The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper is a medium-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle.

American Data Plates, Inc., established in 1995 and headquartered in Palmdale, California, is a premier manufacturer of precision identification solutions serving a wide range of critical industries, including aerospace, space, defense, automotive, transportation, marine, energy, medical, and related sectors.

With decades of specialized expertise, the company is committed to producing high-performance data plates, nameplates, placards, labels, and decals that meet rigorous regulatory, military, and industry specifications, including MIL-STD requirements, Department of Defense standards, and those applicable to spaceflight and satellite applications.

Key Capabilities:

  • Laser Part Marking Advanced laser engraving technology delivers permanent, high-precision markings on a variety of substrates, including heat-resistant aluminum and laserable plastics. This process ensures exceptional durability, contrast, and legibility in extreme operational environments, including vacuum, radiation, and temperature fluctuations encountered in aerospace and space applications.
  • Identification Plates Utilizing Photosensitive Aluminum Employing the Metalphoto® process (photosensitive anodized aluminum), identification plates offer superior resistance to abrasion, chemicals, extreme temperatures, UV exposure, radiation, and corrosion. These plates provide an extended service life of 20–50 years, making them ideal for long-term asset tracking, compliance labeling, and mission-critical applications in aerospace, satellites, launch vehicles, and space systems.
  • Placards, Labels, and Decals A diverse range of materials supports customized solutions tailored to demanding requirements:
    • Autotex and Autoflex polyester films for flexible, tactile, and environmentally robust overlays and labels.
    • Aluminum substrates for rugged, corrosion-resistant performance in high-reliability settings.
    • Laserable plastics for high-resolution, customizable markings. Production methods include screen printing, UV digital printing, and large-format capabilities to accommodate variable data, complex graphics, serialized information, and precise adhesion requirements suitable for space-grade and aerospace environments.
  • Barcoding, Unique Item Identification (UID), Barcode Verification, and Verification Reports American Data Plates offers comprehensive barcoding solutions, including:
    • 1D barcodes (e.g., Code 39, Code 128) for standard inventory and tracking applications.
    • 2D barcodes, such as Data Matrix, for UID compliance under MIL-STD-130 and other regulatory frameworks essential to defense, aerospace, and space programs. All barcodes undergo rigorous verification processes—supporting over 32 symbologies and a wide array of industry standards (e.g., ISO/IEC 15415 for 2D codes and ISO/IEC 15416 for 1D codes)—to ensure optimal contrast, readability, scannability, and compliance. This includes achieving required grades such as "B" or better per MIL-STD-130 for UID/Data Matrix markings. Upon verification, the company provides detailed barcode verification reports documenting the quality grades for key parameters (e.g., modulation, decodeability, symbol contrast, and overall grade), serving as certificates of compliance, supporting audit readiness, traceability, and customer acceptance requirements throughout the product lifecycle, even under harsh conditions.

Guided by a zero-tolerance rejection policy, continuous staff training, ISO 9001/AS9100-compliant quality systems, and investment in state-of-the-art technologies, American Data Plates, Inc. delivers tailored, reliable identification products that enhance safety, traceability, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency for clients across the aerospace and space industries.
