Next-Gen Armament Test!


The SmartCan™ is the most advanced, cybersecure flightline armament test set available, delivering significant reductions in test time, training hours, and logistics footprint, while replacing multiple legacy test sets, improving test performance, and reliability.  

Multiple aircraft – manned and unmanned, rotary and fixed wing – can be loaded into a single SmartCan, eliminating the traditional deployment of multiple aircraft-specific armament test sets on the flightline. By eliminating multiple test sets, the maintainer’s setup and test times are reduced significantly.

When comparing the test setup times of an F-16 using the current legacy test set versus one tested with the SmartCan, the results are striking: a reduction from 45 minutes to just 4 minutes, representing an impressive 91% decrease. Similarly, test execution times for F-16 pylon utilizing MIL-STD-1760 and a LAU-129 being tested for both AIM-120 and AIM-9X saw substantial reductions from 20 minutes to 3 minutes (85% reduction), and from 35 minutes to 4 minutes (89% reduction) respectively. Notably, F-15 testing yielded similar savings.

Capable of supporting all armament, including both legacy and Smart weapons across current and future fighters, bombers, attack helicopters and UASs, the SmartCan ensures interoperability and efficiency. Notably, its program load flexibility supports multiple blocks and aircraft types, thereby streamlining fleet maintenance and reducing equipment footprint.

Its intuitive interface ensures rapid user proficiency, while the innovative test language empowers users to develop and integrate their own test programs if required, leading to a reduction in costs and greater independence. Moreover, advanced features such as data collection and storage enable emerging trend analysis and support predictive maintenance initiatives.  Advanced cybersecurity features and protections include data and test program set (TPS) encryption and a removable hard drive in the form of a SD card to sanitize the test set.

Discover why the SmartCan is the armament test set of choice, supporting air forces and their fleets worldwide.
