The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) provides nondestructive testing (NDT) services to aerospace, manufacturing, and construction clients across Los Angeles and surrounding cities, including Santa Monica, Pasadena, and Long Beach, to meet U.S. Department of Defense safety and performance requirements.
NDT testing helps improve the safety and reliability of critical components by detecting hidden defects early without damaging them. Our NDT services also help organizations protect personnel, maintain asset integrity, and extend service life, enabling them to operate with confidence.
What are the DoD Requirements for Aircraft Components?
The key Department of Defense (DoD) standards for aerospace safety and performance in Los Angeles and across the U.S. include, but are not limited to:
- AS9100 Certification – Aerospace Quality Management
- NADCAP Certification – Aerospace Manufacturing Accreditation
- MIL-STD-810 – Environmental Performance Testing
- MIL-STD-461 – EMI/EMC Compliance Testing
