Prototyping and Test Services

Advanced Engineering & Manufacturing

CTC is an independent, nonprofit, applied scientific research and development organization. As a nonprofit, CTC partners with clients to provide the best possible advanced engineering & manufacturing solutions. Our facilities are built and approved to protect sensitive manufacturing, programs and information processing. We offer extensive prototyping and test services expertise, including:

• Prototype Fabrication and Assembly• Mechanical Testing - High Temperature and Cryogenic• Test Planning Development and Test Specimen• Drop Tower Testing

Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) designed, constructed, tested and deployed a Carriage, Stream, Tow, and Recovery System Trainer (CSTRS-T) for the MH-60S Helicopter. CTC installed a fully functional CSTRS unit in a MH-60 cabin mockup mounted on a 30-ft. high support structure with supporting power, hydraulic, communications, lighting, and control systems used for training and testing.

CTC’s quality management system is certified to the ISO 9001:2008 (Quality) and 14001:2004 (Environmental) standards. CTC’s for-profit affiliate, Enterprise Ventures Corporation (EVC), is certified to the AS9100 standard for aerospace activities.
