Aerospace test systems built for the precision your programs demand.
From avionics validation to FAA radar systems and defense aerospace programs, ARC designs, builds, and sustains aerospace test systems that perform to specification and hold up across the full program lifecycle. ISO 9001 certified and CMMC Level 2 assessed by a C3PAO, with the engineering depth to support complex, compliance-driven programs.
MODERNIZING COMPLEX PROGRAMS
The engineering depth to handle what your program demands.
Aerospace test programs operate under layers of compliance requirements, long program lifecycles, and hardware that has to perform in environments with zero tolerance for failure. The wrong test system or the wrong partner creates schedule risk, cost overruns, and program exposure that are hard to recover from.
ARC engineers test systems and support hardware across the full range of aerospace test environments. When a program calls for something specific, we know what that means and how to build it.
| RF Interface Units (RFIUs) | Design and fabrication across K, Ka, and Ku bands, with frequency support for up to 110 GHz drawn from our data center RF engineering work, for high-channel-count configurations for complex RF environments |
| Interface Test Adapters (ITAs) | Custom design and build, engineered to your test platform and validated to your hardware |
| Mechanical Test Systems | Design and build of test systems and fixtures for heavy mechanical requirements, including actuator testers, flap motor testers, electric motor test, torque assemblies, and hydraulic systems |
| CCA Design | Circuit card assembly design for test support hardware, designed to spec and built in-house |
| ESS Testers | Environmental stress screening test system design and integration |
| Development on Existing Standard Test Platforms | Capability additions, upgrades, and sustainment for programs running on existing ATE platforms |
| Electronic Warfare Test Support | Test system design and integration for EW applications, including signal generation, simulation, and measurement |
| Radar Systems | Test system design and sustainment of radar programs, including reverse engineering of legacy and undocumented hardware |
Technical experience to solve any program challenge.

MODERNIZING COMPLEX PROGRAMS
Delivering results for aerospace programs.
In one application, an aerospace manufacturer reduced a 10-hour engine joint fastening process to under 2 hours using an ARC automated torque solution — a 90% reduction in process time. That kind of outcome is the result of engineering that understands not just the requirement, but the production environment it has to work in.
Arc Pillars
Our Solutions
Why aerospace programs
choose ARC.
Time to Market
Test system delivery that keeps pace with vehicle program timelines, whether you're sustaining a long-running line or launching something new.
Technical Depth
Electrical, mechanical, software, and RF engineering under one roof, with in-house contract manufacturing, so design and build stay under one team instead of splitting across vendors.
Supply Chain Management
We manage component sourcing and obsolescence so schedule risk doesn't slow your infrastructure rollout.
Design & Build Skills
From first article to full-scale deployment, ARC designs and builds in-house, with the flexibility to support both new architectures and existing infrastructure.
Flexibility
Whether your program needs a turnkey system, a single subassembly upgrade, or sustainment support on hardware with no documentation, we scope to what you actually need.
Dedicated Program Management
A single point of contact who knows your program, tracks risk, and communicates proactively — not just at milestones.
Robust
Quality ISO 9001 certified quality processes on every engagement, with the reliable test data your quality and throughput requirements depend on.
Strategic Partners
We work side-by-side with partners like NI and Keysight, tapping their equipment and top engineering talent to solve even the toughest test and RF challenges.
Trusted by aerospace and defense programs that demand consistency.
ARC has supported aerospace programs across some of the industry's leading contractors. Complex test systems delivered on schedule, technology refreshes that kept programs running, and engineering partnerships that extend well beyond initial delivery.
The right engineering partner
reduces program risk before it starts.
ARC brings the technical depth and program discipline to deliver on schedule and support your systems long after initial build. Let's talk about what you're working on.
