Achieving JOSCAR accreditation supporting aerospace and defence control systems

News article

Althen Controls is proud to announce that it has achieved JOSCAR (Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register) accreditation, confirming its qualification as a trusted supplier to the aerospace, defence, and security sectors.

Maintaining high standards

JOSCAR is a recognised supplier accreditation system used by leading aerospace and defence organisations to identify companies that meet strict requirements for quality management, compliance, and supply chain reliability. The accreditation process independently verifies a supplier’s operational capability and business practices, helping major contractors select qualified and trusted partners within their supply chains.

By obtaining JOSCAR accreditation, Althen Controls strengthens its position as a reliable provider of control interfaces and position sensing technologies for demanding engineering environments.

Control and position technologies for aerospace and defence

Modern aerospace and defence systems rely on reliable human-machine interfaces and position feedback technologies to ensure safe and precise operation. Althen Controls supplies a range of components used in specialised equipment and control systems, including:

  • Joystick controllers for defence vehicles, ground control stations, and specialised operator interfaces
  • Potentiometers for position feedback in mechanical and electromechanical control systems
  • Displacement sensors for monitoring motion and actuator position in aerospace equipment
  • Precision position sensors for industrial control systems used in testing and maintenance environments

These technologies help engineers achieve accurate control, reliable system feedback, and consistent operation in critical aerospace and defence applications.

Supporting engineers and system integrators

In highly regulated industries such as aerospace and defence, supplier reliability and compliance are essential. The JOSCAR accreditation simplifies the supplier qualification process for procurement teams by providing access to a database of verified suppliers that meet industry requirements.

Through its expertise in control interfaces and position sensing technologies, Althen Controls supports engineers, system integrators, and equipment manufacturers developing advanced aerospace and defence systems.

Strengthening our role in aerospace and defence supply chains

The JOSCAR accreditation reinforces Althen’s commitment to providing high-quality components and reliable technical support for customers operating in demanding environments.

By meeting the requirements of the JOSCAR accreditation system, Althen Controls further strengthens its ability to support organisations working in aerospace, defence, and security sectors with dependable control and position sensing solutions.
