Avionics Qualification Support Test Equipment

Avionics qualification testing is one of the most critical phases of the avionics design process and a fundamental step toward certification. Test failures at this stage often result in costly redesigns, schedule delays, and additional verification cycles.

Using properly engineered support equipment that meets stringent EMI and environmental requirements significantly reduces troubleshooting time, lowers technical risk, and helps ensure a smooth path to certification.

High-quality test support equipment accurately simulates the aircraft environment during qualification testing. It reproduces realistic loading conditions for Equipment Under Test (EUT) communication interfaces, provides EMI protection for avionics simulation test cards (when used instead of active loopback methods), and isolates avionics interfaces from external interference in active loopback configurations. Properly designed qualification setups prevent false failures and ensure reliable, repeatable test results.

Traditionally, avionics programs require custom design or redesign of project-specific legacy support equipment — an effort that consumes valuable engineering resources and extends development schedules.

EDS eliminates this inefficiency by offering avionics qualification test cards specifically engineered for demanding avionics interfaces. Our solutions are designed to comply with the highest levels of qualification requirements and severe test conditions typically required by leading aircraft manufacturers.

Beyond standard test cards, EDS provides project-specific qualification test setup / test cards design and production.
