Custom-engineered solutions for mission-critical requirements
No two customer requirements are alike. Spectra engineers solutions tailored to exact program needs — from single components to fully integrated systems built for new and legacy platforms.
Built around the customer
Off-the-shelf products rarely satisfy the full scope of operational requirements. Spectra’s approach is grounded in active listening, close collaboration and deep technical engagement — developed over many decades of program partnership.
Spectra designs for the full program lifecycle, providing continual upgrades and capability insertions that protect the customer’s investment over the long term. From initial requirements definition through fielding and beyond, the result is always a practical solution that meets or exceeds the mission objective.
From hot deserts to snowcapped mountains, from the depths of the ocean to the harsh vacuum of space, Spectra’s custom-engineered solutions are built to operate wherever the mission demands.

Comprehensive capabilities across domains
Whether a program requires a single data recorder, a ruggedized display or a fully customized end-to-end Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) solution, Spectra provides integration support across its complete product portfolio.
Display systems
Spectra’s display portfolio spans compact 5.0-inch tactical displays to large-format 43-inch command center screens, engineered to deliver clear situational awareness in demanding operational environments.
Lightweight tablets ranging from 5.0 to 21.3 inches provide flexible, portable display solutions for operators requiring mobility without sacrificing performance.
Computing and peripherals
High-performance compact mission computers and fully equipped workstations deliver the processing power required for demanding airborne, naval and ground applications.
Computing peripherals engineered for ruggedized environments extend system capability without compromise to reliability or operational footprint.
Data recording and storage
Ruggedized data recorder systems, airborne and ground-based storage solutions, servers and network-attached storage devices form the foundation of Spectra’s data capture and management portfolio.
All products are engineered for reliable performance in harsh environments. Combinations of products can be configured to deliver complete subsystem solutions across platforms and domains.

Engineering excellence and technology leadership
Proven on platforms worldwide
Spectra’s engineering teams transform commercial technologies into mission-ready solutions qualified to withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, shock, vibration and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
From Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) console displays to naval control systems, from airborne flight and mission data recording to processing and routing systems, Spectra works closely with military contractors to develop solutions that meet exact operational requirements.
Spectra remains committed to taking on the challenges others won’t. That commitment is reflected in a portfolio proven on more than 25 U.S. fixed and rotary-wing platforms — including fighters, bombers, attack helicopters, transports, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft and special mission aircraft.
