Astronics Test Systems Honored with Military & Aerospace Electronics’ 2018 Platinum Innovators Award
The award winning new product, the ATS-6100 Wire Fault Tester, will be featured at the Defense Maintenance and Logistics Exhibition
EAST AURORA, NY, December 17, 2018 – Astronics Corporation (Nasdaq: ATRO), a leading provider of advanced technologies for the global aerospace, defense, and semiconductor industries, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Astronics Test Systems received an Innovators Award for its ATS-6100 WFT (Wire Fault Tester) from Military & Aerospace Electronics Magazine. The judging panel consisted of a group of senior, expert professionals in the field of military & aerospace technology.
The ATS-6100 WFT detects and locates hard and soft faults in wiring and insulation in high-reliability equipment.
Introduced in September 2018, the ATS-6100 WFT received platinum level honors in the test equipment category. Combining patented low energy, high voltage (LEHV) and spread spectrum time domain reflectometer (SSTDR) technologies, it safely and precisely locates both hard and soft faults in wiring and insulation. The Windows-based tablet platform helps prevent catastrophic failure and unnecessary replacement of aging equipment for both military and commercial applications.
This is Astronics’ second Platinum Innovators Award from Military & Aerospace Electronics; the CTS-6010 Tactical Radio Test Set received a 2017 award.
“We’re honored to be recognized for the second year in a row with a Platinum Innovators Award from Military & Aerospace Electronics,” commented Brian Price, Executive Vice President of Astronics Test Systems. “I congratulate our team on another phenomenal product as we continue to protect lives through optimal performance of mission-critical equipment.”
Alan Bergstein, publisher of Military & Aerospace Electronics said, “This prestigious program allows Military & Aerospace Electronics to celebrate and recognize the most innovative products and services in the military electronics industry.
