Astronics Launches the Next-Generation ATS-3200 Radio Test Set

The benchtop radio test set delivers greater capability for testing legacy, modern, and future radios

EAST AURORA, NY, December 10, 2024 – Astronics Corporation (Nasdaq: ATRO), a leading supplier of advanced technologies and products to the global aerospace, defense, and other mission-critical industries, announced today the launch of the ATS-3200 Radio Test Set (RTS), the next evolution in tactical radio testing.  Engineered for military communication systems, this cutting-edge benchtop solution builds on the renowned ATS-3000 and ATS-3100 series platforms and incorporates the same advanced technology selected by the U.S. Army in the competitively awarded TS-4549/T program earlier this year.  The ATS-3200 RTS is now available commercially, empowering users to optimize both legacy and next-generation communication platforms with a single, versatile tool.

Designed with expandability and customization in mind, the ATS-3200 RTS delivers all the trusted capabilities of its predecessor, the ATS-3100 RTS, with breakthrough enhancements.  New features include an integrated Unit Under Test (UUT) power supply and built-in MIL-STD-1553 functionality, ensuring seamless support for critical communication protocols such as SINCGARS, SRW, WNW, and HAVEQUICK.  This platform provides unmatched flexibility, enabling users to protect investments in legacy systems while seamlessly adopting emerging technologies.

“In a world where reliable communication is mission-critical, especially on the battlefield, the ATS-3200 RTS transforms how tactical radios are tested and maintained,” said Jim Mulato, President of Astronics Test Systems.  “This innovative solution ensures that communication systems remain dependable, reduces maintenance costs, and maximizes mission readiness for our military personnel. Astronics is committed to delivering the tools our armed forces need to succeed in any environment.”

The ATS-3200 RTS is a flexible, software-driven, future-proof system designed for rapid upgrades to meet evolving technological demands.  With its intuitive touch interface, the platform streamlines operations, enabling fully automated testing without requiring extensive operator training.

Astronics offers a comprehensive library of Test Program Sets (TPSs) for tactical radios across virtually all Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), providing flexibility and scalability for any mission.

For added efficiency, operators using both the ATS-3200 RTS and the newly launched ATS-6100 handheld RTS benefit from a unified interface, ensuring a smooth transition from depot to field.  By delivering this cohesive solution, Astronics redefines tactical radio testing, setting a new benchmark for performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

Experience the ATS-3200 RTS -- engineered to empower mission success.

Astronics will be demonstrating the ATS-3200 RTS at the Defense Maintenance and Logistics Exhibition, part of the DoD Maintenance Symposium, this week in Salt Lake City, Utah, December 10-12, in booth 621.  For more information, visit Astronics.com.
