Facilities Protection
National Technical Systems (NTS)
Airworthiness authorities require that aircraft be protected and certified against the effects of lightning, but few such regulations exist for sensitive facilities on the ground. If it is possible to protect an aircraft that is highly dependent on electronics from a direct lightning strike, it is certainly possible to protect important ground-based facilities. For this purpose, professionals must re-evaluate and update lightning protection methods for advanced facilities. NTS and Lightning Technologies have been in the forefront of this technology for more than 20 years.
