Quatro Composites, a leader in design and manufacturing of advanced composite structures, has become a technology partner in developing and manufacturing composite components for Insitu's next generation unmanned aircraft system (UAS).

"The Technical Development Center, located in Poway, CA, is providing valuable input to Insitu's engineering team, working with them to design their parts for composite fabrication on the next generation UAS due to release in second quarter of 2009," said Karash Turpin, Vice President of Quatro's Engineering Operations. "Insitu was able to take advantage of our specially designed and fabricated assembly and alignment tools, as well as our extensive experience and proprietary out-of-autoclave manufacturing processes."
