Hi-Tec Systems, Inc. (Hi-Tec) and Advanced Aerospace Solutions, LLC (AdvAero) announced that the two companies have formed a Strategic Partnership. The mission of the Hi-Tec/AdvAero partnership is to bring robust end-to-end solutions through research, engineering, testing, simulation, and development to meet the evolutionary requirements of the National Airspace System (NAS) as it transforms to the Next Generation of Air Transportation (NextGen).

The Hi-Tec/AdvAero partnership brings human and capital resources needed to evolve the NAS and ATC technologies and have a track record of successfully reducing the cost and risks associated with major capital programs. Their capabilities include a highly qualified flight test fleet, prototyping, test and evaluation, demonstration, and certification of new technologies. This high powered team, with decades of both federal and commercial experience, will be a valuable asset to government and commercial entities by performing early prototyping, test and evaluation of new technologies, within reasonable costs and timeframes. Hi-Tec/AdvAero is fully capable of conducting advanced development, testing, production, and certification of promising technologies, and applying risk reduction methodologies to any category of manned or unmanned aerial systems (UAS) programs.

Hi-Tec is a privately-held corporation headquartered in Egg Harbor Township, NJ near the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center. Hi-Tec has 15 years of experience in supporting a variety of NAS mission critical and support systems, with extensive experience in providing research, engineering, development, IT, and program management support of NAS Enroute, Terminal, Technical Operations, and Oceanic systems. Hi-Tec brings strong corporate capabilities and experience in supporting the NAS in certification; optimization; process improvement; configuration management; conduct of engineering studies and alternative analysis solutions; documentation development, maintenance, and deployment; and development, testing and production of engineering solutions. Hi-Tec and its personnel have earned several industry awards for outstanding achievement including the Aviation Week & Space Technology Laurels Award.

AdvAero is a privately-held corporation with headquarters in Raleigh, NC. AdvAero offers a unique combination of technologies, subject matter experts, simulation resources, and airborne laboratories which substantially reduce the risk associated with aerospace programs. AdvAero performs rapid-prototyping of emerging technologies, including UAS, for all stages of the development cycle, from early simulations through high-fidelity flight testing in the NAS for certification credit. AdvAero’s numerous successes in rapid prototyping, flight-testing, human factors, and systems engineering, have earned its personnel numerous industry awards, including an Aviation Week Technology Laureate.
