About Us
Founded in 1986, Invocon has become a leader in research and development for the aerospace and military community. Invocon's core activities revolve around research and development of precision instrumentation and communication solutions for demanding applications in extreme environments. Based in Conroe, Texas, 30 miles north of Houston, Invocon seeks to serve government entities, major corporations, and professional R&D management companies. We accomplish this by producing technologically advanced designs, fabricating prototypes, and manufacturing the resulting production systems.
Invocon intends to become a premier supplier of ideas and system designs to solve tomorrow’s problems in the acquisition, communication, processing, and presentation of spatially distributed data.

- Flight termination systems
Competitive strength has been our key to growth in an R&D environment. We maintain a strong technical competitive posture by employing innovative engineering talent and providing an environment of ever-increasing challenge and reward in which to work. Our financial competitiveness has been maintained by careful management of overhead structure resulting in favorable pricing to our customers.
Our
staff consists of professional electrical, computer, and software engineers who
are responsible for all activities on any specific job and are allowed to follow
a development project from inception to completion. We also team with university
research groups and other R&D companies to solve basic research problems and to
bring the ideas from the laboratory to the marketplace. While occasionally
utilizing subcontractors and consultants, it is primarily the skills and
creativity of our in-house engineers that successfully transforms ideas into
working products.
Invocon
continues to pursue systems R&D contracts from industry and government. When the
resulting products can be sold into slow growth, low volume markets, we retain
control of the manufacturing and support of those products. When the products to
be developed are consumer-oriented and have very short market windows, we team
with commercial partners already established in that market arena.
