The aerospace and defense (A&D) sector must meet the highest standards of quality, as their systems serve in critical applications. At Reliant Systems, Inc., we support this industry to achieve these standards with high-precision motion stages, including both pre-existing and custom-manufactured stages, which operate in everything from radar alignment to flight control. We also offer precision contract manufacturing and machining. 

Why Accuracy Is Mission Critical

Precision matters for various reasons in the A&D industry, including: 

• Reliability: Lower variability in parts creates more predictable behavior and fewer unexpected failures. 
• Performance: Systems often need to work in extreme conditions, including fluctuating temperatures and exposure to impacts. 
• Safety: Lives depend on the proper functioning of every component, so each one must have the utmost quality.

How Motion Systems Serve the Industry

Before components reach the field, they must go through assembly and inspection processes. Precision motion stages assist in enabling the exact positioning necessary, from moving sensors to test the strength of a material to adjusting a camera to the placement required for inspecting a material's surface. 

Precision motion solutions play a vital role across aerospace engineering and manufacturing solutions. High-accuracy stages are used in a variety of applications—from aligning optical components in satellite systems and calibrating avionics sensors to positioning elements in missile guidance and propulsion systems. These motion systems are critical for ensuring the reliability and accuracy of defense and commercial aerospace operations.

Challenges That Define Aerospace Engineering

The A&D sector faces several unique challenges, including stringent regulatory requirements and rapid technological advancements. As technology evolves, the industry must stay ahead and upgrade its quality assurance processes to meet the demands of the latest changes. Finally, aerospace and defense equipment must operate reliably under extreme conditions. These challenges influence design and manufacturing by increasing the need for precision in every area, from initial design to the finished solution.
