Aircrew Flight Equipment (AFE) is critical to ensuring a pilot’s safety, comfort, and operational performance. Pilot Flight Equipment (PFE) must integrate seamlessly with aircraft systems, enhancing survivability and operational efficiency in demanding flight environments. Designed for frontline combat and advanced training, our PFE delivers unmatched protection, reliability, and performance in the most extreme conditions. Whether piloting the latest fast jet or preparing for future air combat, PFE systems provide the advanced design and capability required to succeed in any mission.
Our fully integrated Aircrew Flight Equipment (AFE) ensembles provide below-the-neck protection for pilots operating in high-risk environments. Designed for platform-specific integration, our systems interface with life support, ejection seats, and cockpit equipment to enhance survivability and performance.
Anti-G suits provide critical protection and enhanced endurance for fast jet pilots operating in high-G environments. Engineered to reduce fatigue during high-intensity manoeuvres, our suits enable pilot performance and operational effectiveness throughout demanding missions.
The Aerolite One Single Seat Liferaft delivers essential flotation protection for aircrew following ejection over water. Compared with legacy single seat liferafts, its lighter, more compact design offers significant space and weight savings within the survival kit.
Engineered for survival, our Fast Jet Aircrew Life Preservers provide critical buoyancy and flame resistance for pilots operating in high-risk environments. Designed for emergency ejection and water landings, they integrate seamlessly with flight gear to ensure safety and performance.
Lightweight and durable, our coveralls are designed to maximise mobility and comfort for aircrew operating in demanding environments. Providing essential protection without restricting movement, they form a key part of mission-ready performance and survivability solutions.
Our thermal protection garments are engineered for extreme temperature environments, combining insulation, breathability, and fire-resistant materials. Designed to protect aircrew from both cold and heat, they support sustained performance and safety during extended operations in demanding conditions.
When operating over water or in extreme environments, our immersion protection garments safeguard aircrew from cold shock and hypothermia. Engineered for extended missions, these garments deliver critical thermal protection to maximise survivability in challenging operational conditions.
We partner with leading providers of essential pilot survival equipment, including boots and gloves. Engineered for durability, comfort, and protection, these mission-critical essentials support aircrew performance and safety in extreme environments, from flight operations to survival scenarios.
