Engineering

Virtually all our post-9/11 new-ECU designs have been for units deployed to CENTCOM AOR supporting OIF and OEF.  We appreciate the design requirements for ECUs destined for rigorous Middle-East military service with operational temperature extremes of the desert and service at altitude in rugged mountainous terrain as in Afghanistan.  Our typical experience for ECUs in this service has shown Mean Time Between Critical Failures (MTBCF) in the 19,000 – 21,000 service hour range.

The majority of ECU designs, Applied has produced, have been subjected to the complete MIL-STD- 810, Type V Mobility, or Marine Mission Profile test protocols. The testing history enables us to utilize prior testing on a similar ECU platforms by similarity and analysis in lieu of physical testing.  This helps to minimize non-recurring costs, minimize development program risk and offer reduced lead times for delivery of functional first-article units.

  Applied Companies' ASHRAE-37 Chamber provides the testing facility for most products.
  Engineering relies heavily upon creating a realistic environment to challenge the form, fit and function of our ECUs.
