What AVIC does

Beijing Zhonghang Kecdian Measurement and Control Technology Co., Ltd. (中航科电) is a Beijing-based private Chinese company founded in 2007 that designs and manufactures ruggedized computing systems, measurement and control technology, force sensors, wireless RFID products, and simulation equipment for aerospace, defense, and high-end industrial equipment applications. The company operates through four business divisions — measurement and control (测控事业部), ruggedized computing (加固机事业部), automation (自动化事业部), and intelligent manufacturing (智能制造事业部) — and is headquartered in Beijing's Changping District at Wenan Road Industrial Development Zone.

The firm holds registered capital of RMB 77,499,997 and has been listed on China's New Third Board (NEEQ) since October 2016. It has accumulated an extensive portfolio of government certifications and recognitions, including ISO9001-2001 quality management certification, National High-Tech Enterprise status, Zhongguancun High-Tech Enterprise designation, Beijing Municipal Enterprise Technology Center recognition, Beijing Gazelle Enterprise, Sea Sail Enterprise, and 2020 Beijing Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative Enterprise designation. In 2019 the company received recognition as an Advanced Support Unit for the 70th Anniversary National Day Military Parade, evidencing close relationships with People's Liberation Army procurement channels.

Revenue is generated primarily through direct sales targeting government defense agencies, aerospace companies, and industrial manufacturers within China, with the company operating a dedicated corporate website (bjzhkd.com) that doubles as an investor relations portal. The firm employs 100-499 staff according to job postings on its official site and has partnered with the Anhui provincial government since 2018 to establish a planned precision manufacturing industrial base for high-end equipment, signaling a geographic and capacity expansion beyond the Beijing headquarters. No pricing is publicly disclosed and contracts are negotiated on a direct, often bespoke basis with government and industrial counterparties.
