Solving Legacy Test Equipment Challenges in the Defense Industry

In the ever-evolving defense industry, maintaining and testing critical electronic and avionics systems is a constant challenge. As technology advances, legacy test equipment often becomes obsolete, creating significant hurdles in maintaining operational readiness. Manufacturers and military organizations must either find ways to support aging test platforms or invest in costly new systems.

Duotech Service's ARTES (Advanced Reconfigurable Test and Emulation System) provides a cutting-edge solution to these challenges, offering a scalable, future-proof approach to automated testing. This innovative system helps defense technology leaders worldwide improve production efficiency, increase margins, reduce program risks, and expand production throughput capacity—all while eliminating dependence on obsolete OEM test equipment.

The ARTES Advantage: A Versatile Automated Test Solution

Traditional test systems are often tied to specific platforms, requiring costly upgrades or replacements when new systems are introduced. ARTES solves this issue with its reconfigurable I/O and hot mock-up capabilities, allowing it to adapt to multiple generations of test equipment without requiring extensive redesigns.

Key benefits of ARTES include:

  • Reconfigurable I/O for digital, analog, RF, and switch matrix applications
  • Over 1,000 signal lines for maximum testing flexibility
  • Elimination of OEM dependence and mitigation of obsolescence issues
  • Scalability across electronic and avionics systems, reducing the need for multiple test platforms
  • Capability to develop test beds without schematics, eliminating the need for proprietary design data

Adaptability for Any System

One of the standout features of ARTES is its ability to rapidly adapt to new systems. Unlike traditional automated test equipment (ATE) that requires a unique setup for each platform, ARTES allows for simple reconfiguration—just change the cables, and you're ready to test a new system.

This modular approach reduces downtime, lowers costs, and improves operational efficiency by ensuring that test equipment remains relevant even as technology evolves. With crisp functionality across multiple generations of test platforms, ARTES ensures that defense organizations can future-proof their testing operations without investing in new infrastructure for every new project.

Why Choose ARTES? Why Choose ARTES?

The defense sector demands high-performance, reliable solutions that can operate in mission-critical environments. ARTES meets these requirements by providing:

✔ Flexibility – Adaptable for a wide range of test applications, reducing the need for redundant test equipment
✔ Scalability – Easily expands to accommodate new testing needs and system upgrades
✔ Efficiency – Reduces program risk and increases production throughput capacity
✔ Longevity – Eliminates reliance on aging OEM test systems, mitigating obsolescence concerns

Instead of designing a new test system for every platform, ARTES provides a single, reconfigurable solution that meets the needs of modern defense technology.
