PRESCOTT, Ariz. CP Technologies announced it has teamed with General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. to design and manufacture the Portable Aircraft Control Station (PACS) for the U.S. Air Force.
According to the company, the PACS is a rugged, compact system capable of performing all direct connect aircraft pre- and post-flight operations and engine functions.
