Dynetics to Showcase Aviation Solutions at Cribbins Symposium

January 26, 2010:

Dynetics will showcase some of its most innovative aviation products and services in Booth #13 at the Army Aviation Association of America (AAAA) 36th Annual Joseph P. Cribbins Aviation Product Symposium. The event will be Feb. 10-11, 2010, at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Ala., with the theme "Sustaining Operations While Recovering."


Dynetics will feature the following aviation solutions:



  • Open Architecture for Telemetry and Instrumentation System (OATIS)

  • Integrated Performance in Aircraft Configuration (IPAC)

  • Quick-Materiel Express Delivery System (QuickMEDS)

  • Warhead Fragmentation Sleeve for the Hellfire Missile

  • Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) National Airspace Integration (NAS)


OATIS is an independent measurement system used to assist in evaluating aircraft performance and system functionality. Modular in design, it makes, logs and transmits inertial and various other measurements to a ground station.


IPAC allows pilots/mission planners to easily view and update aircraft performance settings throughout their planned route, making mission planning more intuitive. It combines flight performance, aircraft configuration, and eventually weight and balance data into a single top-level view for the aviator. IPAC provides more accurate planning values and reduces workload while minimizing the chance of errors.


Quick-Materiel Express Delivery System (QuickMEDS) is a precision delivery system designed for emergency situations where traditional supply methods might place additional soldiers at risk. The guided pod can accurately deliver critically needed supplies from the air to soldiers on the ground.


The Warhead Fragmentation Sleeve for the Hellfire Missile is a pre-scored steel sleeve designed to be externally mounted around the shaped charged warhead of the Hellfire and provide additional fragments when detonated. This increases the number of lethal fragments, provides capability against personnel and light vehicle targets, and expands the mission of UAS against targets of opportunity. The design minimizes impact to the missile’s flight characteristics and warhead penetration performance, while allowing soldiers to retrofit the missile in the theater of operations.


Dynetics’ team of experts has developed new concepts for Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) National Airspace Integration. Zero Conflict Airspace (ZCA) allows UAS operations at night in the NAS without the need for a chase plane or ground observers. Dynetics is currently involved in the concept and design of a Sense and Avoid (SAA) system specifically designed to allow NAS access for UAS by showing alternate means of compliance with see and avoid regulations.


The purpose of the Aviation Product Symposium is to stimulate dialogue among industry executives, senior government officials and military leaders concerning the support of Army aviation’s warfighters.


Dynetics has delivered high-quality, high-value solutions to the warfighter through our government customers, as well as serving other market segments, since 1974. With headquarters in Huntsville and offices throughout the United States, the company’s mission is to bring expertise, integrity and tenacity to every relationship and to demonstrate its commitment to customers by providing powerful solutions to their technical challenges in Intelligence, Missiles, Aviation, Cyber and Space.
