About Aerodata

Aerodata AG is a special mission aviation company founded in 1985 as a spin-off of the Technical University of Braunschweig, headquartered at Braunschweig-Wolfsburg Airport. The company develops and produces flight inspection systems (AeroFIS), mission management systems (AeroMission), navigation and satellite communication systems (AeroNav, AeroPhone) as well as GNSS anti-jamming solutions. As a general contractor, Aerodata covers the entire value chain: from design (EASA 21J) to the manufacture of avionics and aeronautical equipment (EASA 21G) to integration, special mission aircraft conversion and maintenance (EASA 145, CAMO+). In three hangars at the Braunschweig site, the team services aircraft of general aviation, business aviation and special mission aircraft operators. Customers include aviation authorities, air navigation service providers, militaries and surveillance organisations worldwide, among them DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung, the Japanese aviation authority JCAB and the Armed Forces of Malta. The Aerodata Group is represented worldwide with subsidiaries in the USA, Norway, India, Thailand, Malaysia and Australia. In 2025 the company celebrated its 40th anniversary; by 2018, 100 flight inspection systems had been delivered.
