DaVinci Aircraft Inc. to supply accelerometers for the US MilitaryHighly customised, high-performance sensors will be deployed to extend
the life of military aircraft platformsa global leader in the design, development and manufacture of sensors for military, aerospace and industrial applications, has been selected by DaVinci Aircraft, a
company that specialises in sourcing obsolete aircraft parts, to
supply customised accelerometers for the US military.The Defence Logistics Agency for the US military approached DaVinci
Aircraft to source a number of highly customised accelerometers to
extend the life of some of its older military aircraft platforms.
DaVinci Aircraft soon discovered that the companies that originally
supplied the sensors for these aircrafts have now gone out of business
or no longer manufacture the required parts.Being able to safely extend the life of military platforms such as
aircraft to address future threats within the budgetary constraints
that exist has become vital and being able to continue to supply the
parts for these, even if they are no longer being manufactured is
critical.Leonardo Parra, founder and president of DaVinci Aircraft Inc. is a
DOD Defence contractor that supplies aircraft components to the US
Government, he explains, “Before speaking to Sherborne Sensors we had
all but given up hope of being able to source the highly customised
parts. Luckily Sherborne Sensors are experts in the design and build
of customised high performance sensors and despite the specialised
nature of these products it could turnaround the order extremely
quickly.”“Customised products are Sherborne Sensors’ speciality,” said Mike
Baker, Managing Director, Sherborne Sensors. “We are able to design,
develop, test and deliver customised sensor products and systems
across a variety of markets and employ a number of experts in
mechanical prototyping, electrical circuit design, accessory design
and integration, and sensor packaging who are extremely adept at
designing robust, accurate and repeatable products, in a
cost-effective and timely manner.”Sherborne Sensors can customise any of its wide range of products to
conform to specific customer requirements. All Sherborne Sensors’
products are thoroughly tested and calibrated to international
