 The United States Navy has been at the forefront of the DoD’s drive for standards-based, COTS test equipment. The Navy’s Consolidated Automatic Support System (CASS) program embodies these principles, and has been instrumental in reducing the Navy’s cost to acquire and maintain ATE.

 Teradyne has supplied VXI Digital Test Units (DTU) for CASS since the early 1990’s. In recent years, Teradyne was selected to supply parallel analog (ATI) and serial bus (BTI) test instruments to upgrade CASS and accelerate the Navy’s tester consolidation objectives.
The Reconfigurable Transportable (RT-CASS) program, awarded in September 2003, is heavily populated with Teradyne technology, including:
