SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (October 7, 2006) Autotest Company, San Antonio, Texas, today announced that ITT Power Solutions in West Springfield, Massachusetts has awarded Autotest a new contract for multi-functional Automated Test Equipment (ATE) units for High Voltage application associated with the Night Vision program.
The new award includes multiple standalone ATE's for High Voltage Power Supplies Gen I, Gen II, and Gen III Series power supplies. This contract is worth well over $1 million dollars and represents a departure from in-house testers to specialized Automated Test Equipment supportable by ITT. The ITT power supplies are gated and non-gated NV Series image intensifier tubes.
The ITT Night Vision Gen I, Gen II, and Gen III image intensifier tubes are the choice of the U.S. Army and Marines and around the world. The million dollar project involves the integration of military critical tasks and codes with proven industry standardized test scenarios. The multi-faceted project includes hardware interfaces and software application programming using Autotest’s Automated Program Generator (APG) for Windows software.
