TCOM enables a true system of systems approach to meet our customers’ objectives effectively and efficiently. With 50 years of operational experience, and working with the industry’s best strategic partners, TCOM provides its customers stand-alone lighter-than-air systems, enhanced sensor packages and upgraded command and control for their current systems, or a complete deployment with multiple platform types and communications networks.

Awareness Solutions

Every security mission requires a unique set of sensors integrated onto a TCOM lighter-than-air C5ISR design to form a platform system that will meet the customer’s persistent Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) mission. We work closely with the industry’s best strategic partners. 

At the heart of every TCOM Aerostat Surveillance system lies a proven design process that effectively blends customer needs and superior engineering to create a system that will meet all the customer’s functional requirements cost-effectively and reliably. 

Manufacturing Solutions

TCOM produces the most advanced, state-of-the-art, and reliable aerostat systems in the world.  This is accomplished by having the latest lighter-than-air C5ISR manufacturing technology, equipment, facilities, and tooling to bring our advanced designs to life. 

Our unrivaled experience and capabilities in manufacturing aerostat and airship flex structures, mooring stations, avionics, tethers, and ground support equipment, provides our customers with unparalleled capabilities to support diverse payloads for a myriad of mission requirements.  

Sustainment Solutions

TCOM’s proven approach to the latest lighter-than-air C5ISR lifecycle support for fielded systems is based on our expertise in anticipating each system’s needs, balancing availability with affordability, and assigning Headquarters and Field personnel familiar with the system. We work with the industry’s leaders in partnership to achieve mission outcomes. 

TCOM customers deserve the absolute best, especially as missions evolve and operating environments change. Whether it is training spare parts, or kits, field service support or operations management, or even lifecycle management, we do not cut corners.  TCOM focuses on being a full-service partner throughout the product lifecycle.

Multi-Domain Awareness SOLUTIONS

In this era of rapid technology development, maintaining security is an evolving mission with revolutionary threats to changing targets. TCOM Elevated Awareness Solutions are custom-tailored to meet our customer needs for today and tomorrow.

Critical Infrastructure and Force Protection

From oil and gas production at refineries and pipelines to power generation at Hydroelectric or nuclear facilities, infrastructure remains a key target of conventional aggressors and terrorist organizations. Therefore, protecting them is critical to national security.

Distant Warning & Awareness

While ballistic missile technology has not developed at the pace of most other technologies in the modern era, the number of threats that have long distant effects and their availability to a more significant number of military threats is growing. As a result, the ability to sense far beyond an active conflict is critical to national security.

Maritime and Border Security

The continuing rise of Narco-terrorist groups creates complex concerns at a nation’s land and water borders. In addition, their violent tactics often make a refugee exodus at home, resulting in undocumented migration that is often taken advantage of to streamline illicit imports. Thus, maintaining operational control of borders is critical to national security.
