New Automatic Data Acquisition System delivers faster testing, greater flexibility, and a seamless upgrade path for modern aircraft testing needs.
Introducing ADAS 2.0, the latest generation of its industry-trusted Automatic Data Acquisition System (ADAS). Designed to support the evolving needs of both maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations and commercial production environments, ADAS 2.0 is a modern, high-speed data acquisition and control platform built for hydraulic component testing.
ADAS 2.0 supports legacy and next-generation hydraulic components, including the pumps, motors, and actuators used across commercial and defense aircraft.
The ADAS 2.0 platform combines advanced FPGA-based control, PC-based data acquisition hardware, and Testek’s proven test automation software, enabling operators to test a wider range of aircraft components with greater speed and precision.
“ADAS has been an industry standard for decades,” said Todd Meredith, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing. “ADAS 2.0 represents a complete modernization of this sophisticated test platform, giving our customers a faster, more flexible system that supports next-generation aircraft technologies while protecting the investments they’ve already made in their existing test infrastructure.”
Key capabilities of ADAS 2.0 include:
- Faster data acquisition and processing to reduce test time and increase throughput
- Configurable FPGA-based control for greater flexibility across component types and test requirements
- Expanded support for modern communication protocols and next-generation aircraft components
- A seamless upgrade path to modernizing existing ADAS systems without disrupting operations while also minimizing operator retraining and avoiding costly overhauls
Designed with flexibility in mind, the system’s configurable FPGA-based architecture allows users to adapt test parameters and expand capabilities as requirements evolve. Additionally, since the platform is built on a modern Windows 11 platform and aligned with current Department of Defense cybersecurity standards, ADAS 2.0 helps organizations meet compliance requirements while improving long-term system reliability.
