Aerospace and defence standards
Comprehensive power input validation across aerospace and defence electrical systems
Testing components for mission-critical applications
Electrical and electronic components are central to modern aerospace and defence platforms, supporting avionics, communications, power distribution, actuation and other mission-critical functions.
Power input standards and military requirements define the electrical conditions these components must withstand and the behaviours they must demonstrate. RTCA DO-160 Section 16 addresses power input testing for airborne equipment, while MIL-STD-704 defines aircraft electric power characteristics at the input terminals of utilization equipment.
For engineering teams, these requirements translate into demanding tests covering voltage and frequency variation, interruptions, ripple, surges, transients and other dynamic power conditions.
Our integrated test systems give your team the hardware, software and waveform control needed to reproduce these conditions with precision and repeatability. This reduces setup time, extends test coverage and makes it easier to respond as requirements evolve.

Maximise test performance while reducing complexity
Our modular systems give your team the performance and flexibility needed to execute demanding standards-based and custom tests across aerospace and defence applications.
All‑in‑one integrated test system
Bolab’s 4‑quadrant amplifier brings 4-quadrant amplification, waveform generation, measurement, data acquisition, reporting and centralized software control together within one integrated test environment.
By reducing reliance on separate power supplies, oscilloscopes, multimeters and other measurement equipment, our systems simplify cabling, configuration and instrument coordination. This improves repeatability, reduces setup time and helps your team get testing underway more quickly.
True 4‑quadrant operation
Our 4-quadrant amplifiers can source and sink power while controlling positive and negative voltage and current. This enables your team to reproduce dynamic electrical conditions and absorb energy returned by the device under test without losing waveform control.
This supports more realistic testing of components and power input conditions that conventional source-only power supplies cannot reproduce accurately.
Advanced waveform generation
Fast rise and fall times, high bandwidth and flexible waveform creation enable your team to reproduce demanding voltage and current conditions, including ripple and other complex power input profiles.
Bolab combines advanced hardware with extensive standards-based waveform libraries to perform demanding tests that more restricted systems cannot support. This extends your test coverage and reduces the need for additional equipment or separate test setups.
Ready-to-use waveforms help your team get testing underway quickly, while unlimited waveform creation gives you the freedom to develop custom voltage and current profiles for your specific requirements.
Centralised software control and automation
Powerful, intuitive software brings waveform creation, test execution, measurement and automation under centralized control.
This supports repeatable testing, reduces manual configuration and saves valuable setup time. Tests that could require hours of work with a conventional multi-instrument setup can be configured and executed more efficiently within the Bolab environment.
Simplified operation and faster onboarding
Bringing multiple test capabilities together in one integrated environment simplifies day-to-day operation and reduces the need for engineers to learn and coordinate multiple tools. This makes systems easier to adopt, shortens training time and helps teams establish more consistent testing practices.
