System Prototyping
Since APS incorporated in 2002, we have steadily broadened our hardware and software system prototyping capabilities. System, subsystem, sensor and software development now account for the majority of our work. To maintain our growth in this business area, in September 2006, APS acquired Acoustech Corporation of Philadelphia, PA. For a decade, Acoustech, lead by its president Dr. James McConnell, was an industry leader and innovator in the field of directional underwater transducers. In July 2007, APS acquired C&M Technology Inc. of Old Saybrook, CT. For over 20 years, C&M Technology had developed and produced oceanographic data collection systems and special purpose underwater devices for government laboratories, universities, and industry. With these acquisitions, APS can now offer the full spectrum of underwater acoustic system design and fabrication including directional transducer applications, vertical and horizontal hydrophone arrays, data acquisition units (DAUs), surface and sub-surface buoys, RF telemetry, rotational positioning systems, and pressure test vessels.
With the acquisition of C&M Technology, APS now has a fabrication/prototyping industrial facility to complement our electronics laboratory housed within our corporate office. The fabrication/prototyping facility is located centrally in Groton CT at 145 Leonard Drive, minutes from APS’ headquarters. The Leonard Drive facility has enhanced APS’ ability to design, fabricate, and assemble specialty marine systems and allows APS to leverage the construction, installation, and testing expertise of former C&M employees. The capability to design and prototype nicely complements the signal processing and physics research and development efforts APS is known for. By involving the design and construction staff early in design and research efforts, it is possible to improve end products and reduce lead times. To support our electrical and mechanical prototyping capabilities, APS maintains the following laboratories, facilities, and assets:
APS offers and performs concept development and system prototyping for the following applications:
