Automation & Control

The Avio Electronic and Electrical Systems Department is a leader in the design and manufacture of advanced automation and electronic simulation systems in naval, defence and aerospace sector.
Today, the Department, known worldwide for the excellent quality of its systems, for the continuous commitment to R & D and the high professional level of its designers, is one of the most significant reference in the field of electronics in Italy and abroad.
The Quality System, thanks to sophisticated equipment and facilities for the in site qualification test, ensure full compliance with the strictest national and international standard in the areas of defence (AQAP, MIL, NAV, FINABEL) and civil (CEI-IEC, IEEE , ISO, DIN).

From the early successes of the'70s with the innovative propulsion control digital system for the "Lupo" class Frigates of the Italian Navy, the Automation Systems Department  has maintained a top position in the systems of supervision and control of naval platform, preparing up over 200 merchant ships and military all around the world (Europe, South America, Far East and Australia).
The products developed by Avio cover all automation functions of the platform necessary for the ship navigation, safety and stability,  offering a full range of integrated tools for the conduct of ships and submarines, including systems of training for crews and equipment maintenance.

Moreover, in the defence sector, Avio works since many years with the two leading Italian manufacturers of weapon systems, WAS and MBDA, providing them inertial systems, developed in collaboration with the French company Sagem DS, and equipment for torpedoes and missiles guidance.

Finally, the Automation Systems Department is strongly developing the activity for control systems in the aerospace sector. Today, we remind already significant presence both for the RB 199 and EJ200 engines for military aircraft Tornado and Typhoon, and for control of General Electric LM family aero-derived turbine; and in the space launcher Vega program, main product of the Avio Space Division, but very interesting new developments are in progress for monitoring the state and the prognostic of engines and components for aircraft engines.
