Two business units within Cobham’s Avionics and Surveillance Division, Chelton Flight Systems and S-TEC, are merging to create an avionics center of excellence based in Mineral Wells, Texas.
The new integrated business unit will operate under a single management team by the end of 2008.
“We aim to make this move transparent to our customers and dealers,” says Richard Tyson, president Cobham Avionics & Surveillance. “The only change we expect anyone to see is the introduction of a number of new and exciting integrated avionics systems.”
Chelton and S-TEC have complementary products certified together on more than 500 aircraft types.
