The ATS-3100 RTS offers a breakthrough
solution to test legacy and modern military tactical radios
Astronics Corporation (NASDAQ: ATRO), through its wholly-owned
subsidiary Astronics Test Systems (ATS), introduced its new
ATS-3100 Radio Test Set (RTS) – a revolutionary test platform that
ensures flawless military radio performance when failure to
communicate is not an option.
The ATS-3100 RTS enables users to test both legacy and modern
military tactical radios using a single platform. Astronics
integrated the most crucial features for radio test into the new
ATS-3100 RTS, giving users the capability to test both airborne and
ground legacy radios (e.g. SINCGARS) plus modern wideband waveforms
(e.g. 117G, ANW 2, TSM) from virtually any original equipment
manufacturer (OEM). The ATS-3100 RTS is the newest member of the
ATS-3100 PXI Integration Platform product family.
“Astronics Test Systems continues to find new ways to protect
lives by ensuring peak performance of mission-critical radios. I
congratulate our development team and am excited to see the
evolution of our ATS-3100 product line,” says Jim Mulato, President
of Astronics Test Systems. “We believe the adoption of the ATS-3100
RTS solution is a game-changer that will provide exceptional value
to our radio test customers. They’ll now be able to implement this
system quickly, and immediately realize the benefit of a single
test platform for legacy and next-gen radios from multiple
OEMs.”
The ATS-3100 RTS preserves investment in legacy equipment while
leaving significant capacity for the addition of new technology.
The new system offers a seamless transition from the legacy GRM-122
test set, providing a solution that is cost-effective, easy to
maintain, and further customizable to meet individual needs. As a
benchtop, software-defined platform, it serves as the perfect
complement to the Astronics CTS-6010 portable tester, released in
May of 2016.
“Our ATS-3100 RTS and CTS-6010 work together, enabling our
customers to leverage a common software framework and test
executive across both benchtop and portable testers,” notes Brian
Price, Executive Vice President of Astronics Test Systems. “This
synergy between our depot and field solutions gives our customers
reduced test development time, increased supportability of their
solutions, and faster turnaround to get critical radio equipment
back in circulation.”
About the ATS-3100 RTS
Designed for maintainability, the ATS-3100 RTS features rapid,
2-hour automated calibration, allowing users to significantly
reduce turnaround time and have test sets back up and running
quickly. Additionally, with easy access to the two primary
line-replaceable units (LRUs), mean time to repair (MTTR) reduces
from hours to minutes.
The ATS-3100 RTS tests advanced radio capabilities including
frequency hopping, bit error rate, error vector magnitude (EVM),
and sensitivity. Additional features include:
- Frequency range from 1 MHz to 6
GHz
- Wide modulation bandwidth up to 200
MHz
- Intuitive graphical user interface
(GUI) and test executive
- Compact, benchtop platform
- Two-hour automated calibration &
verification
- Reconfigurable and expandable
PXIe-based platform
Astronics Test Systems will display and demonstrate the new
ATS-3100 RTS at AUTOTESTCON in Schaumburg, Illinois, September
11-14, 2017. For complete product details, to view the solution
