Skyware Global commissioned, designed and built the test system entirely in-house through the company’s RF Electronics group. The production line consists of seven independent test systems. Test data from each station is automatically stored to a local database and simultaneously streamed off-site to a remote redundant database located in Skyware Global’s facility in the United Kingdom.

   Skyware Global Vice President of Tactical Ground Systems David Geen said the approach aims to guarantee data integrity, maximize up time and facilitate real-time yield monitoring and statistical process control.

   “In anticipation of our new Ka-band platforms having advanced functionality such as switchable polarization, band-switching and increased M&C capability, these high levels of testing and traceability allow Skyware Global to provide exceptional quality, reliability and performance to all our customers,” Geen said in a statement.
