Test Vendors Support MIL/Aero Upgrades

摘要

Military and aerospace applications can benefit from flexible, interoperable test systems that span the lifetimes of the systems they target yet can adapt as the systems under test themselves evolve. As the Department of Defense put it, "The flexibility required by the warfighter in modern conflict scenarios requires that the Services move toward the capability for interoperability among automatic test systems. Interoperability of ATS functions is needed within the Services and across the Services." Unfortunately, the DoD continued, "The closed architectures of most legacy DoD Automatic Test Systems prohibit interoperability." To meet the challenges involved in supporting, upgrading, and replacing legacy test systems, vendors are offering a variety of instruments.
