Simulation Built for the Field. Not the Demo Room.

High-fidelity simulation equipment built for operational readiness – not just the test bench.

Military flight training doesn’t happen in a controlled environment. It happens under pressure, with legacy aircraft platforms, integration constraints that weren’t in the original spec, and zero tolerance for downtime. The simulation systems that support that training can’t be generic – as simulation is an indispensable capability for military readiness and building mission critical confidence. As platforms modernize and threats evolve, training systems must keep pace or the gap between the simulator and the cockpit becomes a liability.

Simulator Product Solutions LLC (SPS) exists to solve the hard version of that problem. We bring the operational understanding and engineering depth to designing, integrating, testing, and validating simulation equipment for the real environments where our customers operate – not just the demo room.

Our mission is making sure U.S. and allied militaries are equipped to address rapidly emerging global threats and evolving security challenges.

What Sets Us Apart

Integration-First. Validated in the Field. Built on Two Decades, and Intentionally Rebuilt for the Next.

Most simulation vendors lead with features. We lead with integration.

Here is where SPS is today versus where we’ve been. Since our acquisition by Orbit International Corp. in 2022 and our rebranding from Panel Products Inc., we’ve made deliberate investments in engineering depth, facility capabilities, vertical integration, and the talent to back it up. The changes you may have noticed over the past few years aren’t accidental. They reflect a clear decision about the kind of company we want to be and the standard we intend to hold ourselves to.

For customers who’ve been with us through that evolution, we thank you. For those who haven’t worked with us in a while or never before, we’d genuinely welcome the opportunity to show you what’s changed and who we are.

The foundation has never changed: over two decades of experience supporting U.S. and allied militaries, prime contractors, and systems integrators. What has changed is everything behind it: the engineering team, the facilities, the vertical integration, and the manufacturing depth to deliver on what we promise.

The result is simulation equipment that performs on Day 1 of field use, because for the pilot depending on that training, there is no Day 2 to get it right.

Engineering Spotlight

From the Bench to the Field: How We Solve Integration Problems

At SPS, integration doesn’t end at the test bench – it begins there. We design with deployment in mind, validating electrical behavior, firmware timing, mechanical fit, and operator workflow as one system. Every build passes through structured verification, stress testing, and specification validation before it ever reaches a customer platform.

When issues emerge, we trace them across domains: power, signal integrity, grounding, software, and human interface until root cause is proven, not assumed. The result is increased system availability, optimized maintenance cycles, and designs that maintain high-fidelity performance despite vibration, EMI, and thermal stress.

Our process turns prototypes into mission-ready systems by closing the loop between engineering, test, manufacturing, and feedback from operational environments.

Q1: When the OEM Can’t Help You Anymore

Defense simulation training programs run for decades. The aircraft platforms they support get upgraded, extended, and modified long past the platform’s original design life. The result is an ongoing need to either upgrade the simulator components to match the latest avionics upgrades, or replace bezels, panels, multi-function displays, and control assemblies that are worn, damaged, or obsolete – with no straightforward path to replacement.

SPS was built to solve exactly that.

Our 20+ years of experience and repair and refurbishment capabilities cover a wide range of bezels, multi-function displays, and panels, regardless of the original equipment manufacturer. If a competitor built it, or the original OEM no longer supports it, or it came off a platform that’s been out of production for several years, SPS can evaluate it and make suggestions as to how to repair the part – with no charge for the estimate or initial consultation.

When a component is beyond repair, SPS can manufacture a reproduction of the original, exact in form, fit, and function. No redesign, no interface changes. Just a replacement that drops into your simulator and works once powered on.

For programs managing aging simulator fleets on constrained budgets, this is the capability that keeps training systems operational without the cost of full replacement. Reach out to info@simulatorps.com to discuss your specific requirements.

Products in the Field

From Display Panels to Control Assemblies: Built to Spec

In the past year, SPS has delivered and supported critical simulation subsystems now operating in active training and test environments. These products are built for high duty cycles, wide thermal ranges, and long service life – as well as the highest possible fidelity. SPS has also introduced refined designs with improved power integrity, enhanced diagnostics, and stricter manufacturing controls, reducing field issues and increasing maintainability.

Contract Highlight

Proof of Performance

SPS opened Q1 with two major contract awards that underscore our position as a premier supplier to prime contractors and large system integrators. We’re particularly proud to have been selected to support the Department of the Navy through one of our customers with two new-build simulators – a project that highlights our core strength: delivering end-to-end, integrated solutions where others only provide parts.

The second is a foreign military sales win: SPS beat out multiple competitors to support a critical U.S. ally in upgrading their F-16 simulators to the Block 70/72 avionics suite – the most advanced F-16 configuration flying today.

When the U.S. and allied militaries need their simulators to keep pace with next-generation platform upgrades, they’re calling SPS.

The Companies That Rely on SPS

SPS has built lasting relationships with the U.S. and allied militaries, prime contractors, and systems integrators across more than two decades. These are some of the organizations that trust SPS to deliver.

Strategic Partner Spotlight

Lt. Col. (USAF, Ret.) Jason O. Harris – Chairman, SPS Advisory Board

SPS’s work increasingly includes participation in both direct domestic and foreign military sales and in complex teaming programs that require more than engineering excellence. They require understanding how operators actually train, what commanders need from their simulation programs, and how to build the relationships that determine whether the right solution wins the contract.

Lt. Col. (Ret.) Jason O. Harris brings that perspective to SPS as Chairman of the Advisory Board. An Air Force Academy graduate with nearly 30 years of military service, platform-qualified flight experience, and a track record of building high-performance “no fail trust” organizations, Jason directly supports our domestic and foreign military sales strategy, contributes platform-specific operationally qualified SME insight to engineering decisions, and helps act as liaison for SPS with the military and industry stakeholders that matter to program success.

Organizations looking for keynote or leadership coaching engagements may reach Jason through SPS. Contact info@simulatorps.com and we’ll make the introduction.
