The company offers mission and flight critical hardware and software systems, integrations, verification and validation services, training services, and research and development. TES works to help organizations solve mission and safety-critical system challenges with engineering, hardware, and software solutions. To do this, TES offers design, development, prototype, integration, test, and production services, solutions, methods and tools for those organizations.
TES was founded in 1997 by Sean Mulholland, Dennis Kenman, and Antonio Procopio, and is headquartered in Tucson, Arizona.
TES offers custom engineering solutions for embedded and enterprise solutions. The company suggests they have a wide range of capabilities for their solutions, including mission and safety-critical systems, software systems, and electronic hardware challenges. The company specializes in enterprise and embedded hardware and software, with support for accelerated integration, automated testing, and TES is capable of meeting the FAA and Department of Defense standards. Engineering services include systems, software, electronic hardware, verification and validation, prototyping, production, environmental testing, and automated test equipment.
The company has, with their custom solutions, provided solutions for the aerospace industry, defense industry, mining industry, oil and gas industry, automotive industry, industrial Internet of Things, and medical industry.
As part of TES's custom solutions, the company offers a range of engineering services capable of developing solutions for mission and safety critical systems. The company offers services and assistance for organizations seeking help for a single step in a process, or for a full solution from concept to implementation.
Engineering services offered by TES
TES offers various automated test equipment and systems for testing early in the lifecycle of a system, allowing for the design and development to stay on timeline while also working to ensure verification of the unit under test. This equipment works to eliminate human error and inconsistencies in testing. This is achieved through multiple tests for both commercial off-the-shelf and custom parameters.
The company's products and technologies of automated test equipment include automated test stations, which offer testing solutions for development lab environments, formal qualification tests, acceptance test procedures, manufacturing product line testing, and field support. TES utilizes systems simulation technologies, which include an operational flight program test simulator and an operational flight program simulator for emergency oxygen control systems for host-based testing. And TES offers a hardware open system technologies (HOST) Harmony, a conformance test station for NAVAIR's HOST standard.
Enterprise systems development includes, according to TES, development solutions to improve an organization's agency-wide automated systems and business application software responsible for integrating hardware, software, and communication technologies. The company's in-house solution includes the Engineering Services ERP tool: Project Track - SFPT. This software is developed to help users automatically manage and track contract management, human resource tracking and profiles, time tracking and payroll, project management, risk mitigation plans, earned value, and project status.
TES has developed modeling and simulation systems as part of the future airborne capability environment (FACE) consortium, and supports customers on FACE-compliant model-based systems engineering (MBSE) through their proprietary software engineering technology. These modeling and simulation products and technologies have been used by the U.S. army to improve their turbine engine program.
TES provides technologies to help organizations smooth the transition from concept to implementation for embedded and enterprise sense and control needs. These technologies and tools include Capability Industrial Digital Engine Controller (iDEC), which is a multi-fuel industrial digital engine controller to use natural gas as fuel to generate electricity and hydraulic power. CruzFrac, which is software that allows users to control high horsepower turbine-driven centrifugal pumps in hydraulic fracturing operations. And Site Advise, which allows for real-time GPS-enabled asset location tracking.
For rapid software integration, TES offers a tell set and architecture allowing users to integrate systems with minimal changes to existing applications, with support for old and new technologies, different operating systems, and messaging capabilities. These include TESseract, a TES, CES, and FlightWire partnership which offers a scalable solution for rugged, flight-capable UAS computers hosting FACE architectures. And Capability Driven Architecture (CDA) which helps users with a complex problem-integrating various devices onto multiple different aircraft hardware and software architectures.
