AvL Technologies has acquired PathFinder Digital, a developer of advanced satellite communications technologies for defense, government and commercial customers.


PathFinder Digital brings experience in specialized intelligence, electronic warfare and mission system development, along with rapid prototyping, product ruggedization, qualification and field deployment. Its expertise includes enhancing proven commercial off-the-shelf technologies for U.S. Department of Defense use by adapting them to perform reliably in demanding military environments.


“PathFinder Digital brings valuable technical expertise and a proven ability to transform commercial technologies into reliable solutions for military use,” said David Bowne, CEO of AvL Technologies. “Together, our teams can accelerate product development and deliver technologies that address the evolving requirements of defense and government customers.”


The companies have a strong history of collaboration and complementary strengths. PathFinder Digital’s capabilities in communications engineering, specialized hardware development and product qualification build upon AvL’s expertise in antenna technology, advanced composites, precision manufacturing and production.


“AvL and PathFinder Digital share a practical, engineering-driven approach to solving complex customer challenges,” said Roger McGarrahan, Cofounder and CEO of PathFinder Digital. “Joining AvL gives our team access to additional engineering and manufacturing resources, helping us advance new technologies efficiently from initial concept to production.”
