Abstract

Machined and brazed AlBeMet versions of the SIRFC LRU-1 (Receiver-Processor), LRU-2 (Transmitter), LRU-3 (Modulator) and LRU-4 (Antenna group) structures and electronic modules have been fabricated, assembled and extensively tested. Environmental screening and qualification testing and extensive engineering tests have proven the suitability of AlBeMet as a lightweight structural material for electronic systems. Attached is an Engineering Environmental Test Report for vibration tests performed on a brazed SIRFC LRU-1 chassis. The SIRFC system constructed with AlBeMet structures have been environmentally flight-tested.
