Aerospace Engineering and Aircraft Modification Provincial Aviation Maintenance Services Inc., (P.A.M.S.), a wholly owned subsidiary of Provincial Aerospace Ltd., provides a complete aerospace design and fabrication capability for airframe modification, systems integration and installation. Based on the operational experience Provincial has gained in aviation operations since 1972, Provincial developed this capability in support of its own airborne maritime surveillance operations on the East and West Coasts of Canada. This capability targets projects that require cost-effective support involving new or existing aircraft and systems or equipment that require aerospace design, fabrication, systems integration, and airworthiness certification.In the past several years, the Provincial team has seen the successful completion of six Beech C12 Maritime Patrol Aircraft for U.S. Customs Service under a sub-contract with Raytheon Aerospace, as well as six Fairchild C-26 aircraft for various host nations in the Carribean and South America for the U.S. Department of State. The Provincial team has also installed surveillance packages for a number of other international and Government agencies in a number of different airframes. These contracts have involved the installation of Litton AN/APS-504(V)5 Search Radars, Telephonics Search Radars, ELTA EL/M 2032 Air to Air Radar, various FLIR infrared systems, Litton 92 INS, LN-100G INS, Honeywell H-764G INS various SATCOM systems, various SIGINT Systems, along with various other avionics packages. Aerospace Design Provincial can provide clients with complete aerospace design for special projects such as install kit design, airframe modification and equipment rack and console design.All design capabilities are certified and backed by a solid reputation for quality products and services. Provincial Aviation is an ISO 9001:2000 certified company. Component and System Fabrication Provincial’s aerospace team has full experience in the installation and integration of equipment suites from avionics systems to full blown maritime surveillance equipment such as anti-submarine warfare radars, gyro-stabilized electro-optical and infrared systems, nighttime-visible photographic systems, digital communication systems, and airborne data acquisition and management systems. In addition to installation and integration, the company also has significant experience in the operation and application of these systems in airborne maritime surveillance environments. Systems Integration Provincial's aerospace team has full experience in the installation and integration of equipment suites from avionics systems to full blown maritime surveillance equipment such as anti-submarine warfare radars, gyrostabilized forward looking infrared systems, visible nighttime photographic systems, digital communication systems, and airborne data acquisition and management systems. In addition to installation and integration experience, the company also has significant experience in the operation and application of these systems in airborne maritime surveillance environments. This experience has been used by clients such as the Irish Air Corps for complete surveillance operations training packages in one of the World's most challenging maritime environments.
