We’re equally at home with rotary wing aircraft, including military attack and transport helicopters, observational helicopters, military utility helicopters, maritime military helicopters, multi-purpose helicopters, and military search and rescue helicopters.

Our success is based on our team of highly skilled engineers, whose expertise in the latest technologies is underpinned by a well-established framework of industry and open standards. CALCULEX produces secure, mission-critical defense electronics and software systems for numerous aircraft fleets, missile and UAV systems, and the flight test community. Our trusted systems are fielded on dozens of military platforms, both fixed and rotary wing, and our verifiable track record of rapidly supplying affordable and long life national security data management solutions is second to none.
