The automation testing company trusted when failure isn’t an option
Tier-1 OEMS across defense, aerospace and other complex or highly regulated sectors have turned to ARC as a trusted systems partner and small-business prime for over two decades. We keep your mission-critical test and integration systems operational by sustaining, upgrading or rebuilding as requirements evolve. Even when documentation is missing. Even when timelines are tight. From replacing unsupported RF platforms to managing full system refreshes, we act as your engineering partner. This means full lifecycle ownership and a record of compliant, on-time delivery under strict quality flow downs — all built into every engagement.
End-to-end program management
Your project’s complexity requires alignment. That’s why ARC mirrors your IPT structure to reduce handholding and expedite approvals, with direct lines of communication between PMs, SCMs and engineers. We own every detail, from master schedule, risk register, obsolescence management to traceable sourcing, red-line ECOs to AS9100 configuration management and more. The result? A repeatable, scalable end-product that meets your specs and your deadlines.

TURNKEY TEST SYSTEM, FIXTURE & TPS DESIGN
Reduce complexity with fully integrated test systems
Designing a complete test system is high-risk work, especially when specs keep shifting and delivery dates can’t move. ARC takes full ownership from concept through validation, applying disciplined project management and structured risk mitigation at every phase. Our engineers bring decades of experience developing fixtures, TPS software and instrumentation architectures for demanding aerospace and defense programs. The result? Fully integrated, fully documented, high-performance test systems that perform to spec and show up on time.
BUILD-TO-PRINT
Low-maintenance builds without the babysitting
When Build-to-Print partners fall short, it becomes your problem. ARC removes that risk with disciplined program management to deliver every system on time, in spec and without unnecessary back-and-forth. Our builds span a range of complexity, from circuit card assemblies and custom cables to rack-and-stack testers, automated test equipment to Navy ruggedized control cabinets. We also support diverse architectures and environments, including K, KA and Ku RF bands, and embedded FPGA, PLCs and NI LabVIEW hardware.
FAST UPGRADES AND RETROFITS
Speed performance upgrades for new commercial objectives
Retrofit your existing equipment to meet new technical requirements without triggering a full recertification cycle. From rapidly adapting to upgraded operating systems, swapping out obsolete components or improving processing times, our engineering-focused approach upgrades what matters and leaves the rest alone. We can also validate critical signal paths, including RF, so that refurbished systems perform to spec. The result? A new system that adds bandwidth to your manufacturing facility.
THE ARC TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS DIFFERENCE
One partner. End-to-end accountability.
With decades of experience in the world’s most regulated industries, ARC brings the engineering depth and operational discipline that complex programs demand.
25 years of engineering expertise
ARC has delivered hundreds of systems across defense, aerospace and commercial test programs. Our systems are considered the gold standard compared to lower-cost integrators.
ISO 9001 + ITAR compliance
Operating within these frameworks confirms every program meets strict regulatory, quality and export requirements. Documentation and traceability are built into everything we deliver.
Design for Manufacturing
Our DFM/DFA process, LEAN Six Sigma methodology and AS9100 configuration enable smooth transitions from prototype to production. This helps keep your internal TDPs up to date.
Deep RF experience
From K-band radar systems to 110 GHz test platforms, RF engineering can be embedded into everything we build. Digital, mixed signal, full-spectrum — we’ve already solved it.
Trusted by Tier 1 primes
ARC is a proven supplier to BAE, Raytheon and Boeing. Once we win the first contract, we’re always trusted to deliver subsequent next-gen systems.
Manufactured in the U.S.A.
As an SBA-certified small business, our Greater Boston location positions us near key primes and high-tech research centers, making rapid response and real-time technical collaboration straightforward.
