Highly Accelerated Testing in the Aerospace Environment

In this presentation, we plan to describe the experience of Thales-Avionics with issues of operational reliability improvement through highly-accelerated testing methods.Thales-Avionics has undertaken implementation of Highly Accelerated Tests (known as HAT or HALT/HASS). After a "Pilot" period, Thales Aerospace decided to deploy HAT and Highly Accelerated Environmental Stress Screening (HA-ESS) throughout Thales. Today HAT and HA-ESS are an integral component of Thales' reliability programs with 24 HAT / HASS systems distributed on ten industrial sites throughout France and the United States.

Key Words: HAT, HALT, HASS, HA-ESS, Aerospace
