About T35
An aerospace design bureau built on engineering discipline
Who we are
Part of the MK Group
T35 is a specialised aerospace design bureau and original equipment manufacturer, proudly part of the MK Group. Our engineering teams design, build, and integrate advanced optronic systems, real-time video processing platforms, and precision electromechanical components for aerial and land-based surveillance applications.
We work across the full engineering stack — mechanical design, electronics, optics, and software — to deliver systems that are rugged, reliable, and free of ITAR and BAFA export restrictions, enabling flexible integration for clients operating globally.
