Common program questions.

What MIL-STD standards do you test to?
Valor performs environmental, EMI/EMC, and microelectronics qualification testing to applicable MIL-STD and program-specific requirements, including MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, and MIL-STD-883. Test reports are documented, signed, and lot-traceable.
Do you provide AS9102 First Article Inspection?
Yes. AS9102 First Article Inspection (FAI) reports are available for qualified configurations. Complete lot traceability is maintained from raw material certifications through final inspection and shipment documentation.
Do you perform qualification testing in-house?
Yes. Build-to-print programs receive the same in-house metrology, environmental testing, inspection, and, where applicable, ballistic verification as inventor-of-record programs, without vendor handoffs between manufacturing and qualification.
