The Martron 12000 systems are capable of testing autopilot
computers, Air Data computers, Flight Data Acquisition Units, and numerous other
LRUs. The Martrons are equipped with an Air source, Arinc 429 transmitter/receiver,
DVM, Extended Switching, Counter Timer, and a Waveform Generator. These options allow us
to test the latest generation of analog and digital avionics. We are continuously
developing new TPSs to further improve our turn time. In order to simplify test
program maintenance and control, all our Martron 12000s are linked to a centrally
located software server.
Rapid advancements in testing requirements lead Aero
to purchase 5 IRIS 2000s. Primarily used for RF testing of navigation and communication
equipment, this platform continues to be indispensable. Equipped with options for
HF, Mode S, and ARINC 700 series units, the IRIS 2000s provide the high quality testing
capabilities our customers demand. Our latest IRIS 2000 is dedicated to testing Ground
Proximity Computers, Public address amplifiers, and Anti skid control boxes.
The proliferation and low cost of IBM compatibles
lead our engineering department to port the entire IRIS 2000 HP 300 Series system and
software over to an IBM platform running under the Windows 98 Operating System. Currently all the IRIS 2000's
are on IBM platforms and networked together resulting in ease on software distribution and
control.
Aero Instruments & Avionics, Inc. owns and
maintains 4 RADA Smart CATS systems capable of testing the latest in avionics
systems. Built to conform to ARINC 608A standards with available resources for
testing MD-80, 757, and 767 equipment, the RADA Smart CATS will be a powerful
testing platform well into the 21st century.
Aero further increased the versatility of it's ATE Department
by acquiring an ATEC 5000, a Rockwell-Collins ITS-700 system and a Boeing
ATS-182A system. These ATE's give Aero the ability to test numerous
Airbus A319, A320, and A321 Line Replaceable Units (LRU's) as well as expanding
our support of Boeing B737, B747, B757 and B767 LRU's.
