Aerospace and military applications are highly specialized fields that require strict quality control from the research and development stages of product creation.
Testing equipment used in this sector is often demanded to be compact, robust, and highly durable, as it operates under extremely challenging environmental conditions, including a wide range of temperatures, pressures, and significant vibration and shock.
Due to the rapid variability (microseconds) of the measurement subjects, the measurement solutions in this field must meet criteria for processing speed while still ensuring measurement accuracy.
HIKI TEC., JSC, with many years of experience in providing measurement solutions for the aerospace and military sectors, and as a partner to many renowned brands worldwide, has supported customers in Vietnam with testing and experiments such as rocket engine testing, satellite payload testing, UAV and drone testing, wind tunnel testing, airblast testing for underwater/onshore explosions, and ballistic testing.
