ZDEN

ZDEN Technologies LLC is a military aircraft systems integrator with deep experience supporting U.S. Air Force bombers. The company designs and manufactures aircraft upgrades to address short-term operational needs, using Modular Open Systems Approaches to deliver capabilities quickly. Its work spans mission computing, integrated systems, strategic airborne platforms, armament systems, cybersecurity, and manufacturing.

A featured product is Floodgate®, a modular avionics firewall that connects modern systems with legacy aircraft through controlled interfaces, without modifying certified aircraft configurations. It separates legacy avionics from Open Mission Systems architectures and converts proprietary data into OMS-compliant formats. Floodgate supports DDS and MIL-STD-1553, bridges MIL-STD-1553 and Ethernet networks, and provides Layer 2 and Layer 3 VLAN segmentation. ZDEN reports that the system has been demonstrated in multiple U.S. Air Force aircraft software integration laboratories.

The company’s headquarters and primary engineering facility are in Midwest City, Oklahoma, near Tinker Air Force Base. It also operates a manufacturing facility in Ada, Oklahoma, for aircraft modification kit development.
