Element has over 50 years experience in working with a wide range of Defense Product and System manufacturers from the initial concept of their products and on to the complex testing that is required of modern defense equipment. As such, Element is the natural choice for any Defense company looking to develop and take their new products and systems to market.
Our 50 years of experience enable Element to help Defense companies to be exposed to a much smoother journey when testing and qualifying their products for market - from the initial test plan development, test preparation, the actual testing, witnessing and on through the final stage of test reporting.
Our recently launched Early Stage Qualification (or ESQ®) service has been developed by Elements team of Engaged Experts and is based on the considerable experience that they have gained over the last 50 years from testing thousands of different products from across a diverse range of industry sectors.
We are both A2LA and UKAS accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and have one the of largest capacities of Defense related EMC and Environmental testing in the world with seven testing centers in the USA and UK.
Each year Element tests over 500 Defense related products from our laboratories in the UK and USA. Over the past decade we have successfully written test plans and performed testing for most of the major programs in the USA including the F-22, JSF, A400M, CH-53K and the Challenger Main Battle Tank, the Mastiff and Husky military vehicles in the UK.
