Test System Ensures Flawless Performance of Military RF Devices

Communication on the battlefield is a life-or-death matter. You can't take chances with RF devices or power units malfunctioning or failing. A soldier's life may depend on how well you designed and tested your product. Will it function in temperature extremes, after physical shocks, and with low battery power? Where will it break or fail, and why? How can that be prevented?

A large military equipment supplier contacted Averna (Montreal, QE, Canada) to design a ground-up approach to top-level assembly (TLA) and circuit-card assembly (CCA) testing - from pre-functional and functional through environmental, electromagnetic, and repair - to ensure their mission-critical devices would test to specifications and not fail in the field. Averna's client designs and delivers military electronics products for use in aircraft, tanks, personnel carriers, and ships.
