Currently many customers are working to develop different methods of data transmission for commercial aviation. We have been working on this project for over 3 years and as a result we have finally developed a unique manufacturing technique to enable us to support a high rate of production.

We anticipate the necessary rate will now increase as various airlines evaluate the various systems being offered. We feel our customer has a solution which will work better than the others being offered and that we will be well positioned to support that increased production need as their system is adapted. Just as data transmission has become popular, so has the development of spacecraft. Many of the current systems for data transmission require the use of new spacecraft to properly cover the earth's surface. We are currently working with a variety of customers who are actively involved in this development.

We feel this field shows great promise for the future and we look forward to participating as the various programs develop This would include Liquid Cooled Coldplates, Brazed Chassis Assemblies and Heat Exchangers. For many years we have specialized in manufacturing the complex waveguides necessary in the current type of radar systems being offered today. Our high speed machining techniques have been very successful recently. This type of work is difficult and requires some very complex machining techniques which we specialize in. We have been very proactive to identify what investments in personnel, equipment and facilities are necessary to support higher rate production. As a result we have gained a reputation as a company our customers can rely on to meet our commitments. Recently we invested heavily in new machining centers to enable us to increase production to meet our customers' requirements. To assist our customers we offer our manufacturing engineering services to develop products which comply with their requirements. Sometimes that requires proposing engineering changes which improve our ability to machine the product more efficiently. Our methods of machining have enabled our customers to be more competitive.
