New products are the lifeblood of the Aerospace and Defense industry, pushing through conventional boundaries and innovating new technologies and applications that will meet the needs of tomorrow’s customers.
New Product Development (NPI/NPD) does not come cheap however; it requires vast amounts of resources that companies cannot afford to waste on false starts, vague requirements and poor quality.
Glide Aerospace has the right NPI expertise to guide an organization from initial product idea all the way through design engineering and product launch. Glide can tailor an approach to best fit the organization, product and the market, using proven methodologies like Systems Engineering and Lean Startup.
In addition, Glide Aerospace has extensive experience managing the qualification of complex systems through analysis and testing of components to such industry recognized standards as DO160.
Whether HIRF, Lightning, Environmental testing or internal product validation testing, Glide Aerospace can ensure test requirements are fully identified and then validated through a managed testing program. Glide Aerospace has partnered with the leading test facilities around the world to arrange and oversee specialized testing that cannot be easily performed at our client's facilities.
