Partnering with Extant

Extant supports original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their customers by licensing or acquiring mature, non-core OEM aerospace electronics and avionics products. This enables the OEMs to focus on new product development and support, while ensuring complete lifecycle sustainment for customers and users of older products.

Extant focuses on:

  • Assuming full level of OEM support (production, repair, customer support etc.)
  • Ensuring the integrity of OEM's intellectual property through in-house resources and infrastructure
  • Tailoring agreements to meet the requirements of the OEM

  • Older platform with an extended service life
  • Newer platform with limited production run
  • Military, commercial, or business jet applications

    • Customer View

  • Long & variable lead times (especially on repairs)
  • Still require support on technical issues
