The member companies of GIFAS employ 195,000 people in their aerospace activities in France. These figures do not include temporary workers or the total number of suppliers and subcontractors; this field is estimated to be responsible for 350,000 jobs in France. Our sector is constantly in demand.

Harxon Smart Antenna Series integrates the cutting-edge Harxon helix antenna with the high-precision Unicore UM960/UM980 RTK modules in a streamlined, all-in-one design. This cohesive integration significantly reduces development complexity, enabling faster and more efficient deployment of GNSS solutions across UAV applications. By combining advanced positioning technology with robust anti-interference capabilities, the series ensures stable, centimeter-level accuracy even in challenging environments, providing unmatched reliability for mission-critical operations.

Designed on MPS Microsystems’ modular optomechanics platform, the High-Speed Coaxial Lens Actuator delivers custom-engineered, micron-level alignment in a footprint of just 170 × 87 × 45 mm. Two brushless motors drive lens holders (Ø 12.7 mm) that move in the same precision-machined bore, guaranteeing perfect coaxiality throughout the 3.75 mm stroke and no shimming or iterative alignment required. The closed-loop cam mechanism runs friction-free, ensuring a maintenance-free stage that can be used in laser machining heads, spectrometers or 3-D scanners and keeps working for millions of cycles. Most importantly, stroke, motor, encoder and mounting interfaces of this high-speed coaxial lens actuator can all be customized to fit your needs with regards to optical and space constraints.

Supported by a rugged internal combustion engine compatible with heavy fuels, Reliant delivers over 10 hours of persistent ISR without runways, launchers, or recovery gear. Designed for high-wind, high-altitude, and denied environments, Reliant excels where legacy platforms fall short. Dual swappable payload bays support ISR, SIGINT, or EW missions, while onboard edge AI processing enabled by NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX modules delivers real-time threat detection and adaptive rerouting, even without connectivity. The platform can be deployed by a two-person team in under 10 minutes using a compact 10×10-meter footprint for launch and recovery from rooftops, vehicles, ships, or remote terrain. With an IP55-rated, all-weather design and reliable GNSS-denied navigation, Reliant gives operators the flexibility and resilience required to operate in complex, contested battlespaces.

Our products include latches, hinges, keepers and hold open rods.

The aerospace industry has brought one of humanity's oldest dreams to life, a dream that seemed out of reach for so long : the ability to fly, to travel among the stars. Symbolizing freedom, discovery and travel, airplanes bring people together and foster cultural exchange.
