Markets........ Teradyne serves customers in the electronics industry with comprehensive capabilities in test and inspection. Teradyne test instruments and systems are used in commercial environments and in military/aerospace applications where reliability, time-to-market, and in-line process test is key to success. The majority of our customers are in the computer, contract manufacturing, telecom/networking, and defense electronics industries.
Consumer Electronics........ Accelerated development cycles, cost reductions, shorter product lives, and a rising demand for smaller, more complex portable electronics are among the critical challenges facing today’s high-volume electronics manufacturing OEMs and electronics service providers.

In response to these challenges, and with an eye to the future, Teradyne continues to develop innovative hardware and software-based test and inspection systems ranging from boundary-scan test software, and on-board flash programming, to open architectected, VXI and Windows™-based in-circuit and functional test systems, and groundbreaking automated X-Ray inspection systems.

Teradyne products are developed with a focus on industry standards, ease of use, the ability to deploy and maintain systems worldwide, and above all, optimal value and performance. Teradyne’s advanced technology and proven industry experience combine to keep our customers at the top of their markets.

Military/Aerospace Electronics........ For over 30 years, Teradyne’s Assembly Test Division has supplied electronic test technology and solutions to the military and aerospace industries. We enjoy a reputation as the leading supplier of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) test equipment to military services and contractors, serving customers with high-performance circuit-board and box-level test systems, instrument subsystems, and software tools that maximize test quality and minimize development time.

Major customers in this market include Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and the US Army, US Navy, and US Air Force. Teradyne’s technology is prominent within DoD standard test platforms such as the Navy’s CASS and RT-CASS, the Army’s IFTE, and the Marines TETS systems. Our test systems are deployed on Air Force bases around the world, supporting programs such B-1B, B-2, C-17, F-15, ICBM and more. Our test subsystems and systems are used in defense contractor and commercial avionics OEM factories, testing electronics deployed in the F-22, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, and in Boeing Commercial Aircraft.

With the introduction of the M910 digital test instrument in 1996, Teradyne began packaging subsets of our high-performance L-series functional test systems into smaller, less-expensive test instruments with industry-standard interfaces. The subsystems can be easily integrated into in-house test systems.

Teradyne digital test systems and instruments are used in virtually all major US defense programs.

Teradyne's Digital Test Partner program has firmly established Teradyne's leadership in the mil-aero market.

Among suppliers of military electronics, where high-performance testing is the rule, LASAR is the defacto standard for test program set (TPS) development.
