Bird Strike Testing
National Technical Systems (NTS)
Many people may consider flocking birds such as sea gulls, ravens, and pigeons to be a nuisance but otherwise harmless. However, to jet aircraft and individuals carried aboard, the possibility of a bird strike poses an existential threat. For instance, when U.S. Airways Flight 1549 crashed into the Hudson River in New York back in January, 2009, the subsequent investigations performed by the NTSB and FAA found that a double bird strike during take-off (one in each engine) caused the incident.

Dynamics Testing
Motorized products must pass a series of tests to ensure readiness for mass production. The parts that comprise an automobile, for example, are submitted to dynamics test labs to endure varying degrees of pressure, noise, vibrations and other challenging forces.

Environmental Simulation Testing
What is environmental simulation testing? Simply put, simulated test environments are all about preparing products for real-world use. This is accomplished by gaining as much testing experience and performance data as early as possible during the products’ lifecycles. Simulated environmental testing usually involves creating artificial environments for test items to determine their expected resilience to their anticipated environments.
