Avionics Integration & Wiring Harness Fabrication

Mace Aviation provides avionics integration, wiring harness fabrication, and instrument panel design and build for defense and advanced aerospace programs. Our avionics capability covers everything from basic troubleshooting and system installation to complete 3D wiring harness layout, fabrication, and certified installation. We build avionics alongside the composite and metallic structures we produce for the same aircraft.

Avionics and Wiring Capabilities

  • Wiring harness design, layout, and fabrication built to MIL-SPEC standards
  • 3D wiring harness routing using CATIA and SolidWorks
  • Instrument panel design, fabrication, and integration from concept through installation
  • Avionics system installation including navigation, communication, targeting, and payload systems
  • Connector termination, splicing, and continuity and hi-pot testing
  • Wire bundle protection including shielding, sleeving, and conduit routing
  • Troubleshooting and repair of existing aircraft avionics systems
  • Integration with in-house manufactured composite and metallic airframe components

What Makes Mace’s Avionics Capability Different

Most composite fabricators cannot also wire an aircraft. Mace Aviation can. Our avionics team sits alongside our composite and metallic fabrication shops. That means we design and install the wiring infrastructure as an integral part of the airframe build, not as an afterthought bolted on at final assembly.

For programs involving targeting systems, weapons integration, or sensor payloads, the avionics routing interacts directly with composite structure, brackets, and cutouts. Managing that interaction in a single shop is a real schedule and risk advantage.

Instrument Panel Fabrication

Mace Aviation designs and fabricates complete instrument panels for experimental, military, and advanced development aircraft. Our panels are designed in 3D, populated with customer-specified avionics, and delivered ready for installation. They arrive wired, labeled, and tested.

Defense Avionics Programs

Our avionics work has supported targeting system integration, weapons payload wiring, and avionics installation for programs involving L3Harris, MD Helicopters, and NAVAIR. We understand the documentation requirements, connector standards, and testing protocols that defense contracts demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Mace Aviation fabricate wiring harnesses?

Yes. We design, lay out, and fabricate complete wiring harnesses using 3D routing in CATIA and SolidWorks. Harnesses are built to MIL-SPEC connector and wiring standards, tested for continuity and isolation, and delivered ready for aircraft installation.

Can Mace Aviation integrate avionics into aircraft it also manufactures structurally?

Yes. Because we fabricate composite and metallic airframe components in-house, we can coordinate avionics routing, bracket placement, and cutout locations at the design stage rather than resolving interference issues during installation.

What avionics systems has Mace Aviation installed?

Our experience includes targeting systems, navigation and communication equipment, weapons payload wiring, and sensor integration for programs across defense and advanced development. Contact us to discuss your specific avionics requirements.
