Military/Aerospace
Components for Military, Aerospace and Defense applications require a collaborative approach to assure success in the final application. Gowanda Electronics accomplishes this by becoming a virtual member of the customer's product development team. Gowanda's staff actively participates in the early stages of design development (when footprints and configurations are still open for review and change recommendations), thereby providing critical guidance and recommendations for effective product design. Gowanda continues this collaboration with the team long after the design stage is complete, assuring that the right component, whether off-the-shelf or custom-made, is designed, qualified and manufactured per the requirements of the application.
We are committed to being a leader in the Military, Aerospace and Defense components field. We have taken the following steps to affirm this commitment:
