generation technology. (Photo: Business Wire)
The ATS-3100 VRS is the fifth-generation of radio test solutions
from Astronics, now capable of testing emerging software-defined
radio (SDR) waveforms, modern multi-band radios and legacy radios
(e.g. SINCGARS) from any original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
Leveraging the PXI Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) from National
Instruments (NI), the platform delivers the fastest test times and
widest bandwidth (up to 1GHz) in a radio test solution, enabling
high throughput, reduced mean time to repair (MTTR) and maximum
uptime of critical radios in the field.
“As radio technology continues to evolve, we are dedicated to
providing our customers with support for their most critical assets
in the field, from legacy radios to future waveforms,” commented
Jim Mulato, President of Astronics Test Systems. “We’re excited to
partner with NI on this next-gen solution to deliver superior
performance, wider instantaneous bandwidth, and user-programmable
capability to our customers that include the military, police,
firefighters and other first responders, as well as commercial
pilots.”
“By combining Astronics’ deep industry knowledge and test
program set (TPS) development expertise with NI’s instrumentation
platform and technology, our partnership is accelerating the
deployment of advanced tactical radio technologies to deliver the
future of radio test now,” said Christer Ljungdahl, Principal
Strategist, Aerospace and Defense at NI.
Built on the ATS-3100 PXI Integration Platform, the ATS-3100 VRS
joins Astronics’ radio test family that includes the ATS-3100 RTS
and the portable CTS-6010. These share a common software framework
and test executive, delivering synergy from depot to field in a
holistic solution. The modular architecture of the platform
facilitates an upgrade path for future technology insertions,
extending the life of the platform and allowing flexibility as
maintenance needs change.
Military & Aerospace Electronics Magazine recently
recognized the ATS-3100 VRS with an Innovators Award. Receiving
gold level honors this year, this is Astronics’ third Innovators
Award from the publication, where the ATS-6100 Wire Fault Tester
(WFT) and the CTS-6010 Tactical Radio Test Set both received
platinum honors in 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Astronics will display and demonstrate the new ATS-3100 VRS at
the DoD Maintenance and Logistics Exhibition in Spokane,
Washington, December 9-11, 2019. For complete product details, to
