Aero Nav Laboratories, Inc.
Aero Nav Laboratories is a full service environmental simulation lab which has served the military and industrial communities since 1974. Aero Nav Labs has developed a strong foundation of testing experience and capability and performs a wide variety of tests such as shock, vibration, highly accelerated stress, screening (HASS), highly accelerated life tests (HALT), salt spray, explosion, fire resistance, and more. The tests are conducted in accordance with numerous military, commercial, automotive, transportation, marine, aerospace and medical specifications. The laboratory offers additional services to its customers such as functional and developmental testing as well as engineering technical support. The technical support includes analyses, test program design and review of tests results. Aero Nav Labs is also capable of providing contract work services such as contract manufacturing (small quantities), prototype manufacturing, component assembly, field inspection, test witnessing and verification.

Lightning Test
Lightning testing is used to determine the ability of externally mounted electrical and electronic equipment to withstand the direct effects of a lightning strike.

Dielectric Withstanding Voltage Test
The dielectric withstanding voltage test (also called high-potential, over-potential voltage-breakdown, or dielectric-strength test) consists of the application of a voltage significantly higher than rated voltage for a specific time, between mutually insulated portions of a component part or between insulated portions and ground. This is used to prove that the component part can operate safely at its rated voltage and withstand momentary over-potentials due to switching, surges, and other similar phenomena.

Corrosion Test
The purpose of this test is to determine the resistance of materials and protective coatings to corrosive atmospheres when a more corrosive environment than the salt fog/spray test is required. The test is used when material is stored or operated in areas, for example, where acidic atmospheres exist, such as in industrial areas or near the exhausts of any fuel-burning device. Gases such as sulfur dioxide are used to replicate the exhausts of fuel burning devices.

Fungus Test
The fungus test assesses the extent to which material will support fungal growth and how any fungal growth may affect performance. The fungus test also identifies how rapidly fungus will grow on the material, and how fungus affects the material, its mission, and its safety for use following the growth of fungus on the material.

Magnetic Effects Test
This test determines if an object can operate normally in strong externally generated magnetic environments. The magnetic effect test helps to assist in determining the proper location of the equipment in the installation.

Package Handling Test
This test subjects packaged items to the stresses encountered during handling, transportation and storage. The tests consist of drop tests, storage tests such as stacking and compression, temperature tests and transportation vibration tests.

Solar Radiation (Sunshine) Test
This test determines the effects of direct solar radiation on components and material. The heating effects of solar radiation differ from those of high air temperature in that the amount of heat absorbed depends on the roughness and color of the surface on which the radiation is incident and the angle of incidence to the sun. Variations in the intensity of solar radiation over the surface of the component, may cause components to expand or contract at different rates, which can lead to severe stresses and loss of structural integrity. In addition, degradation due to photo-chemical changes can occur such as fading of color, deterioration of natural and synthetic elastomers and polymers. The test items that are subjected to solar radiation testing are those that are exposed to solar radiation during its life cycle, in the open, in warm climates.

Random Drop (Non-Packaged) Test
The random drop test is used to determine the effects on non-packaged components of random, repeated dropping due to handling, shipping, and other field service conditions. The test is an accelerated test designed to indicate structural and mechanical weaknesses of types not necessarily detected in shock and vibration tests.

Acceleration Testing
The acceleration test is performed on a centrifuge to assure that material can structurally withstand the steady state inertia loads that are induced by platform acceleration, deceleration, and maneuver in the service environment, and can function without degradation during and following exposure to these forces. Acceleration tests are also used to assure that material does not become hazardous after exposure to crash loads. The acceleration test method is applicable to material that is installed in mobile platforms such as aircraft, helicopters, aerospace vehicles, air-carried stores, ground-launched missiles, trains, ships, automotive vehicles, etc.

Shock Test
Shock testing determines the ability of equipment to withstand the infrequent non-repetitive shocks encountered in handling, transportation, and service and to continue to function, where required. Also, shock tests verify that equipment will not detach from its mounting during these tests.

Icing/Freezing Rain Test
This test evaluates the effects of icing/freezing rain on the operational capability of equipment. This method also provides tests for evaluating the effectiveness of de-icing equipment and techniques, using prescribed means that are used in the field.

Radiographic Inspection Test
The radiographic inspection is a non-destructive x-ray method for detecting internal physical defects in small component parts which are not otherwise visible. Radiographic techniques are intended to reveal such flaws as improper positioning of elements, voids in encapsulating or potting compounds, inhomogeneities in materials, presence of foreign materials, broken elements, etc.
