Modern military systems are moving away from 'stove-pipe' equipment to integrated systems forming network-enabled capability. Software integration and acceptance testing expertise is therefore a core capability within Drumgrange. We specialise in the integration and installation of specialist communications and electronic systems for use in demanding military and security environments. This includes the adaption of a variety of boat and vehicle platforms.
System Integration
Drumgrange's system engineering teams have particular expertise in developing and integrating equipment within an existing system/platform infrastructure, whether that is to provide new functionality or to overcome equipment obsolescence.
We produce comprehensive interface control documentation, produce signal stimulators and simulators for interface and system testing. Where necessary, Drumgrange can reverse engineer interface control documentation for legacy equipment where there is limited or unreliable documentation.
Several recent projects with significant integration aspects include:
System Acceptance and Trials
