TRI Austin’s experienced engineers use a variety of accelerated life testing (ALT) techniques to stress components and assemblies in conditions designed to mimic the wide ranging field conditions where military equipment is being used. Our reliability and test engineers routinely use systematic experimental design, analysis tools, and FEA modeling to cost efficiently organize ALT strategies and to support reliability assessments of our own systems and hardware, as well as those of the DoD and commercial industry.
