Pricing

As a disabled-veteran-owned business, Verde's owners had key roles in developing the first PCA unit qualified under Mil-Spec 810 capable of servicing fighter aircraft, and hold 10+ patents on PCA technology. A standard design architecture with redundancy keeps the unit operating even if one system fails, and controls are fully electronic.
