Commenting on the opportunities to which Gundermann referred, Brian D. Price, Executive Vice President of DME Corp., a subsidiary of Astronics, said, ""We have developed a family of synthetic instrument-based, software defined electronics/communications test systems that we believe address the broad electronics test requirements of military units from front line to depot repair level. The test systems are applicable for military communications, unmanned ground or air vehicles, and electronic systems and subsystems. Our test systems have been in beta testing with foreign military customers and have been extremely well received. Although the loss of this contract with the U.S. Marines was a setback for us, we remain confident not only in the superior technology of our test systems, but also several other technologies that we are developing such as Electro-Optical device test systems, factory test solutions, and portable maintenance devices.."
