Althen Sensors & Controls has achieved JOSCAR (Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register) accreditation, confirming its status as a qualified supplier to the aerospace, defence, and security industries. This accreditation recognises companies that meet strict requirements for quality, compliance, and supply chain reliability, making it easier for major aerospace and defence organisations to identify trusted technology partners.
With decades of experience in precision sensor technology and measurement solutions, Althen supports demanding aerospace applications such as aircraft structural testing, actuator position monitoring, hydraulic pressure measurement, and engine test bench instrumentation. The JOSCAR accreditation further strengthens Althen’s position as a trusted partner for organisations developing and testing critical aerospace systems.
Maintaining high standards
JOSCAR is a collaborative supplier accreditation system used by leading aerospace and defence organisations to identify trusted suppliers that meet strict requirements for quality, compliance, operational capability, and supply chain transparency. The accreditation process includes an independent assessment of a company’s business practices, ensuring that suppliers meet the standards expected by major defence contractors and aerospace manufacturers.
By receiving JOSCAR accreditation, we demonstrate our commitment to delivering reliable measurement technology and maintaining high standards in quality management and supplier compliance.
Supporting critical aerospace and defence applications
The aerospace and defence sectors require highly accurate measurement technologies to ensure safety, performance, and reliability in demanding environments. JOSCAR is used by dozens of major aerospace, defence, and security organisations to manage supplier qualification. Instead of auditing suppliers individually, these companies rely on JOSCAR as a central compliance system.
Althen provides advanced sensor solutions that support a wide range of aerospace and defence applications, including:
- Structural load and stress testing of aircraft components using load cells and strain measurement systems
- Pressure monitoring in hydraulic and fuel systems with high-precision pressure sensors
- Position and displacement measurement for flight control systems and actuator testing
- Temperature monitoring in engines, environmental systems, and test facilities
- Vibration and acceleration measurement for structural health monitoring and fatigue testing
- Wind tunnel and aerospace test rig instrumentation
These measurement solutions are used during research and development, component testing, system validation, and operational monitoring, helping engineers ensure that critical systems perform safely under extreme conditions.
Strengthening our position as a trusted supplier
The JOSCAR accreditation reinforces Althen’s position as a reliable partner for companies operating in highly regulated industries where traceability, compliance, and quality assurance are essential.
For procurement teams in the aerospace and defence supply chain, JOSCAR simplifies the supplier qualification process by providing access to a register of pre-approved suppliers that have already undergone rigorous evaluation.
With decades of experience in sensor technology, signal conditioning, and measurement systems, Althen supports customers with both standard sensors and customised measurement solutions for demanding engineering applications.
Driving innovation in Aerospace measurement technology
From aircraft component testing to advanced research programs, aerospace engineers rely on precise measurement data to develop safer and more efficient systems. At Althen Sensors & Controls we work closely with engineering teams to deliver reliable sensor solutions, technical expertise, and responsive support throughout the development and testing process.
The JOSCAR accreditation further strengthens Althen’s ability to support customers in the aerospace, defence and security sectors with trusted measurement technology and engineering expertise.
