With the constant need to reduce costs, designers seek out commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products screened to military equivalents. Central continually invests in new test equipment to meet the requirements of military level and customer-specific screening.

Central performs the majority of up-screen testing in-house, with all tests performed to MIL-STD-750 test methods. Central provides dependable management of the work flow, maintaining accurate device identification throughout the process.
