AAR offers HALT/HASS product testing, technical support

Goldsboro, North Carolina – AAR, the global aerospace and defense contractor that provides products and services to commercial and military fleets, now offers accelerated reliability testing and engineering services for mission-critical products developed for aerospace/aeronautics, automotive, energy, transit/rail, industrial, and medical devices at its facility in Goldsboro.

 

Using specialized equipment, AAR performs highly accelerated life testing (HALT) and highly accelerated stress screening (HASS) to identify design weakness early in the product lifecycle. AAR test services provide technical support, consultation on stress profiles, and flexible scheduling options.

 

Producers of electrical, electronic, and electromechanical products with smaller budgets and shorter development cycles gain the benefits of a Tier 1 supplier of major flight-critical systems, yet a small operation with low overhead that uses fewer resources and takes less time than traditional reliability test methods. Successful HALT/HASS methodologies applied to AAR’s own product lines bring insight and expertise to component suppliers and systems integrators looking to distinguish themselves from competitors.

 

HALT/HASS testing is superior to analytical methods in identifying product weaknesses and reducing early life failures. The company plans to roll out additional engineering services, including advanced consultation on stress profiles, fixture design/build, test design and part monitoring, post-test reporting, physics of failure modeling, and design for reliability consultation. Customer benefits include faster time to market, less expensive testing campaigns, lower warranty costs from more robust designs, and manufacturing cost savings due to better process control.
