Test Solutions
The defence industry is facing a new dynamic: rising production volumes are meeting complex system requirements. Konrad Technologies closes this gap. We transfer our decades of expertise in high-volume manufacturing from other industries directly to the low-volume defence sector.
As your senior partner, we don't just see test systems as a necessary evil at the end of the line; we see them as a strategic lever. Our solutions support your product throughout its entire life cycle, from laboratory validation to end-of-line production testing.
This results in scalable test systems that increase your first pass yield from 35-40 % up to 90 %.

Applications
- Build to Print: We build test equipment exactly according to your blueprints. Ideal for quickly expanding capacity.
- Obsolescence Cleanup: By modernising outdated technology, we enable you to maintain long-lasting aircraft fleets. We support you from the initial idea to completion, including feasibility testing and implementation management.
- ESS, HALT, HASS Tester: Stress test systems expose components to extreme heat, cold or vibration in order to prevent early failures. For this purpose, we design customised special test equipment for specific systems without standard testers (Special to Type Test Equipment STTE).
- LRU & SRU Tester: We test replacement boxes and circuit boards to enable cost-effective repairs.
- Software Development: Programming of control software for automation and documentation of test results.
- Optoelectronic Development, Assembly and Testing: Development, precise assembly and comprehensive testing of optoelectronic systems and components. The aim is to ensure maximum performance, reliability and reproducible quality throughout the entire product life cycle.
Solutions
Landing Flap Lever Functional Tester (FCT)
Application: A functional test system for a landing flap lever was developed for an aerospace manufacturer, focusing on electrical and mechanical testing, including position detection.
Key Function Test specifications:
• Programmable AC Source: 115V / 400Hz
• Central system power supply with emergency stop
• Multifunction DAQ (16-bit, 1.25 MS/s)
• DUT Communication: ARINC 429
High Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) Test System
Application: Stress Screening Tests were designed for the aerospace industry to assure quality through temperature cycling from -40°C to +85°C and multi-axis shaking, ensuring early detection of failures and defects.
Key Test System Capabilities:
• DUT interfacing via exchangeable test adapters
• Control of climatic chamber and shaker for test sequences
• Automated verification of software and hardware parameters
• Data storage in result files compliant with aerospace standards, such as ABD0100.
Avionics Equipment Universal Test System
Application: A universal test system using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components was developed to test complex Avionics Equipment, such as the Tactical Mission Computers for mission critical programs under strict confidential compliance rules. This system, based on LEON, conducts in-depth testing at three levels: LRU (Line Replaceable Unit), SRU (Shop Replaceable Unit), and PMC module level, using standard interface adapters.
Key Test System Capabilities:
• Function Test (FCT)
• Video Signal Test
• Boundary Scan Test
• Avionics DUT Communication
Avionics Equipment Maintenance Test System
Application: The Avionics Equipment Maintenance Test System uses the Universal Test System LEON from Konrad Technologies, designed for aviation-specific needs. It connects to various test adapters via a Virginia Panel interface for flexibility.
Key Test System Capabilities:
• Functional Test (FCT)
• Dynamic current measurements
• Real time compatibility
• Avionics DUT Communication
