Your next aerospace operations challenge might not make headline news, but it can still feel like a crisis. A sudden supply chain disruption, a failed inspection, or an unexpected compliance audit can halt production without warning. These problems are no longer rare interruptions; they are part of today’s operating reality, made more complex by global supply networks, specialized components, and just-in-time manufacturing. Traditional consulting teams often arrive with large, slow, and process-heavy models that cannot keep pace with the speed and precision modern operations demand. Companies instead require a lean, on-the-ground approach led by experts who respond quickly, confront the issue directly, and restore operations without unnecessary overhead. Third Party International (TPI) delivers this approach. Drawing on deep experience in aerospace, automotive, and medical industries, the firm deploys consultants who specialize in supplier surveillance, quality management, and operational problem-solving. Acting as an on-site liaison between clients and their suppliers, TPI resolves critical supply chain issues with speed, precision, and clear communication. Its model is cost-efficient because it relies on hourly consultants and local experts, which reduces travel costs, shortens response times, and avoids the burden of large consulting teams.

Warfare is evolving from boots on the ground to bytes in the cloud. Data has become the fuel of modern military operations. Centralized command-and-control systems now act as digital war rooms, integrating sensor inputs, satellite imagery and battlefield intelligence to deliver real-time insights and orchestrate precision maneuvers across land, sea, air and cyber domains. Yet this very strength brings a critical weakness. Centralized systems can become single points of failure, tempting targets for adversaries determined to disrupt operations. GALT Aerospace was founded to help solve this vulnerability. GALT specializes in warfighter-focused solutions for military aviation and airborne systems, strengthening capabilities through resilient communication architectures, seamless network integration and rapid technology deployment. Rather than relying on central hubs, GALT decentralizes command and control, pushing decision-making closer to the edge. This enables faster responses in dynamic combat environments and keeps operations running even if central command is compromised. “Modern warfare requires agility and resilience at every node,” says John Kohut, CEO. “GALT Aerospace is contributing to distributed C2 capabilities through increased tactical network interoperability and advanced “sensor-to-weapon” technologies that increase operational tempo and eliminate single points of failure.” First, GALT has addressed critical weaknesses in traditional stovepipe military networks built around specific platforms that don’t share data across domains. GALT’s airborne gateway systems integrate radios and networks to create an interoperable foundation for distributed operations. These airborne nodes translate and route data across tactical targeting networks, common data links and legacy systems, creating a smooth, decentralized flow of information. Warfighters gain shared situational awareness and make faster decisions without routing everything through central command. In contested environments, this keeps forces connected when adversaries target central nodes. GALT demonstrated airborne gateway functionality under fused integrated naval network (FINN). This rapid technology demonstration program tests new connectivity technologies in operationally relevant airborne environments on a four-to-six-month cycle. After building tremendous credibility in airborne networking, GALT faced off against major defense contractors to win the Marine Corps Skytower II airborne network extension (ANE) program under Marine UAS Expeditionary (MUX) Medium Altitude Long Range (MALE). GALT’s agile yet disciplined engineering and integration have rapidly moved SkyTower II from development to flight test and production. It is anticipated that variants of SkyTower II will support the Joint Services and Coalition partners soon.
