Conference chair message

Welcome to the 45^th edition of IEEE AUTOTESTCON! This conference remains the premier conference focused on Automated Test Systems for the US Military, and in this day of ever-tightening budgets, effective automated test for our military avionics and electronics is more important than ever. Our theme this year of Mission Assurance through Advanced ATE underscored this issue, and our extensive technical presentations and comprehensive exhibitor area are all focused on improving the maintenance of avionics and electronics so we can effect more reliable performance from our military systems. In short - help achieve Mission Assurance with our military systems.
