Testing of avionic and military components

At Istituto Giordano's Pomezia site, the “Aerospace and Defence” sector specialises in performing environmental tests for the qualification of avionics and military components.

The strength of our service is the extreme attention to customer requirements:

• emergency management;
• execution of tests under the supervision of external inspectors (in person and remotely);
• study and realisation of dedicated set-ups for carrying out special tests or tests on extremely complex objects.

MIL-ST-810, RTCA DO-160G, AECTP 300 and DEF-STAN 00-35

In accordance with these technical standards we indicate the main tests performed:
