Testing Services

DMSMS strategies relating to microcircuits include integrating new technologies into legacy equipment and maintaining a supply of qualified old stock (obsolete) components.

METTOP supports these efforts by providing screening and quality conformance inspections (QCI) according to established standards (MIL-STD 883, MIL-STD 750, MIL-PRF-38535, MIL-PRF 19500).

General Capabilities

METTOP provides services in the following test areas:

• Test planning, facility scheduling, test conduct, analysis, and report generation
