NG3000 – The Next Generation of the 3000 Series
The Next Generation 3000 Series (NG3000) platform offers a robust, technically advanced, and cost-effective solution. The product has been designed and qualified to meet the requirements of both commercial and military aviation. It is also well suited for emerging markets such as Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and space launch vehicles.
This product line is based on the proven PTX/PMP3000 platform, originally launched in the year 2000. Druck Aerospace has been supplying the aerospace industry for over 30 years, with a large installed base across many of the world’s leading aviation programs. The experience gained during this period, combined with modern design and manufacturing processes, has enabled technological advancements that are now implemented in this fully configured Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) solution.
The COTS approach reduces the need for costly qualification testing and long development cycles, while also supporting smaller program requirements. The product range has undergone extensive testing and qualification to the latest RTCA DO-160G standards and military aviation requirements—along with additional testing beyond those standards—to ensure reliable performance in a wide variety of applications.
