial technologies while leveraging our extensive experience in certification and services.

This is accomplished by providing an entrepreneurial environment for our employees that will continue to create growth and open new markets as the pace of technology continues to advance.

History

Astronics CSC formed as a subsidiary of Astronics upon the merging of Telefonix PDT and Astronics Armstrong Aerospace in 2017.The companies merged a combined 50+ years of experience, and now, together with other Astronics subsidiaries, offer the most complete set of IFEC hardware solutions available from a single vendor.

The merge brought together a leader in the design, development, and manufacturing of complex product solutions with experts in matching installation kits with FAA certification and the capability to provide international approval (EASA, CASA, CAAC, JCAB, CTA, etc...).

The robust combination is now delivering custom solutions as well as embedded and portable IFEC hardware solutions for both commercial and business aircraft, with turnkey design solutions that result in lower cost kits, shorter installation time, and a favorable approach process.
