Guardian™
Portable, Integrated O-Level Test Platform
Guardian is a ruggedized automated testing platform that quickly and accurately verifies the operational readiness of complex electronics systems in aircraft, ships, and vehicles.
With its software-defined, configurable architecture, Guardian supports a wide range of applications including electronic combat, communication, navigation, avionics, and control systems. The flexible design addresses rapidly evolving test requirements and allows for cost-effective long-term sustainment.
Highly Reconfigurable Architecture Supports Wide Ranges of Field Test Applications
Guardian’s architecture provides three levels of reconfigurability.
- Hardware: Guardian supports up to four PXIe instruments, either reconfigurable or standard, providing endless test application possibilities. The chassis is removable, allowing users to easily swap instruments without having to disconnect cabling connections.
- Interfaces: Guardian’s physical I/O panel can be configured and reconfigured to support a wide range of UUT interfaces. In addition, its Interface Board can accommodate additional interfaces and signal conditioning.
- Software: Guardian’s instrument drivers, test programs, and touchscreen interfaces can all be configured using open software environment.
Guardian is an ideal solution for a multitude of O-Level test requirements in a single and secure package. Its ruggedized enclosure can operate in the harshest environments and meets the requirements for single person lift. The ergonomic design allows for easy handling and operation while the modular design provides hassle-free maintenance.
