Sensor Systems

Sensor Systems Inc., founded in 1961, designs and manufactures the finest antennas available for commercial, business and military aircraft.

In the aircraft industry, their solid reputation for high quality and reliability has allowed them to become the largest world-wide supplier of OEM antennas. During the past five decades they have developed and continually improved a complete line of antennas featuring many significant advances in aircraft communication and navigation. Sensor Systems holds over twenty patents and builds more than 200 types of aircraft antennas.

One of their major contributions to the industry is a patented, all-metal, one-piece-cast antenna. This eliminates “P” static and offers high electrical efficiency, greater mechanical strength and longer service life than fiberglass antennas. Another important feature of their products is D.C. grounding to provide lightning protection. Due to these and other features, Sensor Systems’ hermetically sealed antennas are still operating with high reliability and efficiency long after most fiberglass antennas have exhausted their useful life.

TO PRESERVE THIS COMPETITIVE EDGE, THEY MAINTAIN STATE-OF-THE-ART DESIGN, ENGINEERING, MANUFACTURING AND TEST FACILITIES IN OUR 70,000 SQ. FT. MAIN COMPLEX IN CHATSWORTH, CALIFORNIA.

This modern facility was designed and outfitted specifically to produce high-quality aircraft antennas. It gives them complete in-house capabilities and total manufacturing self-sufficiency; including a production machine shop, aluminum foundry, fiberglass molding and precision tooling shops. Manufacturing and assembly operations are fully supported by the industry’s most technically advanced research and design laboratory, instrumented anechoic chambers, and an outdoor computer-controlled pattern range.

They meet or exceed all military specifications and FAA/ EASA requirements for standard and custom antenna designs, with quality control procedures certified to AS9100 standard.

They also maintain a large stock of spares for fast AOG support to commercial airlines and business jet aircraft. Immediate delivery is available via major airfreight carriers.
