communications, and Maritime/Overland surveillance. Material is stored using automated retrieval and storage systems. Product is built using both manual and robotic processes including automation for Conformal Coating of CCA’s. Product is tested using Functional Acceptance Testing of Hardware and Software using both Commercial and designed equipment; Environmental Thermal and Stress Screening using both Conventional and Highly Accelerated chambers with profiles typically +70°C/-55°C; Vibration at X/Y/Z axis, DITMCO and Cirrus Chassis Harness Point-to-Point Validation; and Spectrum/Teredyne Functional Circuit card and Module test sets.

•Microwave Assembly Technology.    Our Microwave product capabilities include simple isolator components for large scale phased array radars to very complex highly integrated Electronic Warfare Line Replaceable Units. All products are designed internally to customer specifications using the latest versions of microwave design and simulation software, coupled with an extensive internal design library. Our radar beamforming solutions are realized through internal design, manufacturing, and highly automated test processes for circulators, RF distribution, and manifold assemblies. Automated pick-and-place, surface mount reflow, fully automated visual inspection, and automated test stands ensure highly repeatable integrated microwave assembly performance. Our environmental lab test capability is used for product qualification and Highly Accelerated Life Testing when required.

•Microelectronics Module Technology.    Analog and mixed-signal multi-chip modules (also known as hybrid integrated circuits) are assembled in our Microelectronics Center of Excellence, which is certified to MIL-PRF-38534 and -38535 Class H and Class K for high reliability ground, airborne, and space applications. We continue to invest in state-of-the-art equipment for precision microelectronic assembly processes including custom ceramic substrate manufacturing, eutectic die attach, precision flip chip die attach, underfill, automated epoxy dispense, wire bonding, lid attach, and lead forming. Our packaging technology serves traditional chip and wire 2D construction as well as 2.5/3DHI advanced packaging assembly. All modules are electrically tested for performance and subjected to environmental testing as required.

•Ceramic Technology.    We believe Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) circuits are well-suited for high‑performance RF packages for multi-function applications such as transmit-receive modules or other RF integrated modules. We have developed proprietary processes to allow for the use of less expensive conductors (silver vs. traditional gold) in the LTCC product thus providing significantly lower-cost options to our customers. We have also developed a proprietary etched
