AD Aerospace Limited

AD Aerospace is a British company, based near Manchester, England, which designs and manufactures a range of aerospace video camera products, including state-of-the-art video security systems. In addition to general airplane security applications such as threat detection, physical security and access control, these systems are used for monitoring activity in the cockpit, passenger cabin and cargo hold. CabinVu, the latest video camera system in AD Aerospace's successful FlightVu range of airborne security/safety video camera products, offers the flight deck crew an opportunity to assess the situation outside the cockpit door and identify people before allowing them access. This has become increasingly more important following the DfT, FAA and ICAO rulings on the fitting of intruder resistant cockpit doors and provides a basis for decision making in critical and life threatening situations.

The "entry level" system, consisting of a single/multiple video camera(s) located outside the cockpit door and a dedicated LCD monitor on the flight deck, is expandable to a full "FlightVu Witness" system, extending the camera coverage throughout the passenger cabin. The complete Witness system uses a FlightVu digital video recorder/server to record the images for future use in investigation, analysis and prosecution, and can also be seamlessly integrated with ground based security systems, using wireless "Gatelink" connections to the airport terminal. AD Aerospace works with selected partner companies to provide customers with high quality products and customer service. AD Aerospace has chosen Aircraft Engineering & Installation Services Inc (AEI), of Orlando, Florida, as our preferred installation designer. AEI have many years of experience in the design of modifications to commercial aircraft, and have offices in the US, UK, and China.
