Aerial Systems
When reflecting on his career in the United States Marine Corps , the CEO expresses a deep connection to Capewell ’ s equipment , having used the company ’ s products himself throughout his service . After he retired from the military , he transitioned to a leadership role at Capewell , driven by his commitment to develop solutions that enhance emergency survivability and benefit warfighters globally . Finally , he went from COO to CEO , and feels honored and privileged to lead the organization , viewing it as an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of military personnel . “ What we do best is
deliver reliability in the aerial delivery and survivability space – our equipment must work every time and our dedicated team of patriotic employees takes this mandate to heart as they produce each product . This requires a different level of attention to detail

AS9100 and ITAR Registered and focus from our employees to create highperformance , high quality , durable equipment that does not fail ,” Thomas emphasizes .
A recent project that demonstrates the quality of which Capewell is renowned involves work for several different defense ministries , centered around a requirement to drop large boats from new and existing military cargo aircraft - a tremendous opportunity , as Thomas elaborates . “ These are fairly large boats , some over ten meters in length , from new cargo aircraft that require next-generation equipment . We ’ ve developed a platform and the attaching mechanisms that will allow for safe air drop of the boat or boats out of the aircraft . Our engineers created a universal solution and now we ’ re in the process of bringing those solutions to fruition . We ’ ll have platforms ready to support opportunities in the spring of 2024 . It ’ s really cool stuff ; the boat is extracted from the aircraft with the assistance of the parachutes , separates from its platform , and falls under parachute onto the water . If it ’ s a staffed vessel , the troops that operate the boat will then jump out right behind the boat , land in the water and climb aboard , and then they are off to complete their mission . It ’ s incredible work !”

Although fulfilling these types of government opportunities is fantastic for the company , they don ’ t come without challenges , considering many of the perturbations impacting the manufacturing industry today , and Thomas notes that Capewell is not immune to these issues .
