Common Questions

OEM/ODM
FAQ

Minimum order quantities vary by platform and customization level. For white-label ODM projects based on existing platforms, MOQ typically starts at 10–20 units. For full OEM development projects, there is no unit MOQ — pricing is structured around NRE (Non-Recurring Engineering) fees plus unit production costs.

IP arrangements are negotiated on a project-by-project basis. For ODM projects using Star United Flight Control's existing platforms, Star United Flight Control retains core platform IP while the client owns all custom modifications and brand identity. For full OEM development projects, clients can negotiate full IP transfer or joint ownership arrangements.

Star United Flight Control operates under an ISO 9001-compliant quality management system and can support clients through MIL-STD-810 environmental qualification testing, export licensing processes, and international airworthiness certification. We provide full compliance documentation packages tailored to the client's target market requirements.

Timeline depends on the scope of customization. White-label ODM projects (rebranding existing platforms) can be completed in 4–8 weeks. Module-level customization typically requires 3–6 months. Full OEM development from concept to production-ready prototype typically requires 8–18 months depending on complexity.

Yes. Star United Flight Control provides comprehensive operator and maintenance training programs, technical documentation packages, spare parts supply agreements, and field support services. Long-term lifecycle support contracts are available to ensure sustained operational readiness of delivered systems.

Star United Flight Control serves qualified international clients including government defense agencies, law enforcement institutions, and authorized system integrators. All international transactions are conducted in full compliance with applicable export control regulations. Prospective clients are required to provide end-user documentation as part of the procurement process.
