Aviation Operations

Instructor Pilot Flying CH-47F

has significant history and branding as both an aviation support and systems engineering company. Our programs that support aviation operations cross into many distinct market sectors but are at the same time often synergistic in delivering superior aviation service and product solutions to our customers. These programs include support to US and Partner Nation (PN) military/security organizations in the form of systems engineering and technical assistance, aviation training and operations, and aviation logistics. Additionally, we provide comparable commercial aviation support to the General Aviation community in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules and regulations. Aviation Operations is that one core capability that integrates many of the other standalone functional strengths of S3, including SETA support, aviation training and operations, and aviation logistics support. Based on S3’s initial experience with the Army National Guard Bureau’s  High Altitude Aviation Training Site Support,  the maturing technology as well as tremendous capabilities promised by High Altitude Platforms, S3 is expanding its expertise to all aspects of the High Altitude Domain.
