Revenue model

1. Rugged Embedded Computing Hardware Sales: Aitech generates revenue primarily through the sale of rugged embedded computing hardware including single-board computers (SBCs), GPGPU modules, Ethernet switches, I/O boards, enclosures, power supplies, and integrated systems for military, aerospace, and space applications. Products are sold as COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) or project-based custom solutions. The $63M HAL contract for avionics computing solutions demonstrates large-scale production hardware contracts.
2. Customization and Integration Services: Aitech provides customization, modification, and integration services for existing designs to meet specific customer requirements. This includes obsolescence management, BSP/driver development, and system integration for defense programs requiring tailored solutions.
3. Sustained Program Support and Sustainment: Long-term sustainment and manufacturing support for defense programs including the HAL Light Combat Helicopter program. The 5-6 year contract duration indicates ongoing revenue from spares, support, and continued production for military customers.
