• F-14A/B
• F/A-18C/D/E/F
• P-3C
• SH-60B & MH-60S
• CH-53E
• AH-1W & UH-1N
• V-22
• KC-130T
• VH-3D & VH-60N

Although they mention doing full-flight sims, most of their press releases in recent years are for building CPTs, modifying sims, providing hardware components under subcontract, and handling technical and administrative support for Navy simulators.

In my conversation with one of their engineers, I got the impression that they only have a couple of people working software and that hardware is their real strength. They seem to complement our strengths, and they might be helpful if we need a foot in the door at Pax River or in the world of Navy flight simulation.
