Lightning Diversion Systems

Lightning Diversion Systems products are flying today on thousands of in-service aircraft including F-15J, F-16, F-18, F-22, C-130, P-8 and numerous Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Cessna, Gulfstream, Hawker, Lear Jet and Bombardier platforms as well as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A400M. Our products protect composite structures including nose Radomes and Antennas, and protect aircraft systems from current surges following a lightning event.In addition, our products are protecting wind turbines across the globe with more than 3,000 wind turbine blades fitted with our segmented diverter strips.

Four generations of diverter strips are currently available for the complete requirements of Aircraft, Rotorcraft and Wind Turbines. Lightning Diversion Systems was the Pioneer of Segmented Lightning Diverter Strips and has stayed at the forefront of development to meet the needs of the full range of frequencies at which today's antennas operate.

These compact and highly efficient, low voltage/high energy surge suppressors combine in one unit the low clamping voltage and high surge current capabilities needed to protect solid-state power and electronic systems from severe lightning-induced and other over-voltage surges. We have a number of designed, tested and proven products to operate at determined surge conditions, or we can work with our customers to design a suppressor particular to their specific application.The Low Voltage/High Energy Surge Suppressors combine in one unit the low clamping voltage and high surge current capabilities needed to protect solid state power and electronic systems from severe lightening-induced and other over-voltage surges.

Lightning Diversion Systems has developed thin aluminum or copper conformal shields. The shields were developed for use as an exterior surface for composite laminates. For graphite epoxy laminates, copper shields are nickel plated to ensure a compatible barrier between the graphite and the aluminum or copper.
