 © EADS TEST & SERVICES | EADS TEST & SERVICES has upgraded its SESAR 3000 military tester in service with the French armed forces to offer SESAR 3000A, an optimised test system responding to users’ new budgetary and operational requirements in France and abroad (armed forces, equipment and system manufacturers). |
This tester perfectly matches the concept for interoperable military test systems, which has emerged from international cooperation between three nations (Germany, France and Italy), seeking for harmonised test facilities between their different armed forces.
SESAR 3000A is particularly adapted to production and maintenance testing. Its open software architecture makes it both fully compatible with the SESAR 3000 and interoperable with other military testers to be developed for the support of new European military programmes (NH90, etc.).

SESAR 3000A’s Open System Software OSS™ architecture has been designed by EADS TEST & SERVICES to improve test development time and costs, by permitting the use of various programming languages and the re-use of existing test procedures.

The OSS architecture, which is also implemented on the ATEC Series 6, works on a PC with a Windows® operating system and enables the development and running of Test Programme Sets (TPS).
It allows the use of standard test sequencers (TestBase®), compatible with ATLAS, C++, LabWindows/CVI®, etc., programming environments, for the writing of test procedures.
Moreover, the interface between the ATE instrumentation and the test procedures is set up by the Test Resource Manager TRM™ software, which makes test programmes fully independent of instrumentation resources. This facilitates software porting and precludes the need to modify test programmes when replacing obsolete resources.
Through its extendable capabilities, the OSS can evolve to common software architecture for interoperable test systems to be developed for the test of European military programmes.
It ensures the entire compatibility between SESAR 3000A and SESAR 3000, thus enabling the re-use of TPS that have already been developed, for example like those for Tiger helicopters, Rafale aircraft or Leclerc tanks.

With the integration of the latest technologies and off-the-shelf resources, SESAR 3000A’s modular hardware architecture has been optimised to match Equipment and System manufacturers requirements, while ensuring high availability of their systems or equipment.
As for SESAR 3000, two versions (electronics and electro-optics) and two configurations of SESAR 3000A are available: mobile (in shelters) for projection to the operational theatre and indoor for workshop use (development and maintenance of test programmes).
