On March 12th, PBS GROUP proudly participated in the NATO Summit Defense Industry Pre-Event in The Hague, represented by Petra Nečasová. This impactful event convened government officials, international institutions, and industry leaders to address the evolving needs of the defense sector. A key highlight was the inspiring message from Dutch Minister of Defense Ruben Brekelmans: "Let’s focus on changing big words into big action" a call that resonates with our commitment to delivering results. The Pre-Event offered valuable opportunities to connect and exchange insights on driving innovation and collaboration in defense. For PBS GROUP, it reinforced our dedication to advancing aerospace and defense solutions, building on efforts like our F-35 component development with Lockheed Martin. We’re excited to carry this momentum forward to the NATO Summit Industry Forum in June, where we’ll continue contributing to a stronger, action-oriented defense industry.

At PBS GROUP, we know that reliability and performance are critical for UAV turbine engines. That’s why we’ve built our own state-of-the-art in-house testing facilities to ensure every engine meets the highest standards. Our team of over 50 experienced flight test engineers and technicians operates 16 specialized testing cells, conducting comprehensive tests not only for turbine engines but also for auxiliary power units and environmental control systems. Our testing capabilities include: - Thrust testing for turbojet engines up to 3,400 N - Flight speed simulations reaching 0.8 M - Air pressure tests up to 1,200 kPa - Temperature extremes from -60°C to 80°C - G-force, vibration, and impact tests - Complete Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP) and production testing This rigorous testing regimen simulates the toughest conditions our engines may encounter, guaranteeing top performance in the field. It’s also a cornerstone of our product lifetime support, ensuring our engines exceed customer expectations throughout their operational life—whether for defense, commercial, or research applications.
