Custom Design And Engineering

Military, defense establishments, humanitarian assistance agencies, and other organizations who support security initiatives around the world rely on us to design, engineer, and manufacture the most innovative, most reliable, and most effective lifesaving equipment the world has to offer.

Want more air in your emergency breathing device? Or more buoyancy to your flotation? Or a miniature handheld breathing device? In search of lighter weight, permeable materials?

Whether you need a modification to one of our existing products, or something entirely new, we’ll work with you to first identify your unique needs, then develop and engineer innovative solutions to address those needs, and manufacture them with best-in-class Berry-Compliant precision. Our solutions come in all shapes and sizes, volumes and weights, materials and measurements. So, no matter what it takes to keep your team safe, Aerial can deliver.

Types of customizations for survivability products:

  • Breathing systems: More air volume, smaller package, easier to access and use under duress and in extreme environments. Learn more about our innovative new emergency breathing systems.
  • Flotation devices: More buoyancy, smaller package, less weight and lighter to carry in dangerous, mission-critical conditions.
  • Vests: Stronger, more protective materials, easier to attach other lifesaving equipment and accessories, lighter weight, and more air flow.

Lifesaving Products

For decades, we've supplied the Department of Defense, Allies, and Partners with a broad range of products that can withstand today’s dangerous operating environments and bring you home. In fact, many of our solutions have become the industry standard. Our products include:

  • Integrated flotation devices that keep your head out of the water if you are unconscious
  • Emergency breathing systems that give you access to air if you’re trapped underwater. Learn more about our innovative new emergency breathing systems.
  • Combat and flotation vests that include attachments and accessories to increase survivability
  • Tactical equipment like infantry parachute hardware, pilot harnesses and vests, combat vests, and plate carriers, and a range of accessories
  • Specialized mission-specific kit harnesses.
  • Deployable refill stations, compressors, custom-packed cases, cleaning kits, and more
  • Helicopter hoists, hooks, and ladders supporting water and land operations

“High risk environments require high performance solutions with unwavering reliability. That’s why we’re committed to providing the most innovative, most reliable, and most effective custom-engineered survivability solutions on the market.”

Survivability Training

We understand the value of comprehensive, realistic training, and its impact on mission success. That's why we offer one of the most complete and adaptable operator equipment training programs in the world. Our virtual and live-action training solutions give you a realistic experience in a safe environment, so you are always prepared for any given situation, no matter your role.

Operator equipment training includes:

  • Breathing systems: How to safely, effectively, and accurately break down the equipment, service it, maintain it, and fill it with air
  • Flotation devices: How to use, how to store, and how to effectively move and service the equipment
  • Vests: How to attach equipment in the most efficient, most effective way; how to use, store, and maintain the individual pieces of lifesaving equipment that attach to your vest
  • Enhanced operator training including emergency parts replacement and repair in extreme conditions

Whether you join us at one of our local training centers, or we send a team to you, you’ll walk away with the tactics, techniques, and procedures you need to succeed.

And we aren’t stopping there. In the coming year, we’ll be expanding our training program in innovative new ways — moving beyond equipment operation to real-life survival scenario training.

Policy And Doctrine Development

With well over a century of defense experience under our belts, we've become the global experts writing policies and procedures that increase mission success. We’ll develop guidelines for operating our equipment and training with it in extreme conditions.

When we assist writing policies and procedures, we start at the top, defining high-level, overarching strategies to increase survivability and drive mission success. Then we’ll break them down into the specific components, right down to last detail. We’ll define when to use the equipment and when not to, especially when using it means can change the outcome of the mission. And we’ll describe how to “train as you fight” with your equipment.

Support Services

Time is of the essence. That’s why we offer support services designed to keep your operations up and running:

  • Repair and overhaul with guaranteed repair turnaround times
  • Emergency and reset loaners available upon request
  • Test and reset, as well as end-to-end serialized service program
  • Dedicated stock for high turnover items

Your Go-To Domestic Partner

We’re always getting real-time customer feedback and our engineering teams are proactively solving problems that many people may not even know they have. That’s how we save more lives. Whether it’s modifying an existing product, or creating something new, we’ll design, engineer, and manufacture it to perfection — so you can focus on the mission and your team.
