Military, aerospace and defense components and systems environmental testing is a crucial process necessary to ensure they can withstand the harsh environments they’ll encounter during their operational lifecycle and guarantee mission success. Environmental stress testing is essential for guaranteeing the reliability, effectiveness, and longevity of military, aerospace and defense equipment.

Experior Laboratories specializes in comprehensive environmental testing services tailored to meet the rigorous standards required by the U.S. Military branches and commercial aerospace industry. Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped to perform a wide range of environmental test services, ensuring they meet the highest standards of durability, reliability, and performance in the most demanding conditions.

Comprehensive Testing Services

Vibration Testing

Experior Laboratories’ MIL-STD-790 and ISO-17025:2017 accredited laboratory houses multiple state-of-the-art electrodynamic vibration testing systems that can handle the most demanding vibration and shock testing specifications.

Shock Testing

MIL-S-901 Lightweight Shock
Military Specification MIL-S-901 is a military specification for High Impact mechanical shock which applies to equipment mounted on ships.

Mechanical Shock Test Methods
Mechanical shock testing helps determine whether a device can remain functional when subjected to sudden, abrupt motion changes associated with service environments.

Temperature and Humidity Testing

Components and devices are subjected to temperature and humidity testing to determine the resistance and effect of a part to environmental extremes.

Altitude Testing

Experior Laboratories Altitude Testing Facility can simulate climbing or descending profiles beyond 100,000 feet for high altitude, low altitude, or altitude immersion testing. The altitude chamber can also be utilized for rapid decompression test scenarios as commonly found for aerospace applications.

Fiber Optic and Electrical Cable
and Connector Testing

Experior Labs tests a broad range of fiber optic and electrical components that include fiber, wire, cable, connector and harness assemblies, as well as switches and a range of other passive optical components, including closures and terminals.

Military EMC and EMI Testing

A full-service EMC Testing lab and recognized expert in Military and Aerospace EMC certification testing. Our capabilities are designed to deliver a full range of services to meet the most demanding of Military and Aerospace EMC testing.
