Westminster, MD,
United States -
Oct 12, 2007 -
CTRL Systems announced today that the first orders for the new kit configuration PN 000038 have been received.
Earlier this year the final testing and logistics where completed by the USMC & USAF to make the new
kit which includes the CTRL UL101 as the new Ultrasound Test Kit for multiple aircraft such as the
KC -135, C-130 Hercules, AV-8B Harrier, F -16 Falcon, F -18 Hornet, H-60 Black Hawk, P-3
Orion, F-22 Raptor and others.
The new NSN for this kit is 6635 01 534 2512 which replacing the older device PN 4918A which is no
longer available. During the testing with the AV8 team, it was confirmed that the CTRL UL101
matched and/or improved the requirements of the prior device. The new item is now in the inventory
control systems of the Air Force and Navy and is being added by other contractors who support these
aircrafts
This selection was due in part to the earlier work CTRL had done with regards to the Joint Strike Fighter
(F-35) project. The CTRL UL101 was selected to be part of the QC and aftercare equipment list for
that platform (see CTRL press release March 17 2005).
CTRL continues to expand its list of partners of need for this technology as its applications include both
commercial and defense sectors. " We welcome this new group of users from DoD aviation. CTRL has
been working with various departments within DoD for over the past nine years." stated Bob Roche,
CEO of CTRL Systems, "Continue to watch for other new advances to be added to our products and
services of ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) for condition based monitoring (CBM)."
CTRL Systems, Inc. designs and manufactures a line of ultrasound non-destructive testing (NDT)
devices, CTRL UL101 and data capture systems, SoundCTRL that use the properties of ultrasound to
provide a quick and accurate method for testing the condition (CBM) of components such as bearings,
gears, gas lines, pumps, non-pressurized & pressurized vessels. These products are an integral part of
CTRL's complete turnkey system, in use by the aerospace (NASA ISS), aviation, petrochemical, pulp &
paper, railroad, automotive, manufacturing, and power generation industries, as well as the US and other
military air, land and sea operations.
