Applications for CD and DVD technology in aeropace and geospatial
applications are as varied as the organizations that comprise this
market segment. Our clients include the biggest names in aerospace,
including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, NASA, JPL, Airbus, BAE Systems,
and the US Air Force.
CD/DVD technology provides many advantages, including cost, reliability,
media longevity, and availability. The technology has attained sufficient
economic scale through its consumer applications to enable near
universal availability - nearly every computer can read CDs and
DVDs.

And unlike tape and proprietary optical formats, reading a disc
10, 20, or 30 years from now is unlikely to present any difficulties
due to obsolescence.
Maintaining backwards compatibility as well as cross-platform compatibility
have been two of the most significant factors contributing to the
success of CD and DVD.

Airplane manufacturers use our CD and DVD recording systems to
archive and distribute maintenance manuals and illustrated parts
lists. Test flight data is archived to DVD for later analysis.
JPL and NASA use these same systems to archive and distribute satellite
data from satellites and interplanetary probes. Telemetry and other
data is archived to DVD for analysis by government agencies and
institutions of higher learning.
