CHELTON LIMITED

Chelton Limited specializes in the design, repair, and procurement of mission-critical aerospace and communications components, with deep expertise in antenna systems for military and homeland security aircraft. The company delivers tailored solutions for radio frequency (RF) transmission and reception hardware, including fixed reception pattern antennas (FRPAs), VHF-UHF switching assemblies, and auxiliary aviation electronics, ensuring operational readiness for platforms such as the HC-144 and HC-27J. Their technical proficiency spans electromagnetic compatibility, signal integrity, and ruggedized component manufacturing, aligning with stringent DoD and DHS environmental and performance standards. Chelton’s niche lies in rapid sustainment of legacy avionics systems, particularly in scenarios involving non-available parts, where they execute engineering evaluations and alternative sourcing under FAR 25.103(B)(1) exceptions. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, primarily supporting aviation logistics and airborne communications modernization. For DHS, they deliver antenna repair and component validation for Coast Guard and border patrol aircraft; for DoD, they provide specialized RF hardware for surveillance, navigation, and long-range assault platforms, often under urgent delivery timelines. Chelton’s primary industry focus is in aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (NAICS 336413), complemented by wireless communications equipment manufacturing (334220) and air transportation support services (488190). They operate at the intersection of aerospace sustainment and RF systems integration, positioning themselves as a niche provider for hard-to-source, mission-essential avionics components. As a small business entity (X6 structure) based in Marlow, Chelton Limited holds no formal government certifications but demonstrates sustained capability through direct contract execution in highly regulated defense and homeland security markets. Their geographic footprint is limited to a single location, yet their technical scope supports nationwide federal aviation operations.
