Navigation Systems
Navigation systems must operate seamlessly to provide accurate and reliable data, critical for safe and effective aerospace operations.
We help customers ensure their systems remain robust and dependable under operational stress, in order to overcome the challenges of delivering precise navigation data in demanding and variable environmental conditions.
Our engineering capabilities and resources support the development of high-performance navigation systems, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of positioning and guidance information for both manned and unmanned defence platforms.
In addition to ruggedised cable assemblies and wire harnesses, we can deliver user-friendly colour or mono-display solutions for navigation applications. These can be customised with capacitive touch functionality, bespoke cover lenses and additional modifications or accessories to meet operational requirements.
By collaborating closely with our customers, we develop tailored navigation solutions that meet your specific mission needs, contributing directly to the safety, efficiency and success of defence operations.
Communication
Reliable communication is mission-critical in aerospace operations. GTK delivers secure, high-performance solutions that ensure uninterrupted data transmission for both manned and unmanned applications.
Our electronic components are designed to perform flawlessly in the most challenging of aerospace environments. From rugged, overmoulded cables to advanced RF and microwave solutions, we provide technology built for reliability and precision.
GTK’s expertise in communication systems, combined with our AS9100 certification, ensures that every product meets the stringent quality and performance standards required in aerospace. Trusted by the defence and aerospace sectors, we deliver robust and reliable communication solutions that keep missions connected.
Power and Lighting
Reliable power and lighting delivery in aerospace applications presents a number of design challenges, such as reliable power distribution, energy efficiency management and the consistent provision of lighting in various conditions.
The need to maintain safety and performance while minimising weight and energy consumption provides another layer of complexity, but we’re here to help.
Our expertise in engineering and design allows us to tackle these challenges by developing innovative solutions that improve power distribution and energy management.
GTK’s end-to-end manufacturing support means we can deliver customised and lightweight components that enhance energy efficiency and reliability. Our collaborative approach ensures that we work closely with our customers to meet safety standards and deliver cost-effective electronics that drive success.
Onboard Entertainment
Providing high-quality entertainment systems that operate seamlessly throughout a flight is essential for a good passenger experience.
We work directly with customers designing in-flight infotainment systems to ensure reliable performance, connectivity and user satisfaction.
Our extensive range of customisable display options provide a winning user experience in terms of onboard entertainment, no matter your requirements. If your onboard entertainment requires bespoke wire harnesses, we can work with you to reduce costs and weight by combining multiple cables into a single loom.
We work closely with our customers to understand their needs, leveraging advanced materials and manufacturing processes to ensure that our components perform reliably, even in the challenging environments that aircrafts can experience.
Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction drives us to deliver superior solutions that enhance the on-board entertainment experience.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)
We excel in providing state-of-the-art cable assemblies for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), supporting customers with everything from surveillance and reconnaissance missions to medical and delivery drones.
Designing cables for UAVs presents unique challenges, with weight being one of the foremost concerns. Keeping the vehicle as light as possible is crucial, as excess weight directly impacts flight performance, range and payload capacity.
Our engineering expertise means that we can design reduced-weight cables without compromising on performance, keeping wire sizes small and using lightweight insulation materials, like PVC or PE. Our commitment to high-quality materials and precise design ensures minimal signal loss and interference, incorporating RF cable assemblies and RF connectors for top performance.
With GTK's knowledge and expertise, we provide superior solutions for your UAV needs, ensuring mission success.
