CHELTON AVIONICS, INC

Chelton Avionics, Inc. specializes in the manufacturing, repair, and integration of mission-critical avionics systems and aircraft auxiliary equipment for U.S. government aviation platforms. The company delivers precision-engineered components including antennas, tuners, switch panels, and crimp kits for military and coast guard helicopters, with deep expertise in navigation, guidance, and communication instrumentation. Their technical focus centers on the installation, refurbishment, and sustainment of avionics hardware for platforms such as the USCG MH-60T and MH-65, ensuring operational readiness through rigorous component-level repair and system integration. Chelton Avionics demonstrates consistent proficiency in maintaining airborne electronic systems to stringent military specifications, with particular strength in RF subsystems, antenna assemblies, and avionics interface hardware. The contractor maintains a strong, sustained relationship with the Department of Homeland Security, primarily supporting U.S. Coast Guard aviation programs through the procurement and repair of mission-specific avionics components. They also serve the Department of Defense with similar avionics sustainment tasks, particularly for rotary-wing platforms requiring precision instrumentation and communication system upgrades. Their work reflects a pattern of recurring, mission-critical support rather than one-time procurements, indicating trusted vendor status within these agencies. Chelton Avionics operates primarily within the aerospace and defense electronics manufacturing sector, with core activity centered on NAICS 334511 (aeronautical systems) and 336413 (aircraft auxiliary equipment). Their market positioning is that of a niche supplier focused on the sustainment and modification of legacy and current-generation military and maritime aviation electronics, filling gaps in the supply chain for specialized, low-volume components not readily available through commercial channels. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Prescott, Arizona, Chelton Avionics is positioned as a responsive, technically agile contractor without federal certifications, relying instead on proven performance and domain-specific expertise to secure repeat engagements in the defense and homeland security markets.
