Automotive Test Instrumentation

The Log.Sec team demonstrates unique, holistic knowledge and capability to integrate and leverage FCS and C4ISR concepts from development, prototyping and testing to deployment and fielding. Log.Sec has direct relevant SOW experience supporting the Aberdeen Test Center (ATC). The ATSS Team provides scientific, engineering and technical personnel, transportation, material and equipment to perform test support functions as an integrated member of Team ATC. The test support function capability of the ATSS Team includes a wide range of capabilities supporting ATC such as the development of quantitative requirements, test and measurement techniques for instrumentation products. Log.Sec's support to the Automotive Instrumentation Division and the Ballistics Instrumentation Division includes requirements for studying and developing test and measurement techniques for specific materiel items.

Our services and support demonstrate broad corporate knowledge and personnel expertise using industry standard test and measurement techniques, electronic and measurement principles, instrumentation methodologies, best practices and processes in developing detailed system diagnostic and test procedures. We study and conduct concept and quick-reaction studies on instrumentation projects. Examples include: Warfighter and Support equipment (e.g., boots, helmets, and clothing), M1A1/M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank, Stryker Combat Vehicle, and M8300 HEAT Munitions.

Log.Sec analyzes quantitative requirements, documents and provides the Government instrumentation and test recommendations based on studies and compiled data from tests. Our team studies and develops test and measurement techniques for commodity classes such as: Wheeled Vehicles, Tracked Vehicles, Artillery, Fire Control Systems, and General Equipment.

We develop test instrumentation and measurement procedures, techniques and performance specifications in accordance to stringent and documented quality, control, and reliability requirements. Electromagnetic Interference/Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMI/EMC) testing is performed applying Military Standards 461E and 464A on test instrumentation and test equipment to develop normal operating baselines of the EMI/EMC environment prior to testing. Radiated-conducted emissions and radiated-conducted susceptibility EMI/EMC tests are performed to ensure the viability of tests to include bit error rate (BER) tests and radio desensitization.

Log.Sec leverages our outstanding corporate instrumentation knowledge, experience and personnel expertise to provide the Government valuable recommendations on improving instrumentation and measurement techniques. For the Automotive Instrumentation Division and the Ballistics Instrumentation Division, Log.Sec performs and supports design, fabrication, installation, and operational tests on existing and new circuits, mechanical equipment and instrumentation systems. Our management structure and fabrication procedures include the development, use, and documentation of design and fabrication sketches and drawings. We perform modifications of systems and components to optimize performance, accuracy, reliability, and to meet a specific test or data acquisition specifications. For example, we supported the fabrication and installation of a new EMI chamber and control room during the period of November 2003 thru March 2005. One of the largest facilities of its type, this facility measures 94' L x 60' W x 28' H, making it large enough for combat vehicles, tactical trucks, large caliber weapons systems, and helicopters and small enough for hand-held binoculars.
