APSYS has helped ensure the safety of embedded systems, software and complex digital hardware for a number of aircraft and systems of the EADS group and its partners. Over 150 specialized engineers located in France, England and Germany can assist your software and hardware designers in meeting your project requirements.

The aircraft industry offers multiple technological and operational challenges. Among them, risk management is essential. For more than 20 years, APSYS and its consultants have participated in the majority of the major civil and military aeronautics programs on behalf of the aeronautic industry.

Through multiple projects, APSYS has capitalized on extensive know-how in the aeronautical field, covering different regulatory frameworks, and applicable methods and tools. APSYS offers its customers taylor made services covering a range of project activities, be they for fixed wing / rotary wing or at the system or equipment level.

INFORMATION SYSTEM SECURITY (ISS)
Over the last two last decades information systems became a valuable company asset: Produced, stored or forwarded data must be safe, available and transmitted securely. This applied equally to embedded systems (aircrafts, satellites, cars, ….).The risks and the threats to information system are real, permanent and multiple. Thanks to its expertise in risk management, APSYS has brought together a team of ISS experts and specialists to help to improve or reinforce the general security level of the information systems for our customers.
