Across every market we serve, our mission-critical control systems follow the same design philosophy: precision engineering, robust construction, and disciplined qualification processes. While implementation varies by industry, the commitment to quality and reliability remains constant. Below is an overview of several markets we support with embedded control systems. Many of our fluid and pressure control technologies are used across industries, with configurations tailored to specific mission requirements.
Aerospace
Flight-qualified control systems solutions include a variety of qualified power electronics, pneumatic systems and pressure controls for a diverse range of aerospace control applications on commercial and military aircraft.
Naval
Qualified shipboard components and subsystems meet the stringent naval control systems requirements for surface ships, submarines and deep submergence vessels.
Space
With more than 65 years of heritage in spaceflight control systems, we provide pressurization and flow control valves for critical applications on launch vehicles, satellites and manned space platforms.
Tactical
High-performance defense control system applications include control actuation systems, power electronics and pressure regulation for tactical platform controls and hypersonic vehicles.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are requirements defined for control systems in different markets?
Marotta determines requirements for our control solutions through close collaboration with customers and platform integrators. Our team focuses on operating pressures, available power, duty cycles, redundancy expectations, and environmental exposure when considering our system designs.
Are Marotta control systems customized or off-the-shelf?
Rather than starting from scratch on each project, we leverage our portfolio of proven and qualified product platforms to serve as the foundation for each system we develop. Using that technology as a starting point, we configure, adapt, or integrate it to meet application-specific requirements such as form factor, interfaces, operating environment, and control logic. The use of our pre-qualified designs reduces technical risk, cost, and development time while still supporting the unique needs of each mission.
How does environment influence application-driven control system design?
Environmental factors such as temperature extremes, shock, vibration, pressure ranges, corrosion exposure, and limited power availability are all considered every time we design and manufacture an electromechanical control system. These variables directly influence material selection, sealing approaches, actuator design, electronics packaging, and connector choices. We also use these considerations to drive redundancy strategies, fault tolerance, and monitoring capabilities. In many cases, environmental design decisions dictate architecture in control systems for harsh environments more than functional requirements.
