SANDEL AVIONICS

Continued from page 27

Sandel’s 16,000-square-foot headquarters in Vista and provides product support through its headquarters and North Carolina-based East Coast regional support center at Concord Regional Airport. On the military side, Sandel’s products are being picked up by forces around the world. In October, NASA Dryden Flight Research Center announced it is equipping its F-18 and F-15 support aircraft with Sandel’s ST3400 terrain avoidance warning system. In an ongoing project, the French Army is retrofitting its entire fleet of Fennec helicopter trainers with the company’s SN3500 primary navigation display. “After the success with the SN3500 in trainer helicopters, the French Army decided to retrofit its entire fleet of Puma attack helicopters with the SN4500 primary flight display,” Henry said. “This project is also being managed by Heli-Union near Paris and is well underway.”

The Australian Army retrofitted its entire fleet of Bell Kiowa Scout helicopters with Sandel’s SN4500 primary flight display and SA4550 primary attitude display. “The project was so successful, the Army recommended the Australian Navy adopt our displays into its coast patrol helicopters, and the project is underway now,” Henry said. While Sandel has invested much time and capital to develop avionics for helicopters, the privately held company isn’t solely focusing on the rotor-wing market. “Sandel is not shifting completely to helicopter products and never will, because we still have a brisk business with fixed-wing aircraft, both civilian and military,” Henry said. “In this depressed economy, it was evident we needed to expand our market outside of corporate and general aviation in order to survive. Helicopters are a reliably consistent growing market as well as military retrofit programs. Sandel has worked very hard to satisfy the requirements for these market segments, and it is proving to be the right direction to go.” q
