“We’re very happy to have WestWind and its rich history supporting Army Aviation and DoD customers join the Strata-G family,” said Strata-G President / CEO Beth Whitaker. “With WestWind’s 20 years’ experience in the Huntsville and Redstone Arsenal, Alabama area, this acquisition allows Strata-G to build upon our rich history as a lead systems integrator providing design, engineering and hardware solutions and now adding a robust manufacturing, aviation integration and logistics expertise.”
Strata-G’s Huntsville, Alabama based facilities and operations include capabilities in project management, weapon system engineering solutions, R&D, additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, aircraft/platform modification, manufacturing and kitting, system documentation, and associated material purchasing.
