PARIS -  Seica SpA has signed a licensing agreement to add a third level optional testing capability to the EADS Test & Services line of second level systems, ATEC Series 6 and derived products. Users will have the ability, after LRU testing, to confirm the SRU to be diagnosed faulty and be sent back for repair on the same test equipment and with a comprehensive test process.
 
Seica's offering is based on the VALID Module Test Unit (MTU), a self-contained board level subsystem hosted and controlled by the Series 6.
 
EADS provides commercial avionics testing. According to a press release, the company is the leader for French weapon systems testing, supplying the French MoD with multi-purpose, high performance testers.

Credit Suisse First Boston's reporting of a 'hint of a possibility' that we may exit this business is just plain wrong.
