Extended Product and Service Offer

Over the last five years, EADS TEST & SERVICES has been conducting an aggressive strategy to extend their range of test systems and services.

Development and production phases

In the development and production phases this translates into new integration benches and new production test systems specially designed for Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), plus the accompanying test engineering services.

Maintenance phase

EADS TEST & SERVICES already has a strong reputation and proven track record in maintenance testing. In addition to on-site maintenance and operations related activities, they now propose services that extend system life by forecasting and dealing with obsolescence.

Compatibility Across the Entire Range

The EADS TEST & SERVICES product range has been extended, while maintaining compatibility between the various test systems. Re-using test programme elements at the development, production and maintenance phases reduces programming times and yields optimum return on investment. Furthermore, the tester software environment remains the same at all stages. These advantages make EADS TEST & SERVICES test solutions quite unique on today’s market.

Open System Software

Another feature specific to EADS TEST & SERVICES test systems is their open software architecture. This enables seamless integration of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) programmes and re-use of all or part of the test programmes already developed with other software.

This generates savings in porting test programmes originally developed by Equipment and System Manufacturers using proprietary test systems that have become obsolete.

Multi-Purpose and Interoperable Test Solutions

The sheer versatility of EADS TEST & SERVICES systems means they can test a multitude of equipment and systems. Thus, the same airline can use a single model test bench for maintaining both its Airbus and Boeing fleets, while the French Army uses the same test system for numerous weapon systems.

Beyond this technical versatility, EADS TEST & SERVICES testers offer interoperability between different armed forces: for example, the SESAR 3000 in service with the French Army is interoperable with its German version, RACE, intended for the German market. It can test the same equipment and generate precisely the same results.

Supporting European Military Programmes

Because of their interoperability, EADS TEST & SERVICES testers are particularly well adapted to current and future European military programmes, such as the NH90 helicopter, the ASTER missile or the A400M transport aircraft.

EADS TEST & SERVICES testers are the ideal test solution for significantly reducing development investment by sharing the costs among the different countries involved.

General Purpose Electro-Optic Test Benches

Electro-optic equipment units integrated into civil and military systems are increasing and are getting more and more sophisticated. To back up this trend, EADS TEST & SERVICES proposes to System and Equipment Manufacturers and End Users the means to ensure the development, production and long term support of their electro-optic systems and equipment.

By achieving an industry-wide reputation in the electro-optic testing field, particularly with their test benches, EADS TEST & SERVICES is capable of offering multi-purpose, high performing and durable test solutions available for all kinds of environments (workshop, shelter or aircraft carrier).

The Company's electro-optic test benches cover all test and adjustment requirements of existing and future equipment integrating such technology. These have been selected to support electro-optic weapon systems of the French and German armed forces including the Rafale, Leclerc tank, Tiger helicopter, VABOBS armoured carrier, MIRABEL thermal sight and SOPHIE thermal binoculars/video camera.
