Dedicated high-tech manufacturing & test centers

Adding value, building in savings

We’re organized for quality, efficiency and cost savings in everything we make. For large, sophisticated satellites and simultaneous spacecraft builds, we invested in the Fisher Integration & Test Facility. Our Detector Technology Center develops, fabricates and tests advanced sensors and instruments.

Some of the world’s most advanced optical components and systems are tested in our Optical Test Facility. The Aerospace Manufacturing Center is home to sophisticated systems for more than 150 U.S. government and commercial programs. Electronics, from customized circuit boards to full-on avionics systems, are developed and tested in the Electronic Product Center.
