[edit] Suppliers
Because of stringent performance requirements, ATG has elected to extensively use light weight composite materials for the Javelin. In 2005, ATG has announced its partnership with Applied Composite Technology Aerospace (ACTA) headed by CEO Roland Christensen and VP Jason Christensen. ACTA, an aerospace composite part designer and manufacturer based in Gunnison, Utah, will be supplying the flying and control surfaces.
