Its intended uses include flight-line troubleshooting and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) activities. UN-ATE platform.
Aircraft applicability is tied to the test solution. THS says its packages include engineering orders, aircraft maintenance manual procedures and effectivity lists identifying the aircraft configurations covered. This makes the procedure and its applicability part of the offering alongside the physical tester. The company also develops additional test solutions with airlines and original equipment manufacturers. Aircraft test solutions.
Hardware, software and support

UN-ATE and AMUET
The commercial UN-ATE platform is distinct from Advanced-Mobile-Universal-Electrical-Tooling (AMUET). THS identifies its sister company Solavitek as AMUET’s technology provider and describes AMUET as a cybersecure version of the commercial platform. That relationship does not make AMUET-specific security claims a standard feature of every UN-ATE configuration. THS and Solavitek product relationship.
