Critical Controls for Tactical Systems
Marotta Controls has established a reputation for adding significant value to our customers as a strategic partner for the most critical defense applications. Our tactical control systems deliver precision and dependability when they’re needed most. In even the most challenging environments and demanding applications, our solutions can be counted on to provide the same high levels of performance. The core tactical control technologies we offer include:
- Control Actuation Systems: Delivering high-performance actuation for demanding situations
- Power Conversion: The most efficient power solutions for defense and aerospace applications
- Pressure Regulators: Precision control for various high-pressure systems
Our tactical controls can be found in a wide range of defense systems, including missiles, UAVs, torpedoes, avionics, and radar systems, among others.
We apply our extensive knowledge of pressure, motion, fluid, electronics and power controls to every weapon system that we design. Our legacy valves and electronics serve as the foundation for our high-performance systems and sub-systems including hypersonic control actuation and high-performance power conversion. We’re committed to providing the highest-quality tactical control systems available anywhere. This is accomplished due to our end-to-end in-house capabilities, which encompasses every stage from the initial design of the product through development and qualification to high volume manufacturing.

Control Actuation Systems
Designed for challenging naval environments, electromechanical actuation systems are capable of sustaining high angular velocity at high torsional load levels. All mechanical, electronic and software elements are fully integrated.
- Accurate fin position control: Ensures precision to maintain stability and maneuverability in challenging naval environments.
- High stiffness – low backlash: Provides reliable performance by minimizing mechanical play for greater accuracy at high loads.
- High bandwidth: Delivers better handling quality to ensure successful deployment.
Power Conversion
Award-winning, patented power supply and power conversion technologies are customized to meet the challenging requirements of commercial and military aircraft platforms.
- High power density: Provides the amount of power needed to keep mission-critical systems functioning as they should.
- Minimal size and weight: Contributes little to the overall mass of the system compared to other solutions.
- High efficiency: Utilizes power with maximum efficiency to keep consumption as low as possible.
Pressure Regulators
Pressure regulators provide versatile designs, in a compact package and are ideal for standard high pressure systems and for special applications such as flight attitude controls and fuel pressurization systems.
- Pressure balanced poppet: Cuts down on the effects of supply pressure on the outlet pressure and prevents lockup in critical situations.
- Narrow regulation band: Designed for maximum efficiency and performance across challenging use cases.
- Fail open: Automatically prevents excessive pressure buildup in the event of a blocked line or other equipment failure.
Our tactical controls and components are used in a vast number of critical applications throughout the defense industry. For our control actuation systems, these include:
- Tactical missiles
- Hypersonic vehicles
- Torpedoes
- UUV
