When acquiring new precision measuring equipment for weapons system R&D and procurement projects, defense companies must acquire all necessary calibration elements, including standards, technical documentation, facilities, and training, in accordance with Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) directives. However, calibration is reviewed from a metrological perspective, requiring expertise and complexity different from that of weapon system main equipment and test equipment.
Furthermore, the demand for on-site calibration is increasing to reduce downtime of automatic test equipment (ATE). This necessitates the development of portable automatic test equipment calibrators and calibration procedures from the test equipment design stage. HCT, leveraging its extensive calibration expertise and accumulated calibration system development experience, provides services related to the acquisition of precision measurement equipment and the development of various components, allowing defense companies to focus on their business.
