- Popular Acron Aviation recorders such as ED-112–compliant Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVR), Flight Data Recorders (FDR) and combined CVFDR platforms, and Lightweight and deployable crash-protected recorders are consistently chosen because they combine proven certification pedigree, flexible integration across multiple aircraft types, and long-term sustainment support.
Aircraft surveillance
- Acron Aviation’s ADS-B surveillance turns precise aircraft position data into predictable, gate-to-gate operations by enabling smoother routing and more reliable arrival and departure flows. With a shared, real-time view of traffic, operators improve efficiency through reduced delays, fuel burn, and tactical interventions. At the same time, enhanced situational awareness strengthens crew confidence and safety across all phases of flight.
- Acron Aviation surveillance systems support mixed fleets by providing a shared, coherent airspace picture that enables commercial, military, rotorcraft, and uncrewed operators to safely and efficiently operate together.
- As a leader in ADS-B In technology, Acron Aviation, as well as our ACSS joint venture with Thales, provides leadership and proven solutions for commercial and military airplanes, helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Acron Aviation surveillance products such as SafeRoute+ ADS-B In Surveillance System and Lynx® ADS-B In/Out Transponder and Display System are widely used because they enhance safety and efficiency.
Flight displays
- Developed to meet the high level of safety standards and new processing requirements for today’s advanced avionics, Acron Aviation flight displays give pilots and operators a clear, intuitive view of critical information, reducing workload and enabling faster, more confident decision-making in all phases of flight.
- They also support procurement teams with flexible, phased modernization paths and a low cost of ownership, enabling upgrades to be introduced over time while protecting existing investments.
- Acron Aviation flight display products such as the EFD-750 Electronic Flight Display, ESIS-5000 Electronic Standby Instrument System, and the Lynx® ADS-B In/Out Transponder and Display System are popular because they boost clarity, support safer decisions, and integrate smoothly with a wide range of aircraft systems while also offering low-cost-of-ownership and modernization flexibility.
Thermal Switches
- Acron Aviation power switches provide precise, self-powered temperature control resulting in reliability for critical aerospace and defense systems, reduced maintenance surprises, and consistent performance in demanding environments.
- Built to meet or exceed stringent MIL-PRF and aerospace quality standards, each switch is individually tested and shipped with documented performance data, giving engineers confidence in long life and consistent operation even in extreme environments.
- Acron Aviation Thermal Switches’ hermetic, all-metal construction and resistance to vibration, shock, and thermal extremes make them ideal for critical thermal control in propulsion systems, electronics bays, environmental systems, and safety circuits across commercial, military, and space platforms.
