AAI Capabilities

            During its more than 50 years in business, AAI has built a reputation as a top-rated global corporation by developing, producing, supporting, and upgrading complex equipment for the U.S. Department of Defense as well as international defense customers.

            Beginning with concept and design, AAI’s highly trained technicians and engineers craft solutions to issues that face our customers, in areas ranging from unmanned systems, test systems, and training systems to contractor logistics support and engineering services. Our experts combine systems engineering, software, hardware, and integration technologies to tailor solutions that meet unique requirements.

            Our business areas are fully supported by modern mechanical and electronic centers required for successful fabrication, assembly, integration, and test. Our manufacturing capabilities range from production of unique one-of-a-kind prototypes to full production of complete sophisticated systems.

            The company’s design and manufacturing processes are certified to the demanding ISO 9001:2000 and AS9100 quality system specifications. In addition, AAI is fully compliant with the ISO 14001 environmental specification.

            AAI has been externally assessed at Level 5, the highest level of the U.S. Defense Department’s Software Engineering Institute Capability Maturity Model.

            In the field, AAI’s highly skilled engineers and technicians are embedded with platoons standing shoulder-to-shoulder with America’s warfighters, developing creative and resourceful support techniques that go well beyond manuals and ordinary training in support of mission success.

            In addition, AAI’s asset management team works around the clock to keep a chain of parts, components, and morale flowing to many sites where AAI systems are deployed. In fact, AAI’s unmatched expertise in the area of performance-based logistics is keeping military systems operational across the globe, and has earned us the first ever performance-based logistics award from the Secretary of Defense for mission success in the global war on terrorism.

            Our work at AAI extends beyond today’s applications and includes aggressive research and development efforts across a wide spectrum of cutting-edge technologies. For example, we’ve developed a superior family of systems that detect gunfire from hidden or distant sources and are reducing the weight of small arms weapons and ammunition for the warfighter.

            Whether it’s for multimillion dollar contracts or smaller one-of-a-kind prototypes, AAI professionals consistently apply innovative technologies to achieve uncommonly successful results for each and every challenge.
