Aeromechanical Systems

Aeromechanical Systems

Parker Meggitt Defense Systems Division (DSD) stands at the forefront of aeromechanical innovation, particularly in the realm of countermeasure deployment, reeling machines, tactical pod solutions, and towed targets.

These cutting-edge solutions consistently establish industry benchmarks, excelling in performance, cost-effectiveness, and reliability.

Countermeasure Deployment

Countermeasure launchers and countermeasure magazines play a vital role in the self-protection of fixed and rotary wing aircrafts.

Our countermeasure launchers support pyrotechnic jettison of expendables into the airstream, and we offer various countermeasure magazines for different threats and budget constraints, all fitting the ALE-50 form factor and ICD for easy logistics and top of the line protection.

Reeling Machines

Reeling machines are intended for Aerial Target Missions and they provide aerial deployment, as well as recovery of towed targets.

Our reeling machines and launch systems showcase versatility, featuring launch and recovery mechanisms powered by Ram Air Turbine, electric, and one-way inertia systems. This adaptability ensures compatibility with different platforms and operational contexts, enhancing the overall flexibility of our aeromechanical systems.

Tactical Pods

Tactical pods expand the capabilities of aircrafts from upgraded electronic systems to additional lethality.

For more than 40 years, our tactical pods have been deployed across various military fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. Our capabilities include design, testing, development and full production and our past tactical pod solutions have incorporated Ram Air Turbines, Vapor Cycle Systems, Environmental Control Systems and more.

Towed Targets

Towed targets have played a pivotal role in supporting weapon development and in-service training on a global scale.

Our aerial glide and towed target systems are meticulously designed to meet the diverse needs of military applications, demonstrating a fusion of advanced technology and operational efficiency. Our unwavering commitment to excellence has positioned us as the global leader in supplying towed target systems, control systems, and payloads
