DE&S Deca, formerly the Defence Electronics and Components Agency (DECA) from 2015–2023, is an operating centre within Defence Equipment & Support and sponsored by the UK Ministry of Defence. It was formed in April 2015 from the air division of the Defence Support Group, which was retained when the rest of the group was sold to Babcock International. [1]
Deca provides maintenance, repair, overhaul, upgrade and obsolescence management for a diverse range of avionic and electronic equipment. It is a global repair hub for maintenance, repair, overhaul and upgrade services for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II aircraft avionic and aircraft components. [2]
DE&S Deca is predominantly based at MOD Sealand in Deeside, Flintshire. It also has a presence in MOD Stafford.
