Mission-Critical Applications

Health Usage & Monitoring Systems (HUMS)	Internet of Things (IoT)	Ground Support Equipment
Knowing a failure is about to happen can save time and money. A HUMS systems ensures a proactive approach to maintenance for troubleshooting and increased uptime. UEI's rugged, reliable, and flexible hardware and I/O solutions are ideal for HUMS.	If your needs are edge computing and sensor fusion, UEI offers a variety of IoT system solutions. UEI has flexible hardware to process and move data via MQTT, OPC-UA, and more. You can even use your own protocol to your cloud.	From rocket launches, avionics control, and ground support, UEI plays a vital role in making sure your final mission is successful. We are trusted by many of the top Space and Defense contracts due to our breadth of product, reliability and proven application successes.

Protocol Conversion / Avionic Bridges	Command & Control Modules	Sensor Interface Units (SIU)
Do you need to convert Serial to 1553 or ARINC-429? How about 1553 to 429, or even an ARINC to Modbus bridge? Our UEIPAC programmable automation controller is the ideal solution for all your Avionics protocol needs.	Trusted by the US Navy as the Command and Control Modules for the Marine LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion) craft, our dual redundant Ethernet capabilities running VxWorks creates a rock solid hardened system.	UEI offers data concentrators that fuse all the sensors (redundantly), creating a rugged and reliable solution that can be used in the harshest Marine and Aerospace environments.
