Engineering Confidence
in Aerospace & Defense
From ARP-4754, DO-178C, and DO-254 compliance to mission-critical software, cybersecurity,
and validation, we help you build certifiable, resilient systems ready for launch.
Powering the Future of Mission-Critical Innovation
In the Aerospace and Defense industry, systems must perform flawlessly in the harshest conditions, with zero tolerance for failure. Whether flying at 30,000 feet, navigating contested airspace, or executing autonomous missions, embedded systems must meet the most demanding reliability, safety, and cybersecurity standards in existence. These programs aren’t just complex, they’re regulated, highly scrutinized, and often life-critical.
LHP Engineering Solutions brings over two decades of experience helping aerospace OEMs, defense primes, and their suppliers navigate this high-stakes environment. Our certified engineering frameworks, toolchain expertise, and deep understanding of aerospace standards enable us to embed compliance into every phase of the program, from system architecture and model-based design to V&V, HIL/SIL, and certification.
Whether you're launching a next-gen avionics system, building a secure unmanned platform, or seeking to modernize your safety-critical toolchain, LHP is your partner in accelerating development while ensuring full compliance and mission assurance. This includes the rapidly advancing eVTOL market, where electrification, autonomy, and urban air mobility demand the same rigorous systems engineering and safety-first mindset.

AI & Analytics
We are fully invested in understanding our partner's current and future state goals and work tirelessly to deliver solutions that scale as our client’s requirements grow over time.
-
Industry 4.0: We believe in the Agile approach to IoT and analytics (specifically: Distributed Agile Development). When we combine our technology approach with processes, support, and expertise, along with our business domain and engineering knowledge, results follow.
-
Digital Twin: A digital twin is a digital representation of an intended or actual real-world physical product, system, or process that serves as the effectively indistinguishable digital counterpart of it for practical purposes, such as simulation, integration, testing, monitoring, and maintenance.
-
Data Operations: A more efficient data integration leads to better outcomes, and the value is obtained through the visualization of actionable insights from all the data sets already accessible inside the organization.
-
Digital Transformation: We offer tailored data management solutions that guide our clients' digital transformation. In today’s information-focused world, there is an influx of data available on everything from quality warranties to factory utilization. The challenge? Knowing how to leverage that data and turn it into actionable insight.
-
Advanced Analytics: Software-defined vehicles contain millions of lines of code. Data from new product testing (simulation to post-production), combined with robust analytics, has become a critical part of an organization’s engineering, tech, and operational infrastructure. Leveraging that data to its maximum advantage results in better decision-making and superior future development.
