Keep production running without the cost of downtime and full test system replacement.
Replacing a test system is expensive, disruptive, and often unnecessary. ARC upgrades and retrofits commercial test systems to meet new requirements, extend production life, and add capability without locking you into a new platform or vendor ecosystem.
MODERNIZING COMPLEX PROGRAMS
New requirements don't always need new systems.
Production environments change. Product generations evolve. Test requirements expand. The instinct is to replace aging test infrastructure when it can no longer keep up, but full replacement carries real cost, schedule impact, and integration risk. In most cases, the existing system has more capability than it's being given credit for.
Sound familiar?
Aging test systems that no longer meet current production requirements
Obsolete hardware or software that creates maintenance and support gaps
Expanding test requirements that outpace existing system capability
Vendor lock-in that makes upgrades expensive and options limited
Engineered to extend what you have, not replace it.
ARC starts with your existing system and your new requirements, then engineers the most practical path to close the gap. That might mean hardware upgrades, software modernization, expanded I/O, new instrumentation, or a combination of these. The goal is a system that meets your current needs and can scale with your production demands, without having to start from scratch.
Arc Pillars
The right upgrade, not the convenient one.
Most test system vendors will upgrade your system to their current platform. ARC upgrades your system to what it actually needs, specifying hardware and software based on your production requirements rather than a preferred vendor relationship. That independence means better technical decisions and a system that isn't obsolete the next time a vendor discontinues a product line.
Arc Pillars
Trusted by manufacturers who needed more from their existing systems.
ARC has delivered custom test systems across defense, aerospace, and industrial programs — complex builds completed on schedule, vendor-agnostic solutions that outlast the programs that specified them, and engineering partnerships that extend well beyond initial delivery.
Extend your test capability without the capital expense or production disruption of starting over.
ARC engineers assess your existing test infrastructure and find the most practical path to meet your current requirements. Most systems have more life in them than you'd expect. For programs that need a broader approach, explore Modernization & Sustainment capabilities.
