The transaction aligns with Innovative’s continued expansion and its focus on U.S.-based engineering and manufacturing within the aerospace and defence industrial base.

Innovative Aerosystems has completed the acquisition of Moog’s Genesys Aerosystems S-TEC Model 3100 general aviation fixed-wing autopilot product line, advancing its capabilities in avionics and flight control systems across commercial, business and military aircraft segments.

The addition broadens the company’s integrated flight control offering and supports delivery of mission-ready solutions across both legacy fleets and next-generation platforms. The autopilot technology will be incorporated into Innovative Aerosystems’ portfolio to improve system integration, operational performance and lifecycle support.

“This acquisition represents another important step in our strategy to deliver fully integrated avionics and flight control solutions to the global aerospace market,” says Shahram Askarpour, chief executive officer of Innovative Aerosystems. “By adding this autopilot product line to our portfolio, we are expanding our flight control capabilities, strengthening long-term customer support and creating new opportunities for integration across current and future platforms.”

The company intends to maintain continuity of support for existing operators while investing in product enhancements, certification growth and integration with its broader avionics ecosystem, which includes advanced flight decks, autothrottle systems, mission computers and display technologies.
