The Armadillo is a compact and rugged armament test system that is designed to troubleshoot a wide variety of Alternate Mission Equipment (AME) across multiple aircraft platforms, and has been utilized as the SMS Wrap Around Tester (SWAT) for the world’s most advanced 5th gen fighter.
With an intuitive interface, the unit allows new armaments to be easily added to the configuration, and features enhanced sequencing capabilities that enable test programs to run efficiently with minimal cable swapping. The system can be repaired in the field down to the component level, and includes built-in self-test circuitry.
The system's robust design provides protection against many harsh environmental factors including moisture, humidity, sand and dust, salt atmosphere, UV radiation, and shock and vibration. Utilization of internal fans and low-power components ensure reliable operation and a reduced acoustic footprint.
