ANALYSIS & EVALUATION, FINAL ASSEMBLY, AND STEP-BY-STEP IMPLEMENTATION

We offer our customers independent and comprehensive consulting in the evaluation of systems, and assist them with calculating life-cycle costs (Total Cost of Ownership, TCO). In this way, in our role as the materials, technology, and logistics center for the Swiss Air Force, we have completed the final assembly of diverse systems and have adopted an ideal foundation for subsequently providing regular support to the fleet.
