Special Projects
Approximately half of CAL-AV's effort is applied to
special projects; that is, design, development, and/or fabrication of electronics to fill
a client's needs. Our resources include associates that are at the top of their respective
fields.
Our clients enjoy the benefits of depth and breadth in
engineering knowledge, supported by many years of experience. Because of that experience,
the costs of many small volume developments, even one-off projects, can often be less than
one might expect.
More and more, because of staff reduction, or a company's
desire to stay focused on its core area of expertise, many of our clients are finding that
it makes sense to move certain projects out of house and into organizations such as ours.
CAL-AV's clients and customers are the major research labs and operational users from
government, industry, and universities throughout the U.S.
The scope of our capabilities may best be appreciated by
