Companies in SIC 3812 design and build radar arrays, inertial navigation units, satellite and GPS augmentation systems, flight management computers, autopilots, avionics suites, and counter-drone sensors that guide aircraft, spacecraft, ships, and advanced defense platforms; their customers range from commercial airframers and airlines to defense primes, space launch providers, and government agencies demanding mission-critical reliability. Revenue depends on long-term procurement cycles and rigorous certification under FAA/EASA airworthiness rules, ITAR/EAR export controls, and tightening cybersecurity mandates, with risks tied to supply-chain bottlenecks, program delays, and geopolitically driven budget swings. In 2024-2025 the sector is pushing AI-enabled sensor fusion, resilient PNT alternatives to GPS, autonomous flight capabilities for cargo and uncrewed systems, compact AESA radars, and digital-twin testing to shorten integration timelines while meeting sustainable aviation goals.
