Today’s instability in the World places unique demands for our defense environments that will require real time solutions for mission critical components. With the threat of infrared missiles growing, the U.S. and its allies for 2011 will continue to see military requirements for the next generation of counter-measurement systems. Examples like the Patriot PAC-3 (defense against high-performance ballistic missiles in clutter conditions) & PAC-2 missiles (counter aircraft, cruise missiles, & ballistic missiles in heavy countermeasures environments), Minco has 30 years of experience in delivering such products and capabilities focused in such areas of guided & navigation systems, guided missile systems, and launch systems.

2011 will be the year when the U.S. military’s 21st century tactical aviation fleet really starts (the Air Force is set to receive its first training F-35s). Now, the Navy’s EA-18G Growler electronic warfare jets are making their first deployment. The Growlers are replacing the ancient fleet of EA-6B Prowlers as the Navy’s electronic attack aircraft. As the Air Force rounds out its fleet of F-22s and starts to take deliveries of its first production F-35s this year, we’ll start seeing the long awaited shift in the makeup of the U.S. tactical air fleet toward the 21st Century, not to mention that these jets will bring revolutionary technology into service while upgraded and modernized F-15s and F-16s will back them up for years to come. Here again Minco, a certified AS9001 and ISO9001-2008 company supplies both standard and custom products focused exclusively on serving the needs of the military aircraft and its ever changing needs to this market.
