Our team conducts failure analyses for electrical and mechanical systems for clients in the aircraft and aerospace industry. We use software to perform sneak circuit analysis for critical weapon system electronics and controls, typically involved in munitions or weapon delivery. Sneak circuit analysis can identify unintended circuit paths that could inadvertently alter the intended performance of the system. For trainable gun mounts and related aircraft, SwRI has performed stiffness, strength, and durability analysis as well as finite element analysis and damage tolerance analysis.
