. Our facility in Torrance, California is an AS9100 and AS9110C facility that offers Avionics Safety-Certifiable subsystems. Our facility in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey is ISO 9001:2015 certified and offers digital signal processing products. Our facility in Gulf Breeze, Florida is AS9100 certified and offers rugged avionics and electronics. Our facility in Norcross, Georgia is AS9100 certified and offers RF and microwave products. 

Although we generally use standard parts and components for our products, certain components, including custom designed Application-Specific Integrated Circuits ("ASICs"), static random access memory, FPGAs, microprocessors and other third party chassis peripherals (single board computers, power supplies, blowers, etc.), are currently available only from a single source or from limited sources. 

We also design, develop and manufacture digital radio frequency memory units for a variety of modern electronic warfare applications, as well as radar environment simulation and test systems for defense and intelligence applications. We develop high performance signals intelligence payloads and EO/IR technologies for small UAV platforms as well as powerful onboard UAV processor systems for real-time wide area motion imagery.

Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights

We hold a broad collection of intellectual property rights to protect our proprietary technologies and our brands. These include patents, designs, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets in the U.S. and various foreign countries. Although we believe the ownership of such intellectual property rights is an important factor in differentiating our business and that our success depends in part on such ownership, we primarily rely on the innovation skills and technical expertise of our employees.

We regularly file patent and trademark applications, including payment of related maintenance fees, to protect innovations and brands arising from our research and development. We also rely on a combination of trade secret, patent, copyright, and trademark laws, as well as contractual agreements, to safeguard our proprietary rights in technologies and in our products. In seeking to limit access to sensitive information to the greatest extent practicable, we routinely enter into confidentiality agreements and assignment of invention agreements with each of our employees and consultants, and execute nondisclosure agreements with our customers, suppliers, and vendors.

We have licensed intellectual property rights in the past and expect that we may license such rights in the future to certain other parties.
