WE ARE A LEADING COMPANY, WITH VAST EXPERIENCE AND WORLD-CLASS PEOPLE, WHO SOLVE THE COMPLEX CHALLENGES THAT REALLY MATTER.
Test & Evaluation
So the specifications look good on paper, but unless your expensive new aircraft, autonomous system or complex programme has been thoroughly tested beforehand by experienced professionals, you won’t have complete confidence in success. Nova Systems has been providing independent test & evaluation, along with other specialist engineering services, for over 20 years. With a passion for aerospace we’re committed to delivering innovative and tailored solutions, on time and on budget.
Our experience
We were created in Australia in 2000 by two flight test professionals who envisioned a company based on the camaraderie, expertise and dedication of the professional teams who come together to develop and test new aircraft. Since then, we have grown to a global company of engineering and technology services professionals engaged in programmes of all sizes.
What we do
Creating new technologies to work in the air, space or any other challenging environment demands innovation. It also demands people and equipment who can trial those technologies where they are meant to work. At Nova we have aircraft that, like flying laboratories, help our customers deliver that innovation; from a hovering helicopter to a jet plane high in the atmosphere. The arena of aerospace and defence test and evaluation is innovative by nature – you are evaluating and testing precisely because nobody has been there before.
European base
In 2012 when we wanted to bring Nova to Europe, the West of England was the obvious choice. It has rich aerospace heritage and talent, an eco-system of innovative businesses, ideal geography and world-class research institutions. When our customers want to develop a new airborne camera for search and rescue missions, within minutes of take-off they can be evaluating it in mountainous country, over open sea or dense urban cityscape. We can recruit from and partner with three outstanding aerospace engineering university departments. If we urgently need a prototype part to be made, a team at another innovative small company are a ten minute walk away.
From our headquarters in Filton, at the heart of the aerospace cluster, we now support nearly 100 people across six European offices and projects operating from the United States to the edge of the Arctic Circle and the Middle East. With electric flight, automation and many other digital technologies revolutionising the world of aerospace we are working today with the realities of the skies of tomorrow.
