What G7 Aerospace Sdn. Bhd. does

G7 Aerospace Sdn. Bhd. is a Malaysian privately-held aerospace and defense solutions provider founded in 2010, headquartered in Serenia City, Sepang. The company delivers MRO, design and engineering, unmanned aerial systems, non-destructive testing, AGSE design and fabrication, AI-enabled automation software, and contract support services to the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF), Royal Malaysian Army Aviation (PUTD), Royal Malaysian Navy (TLDM), and the Malaysian Ministry of Defence. Its core technical capabilities span avionics MRO for legacy fleets (Hawk, F/A-18D, C-130, PC-7 Mk II, A109), depot-level component recovery, CAAM-certified NDT, AS9100:D / ISO 9000:2015 certified AGSE manufacturing, and indigenous UAV development (200 kg Tactical UAV and 8 kg VTOL UAV). Notable proprietary technology includes a Cockpit Integration Bench and PC-7 Mk II Digital Cockpit System co-developed with ASELSAN, the G7 Astrum intelligent-agent AI platform (RAG, semantic search, real-time analytics), EyeDrone computer-vision software, and the STEMS equipment management system; locally designed AGSE is registered in the NATO product catalogue by the Malaysian Armed Forces Cataloguing Agency.

The business model is anchored in government defense procurement. G7 wins work through Direct Procurement Agreements (DPA), MINDEF open tenders, and Industrial Collaboration Programs (ICP) tied to major foreign defense procurements such as Turkish Aerospace's ANKA UAS delivery to RMAF. Revenue streams include long-term MRO service contracts (F/A-18D LPM12Y, C-130 AUP, A109 PUTD), one-time R&D contracts (RM13M+ UAV development with STRIDE), AGSE hardware sales, distribution of Stahlwille tools and Dolphitech NDT equipment, calibration services, and training/consulting (TVET, PROTEGE, ICP management). Distribution is entirely direct-to-government across five nationwide facilities co-located with major military operating bases, with a nascent regional channel being explored through Turkish Aerospace for global ANKA GSE supply.

G7's competitive position is built on regulatory certifications (CAAM AMO, DGTA AEO, AS9100:D, CAAM NDT, SAMM 993), exclusive local-partner status with Turkish Aerospace and ASELSAN, a leadership team of retired senior RMAF officers including the former SVP of MIGHT who pioneered Malaysia's ICP framework, and embedded positions across multi-decade defense programs. The company has grown from a five-person DPA agent in 2010 to a multi-branch national aerospace provider with 11–50 employees, and has publicly targeted a RM1.5 billion+ avionics upgrade pipeline and 150+ high-income engineering jobs over the next decade in alignment with the Malaysian Aerospace Industry Blueprint 2030.
