The RTCA first published the DO-160 standard in 1980 to specify test conditions for electronic hardware in airborne systems. The RTCA established DO-160 Environmental Conditions and test Procedures for Airborne Equipment as a standard for sub-systems environmental qualification.  CVG Strategy provides test and engineering services to the full suite of test categories outlined in the DO-160 specification.  Many labs that we have worked with both here in Florida and elsewhere in the Eastern US have the capability to run these tests, depending on the size of the test item.
