TRAK Capabilities

TRAK is located in Tampa, Florida USA, on ten acres of land adjacent to the TampaInternational Airport and operates within a newly renovated 125,000 square footmanufacturing facility. TRAK Microwave’s philosophy supports consistent control ofthe manufacturing process, which guarantees excellent performance, cost efficiencies and timely deliveries to meet the critical demands of Build-to-Print customers. TRAK’s operational capacity enables the efficient manufacture and delivery of high mix, low to medium volume assemblies. Their philosophy provides a controlled evolution of applied RF technology from which all TRAK customers benefit.

TRAK is a financially strong company whose position is to fully understand the customer’s requirements with total commitment to meet or exceed them. TRAKaccomplishes customer goals by drawing on their extensive in-house capabilitiesand processes. Each assembly line has access to all in-house resources, whichuniquely positions TRAK to offer an extraordinary variety of production and testservices.

TRAK teams with their customers to meet cost goals by mutually investing in costsaving designs, entering into long term business relationships, identifying optimumrun rates and by using material purchasing agreements.

TRAK’s legacy centers on the design and fabrication of complex microwave assemblies and related products for defense, space and commercial applications.Major subsystems currently produced include oscillators, multipliers, comb generators, frequency converters, receivers, synthesizers and a variety of

multi-function assembles. TRAK produces various types ofmicrowave subsystems as well as many of the components

for such assemblies. This vertical integration benefitsTRAK’s customers with size, cost and delivery and is a

perfect match for Build-to-Print services, technicalexpertise and operational efficiencies.

Markets and Applications

TRAK Microwave Build-to-Print products are found in military aircraft, shipborne, missiles. and ground basedplatforms. Space applications include components forcommunications, meteorological and intelligence gathering satellites. TRAK commercial products are usedin point-to-point radio, wireless base stations, privateradio systems, collision avoidance systems, distance measuring equipment and airborne weather radar.These are the primary applications; however TRAK’s standard and custom product portfolio is very broadbased and maybe used in a myriad of high-tech electronic applications.

Electrical Test, Design and Manufacturing

TRAK’s assembly techniques have been developed andperfected over many years and are continually monitored,revised and upgraded to remain current with applicationdemands. Assembly and test techniques include pick andplace automation, hybrid “chip and wire” assembly, as wellas, hand placement of parts. TRAK uses the most current testing methods and equipment available in the industry.

TRAK’s in-house design and fabrication capability for assembly and test fixtures provide our customers with convenience as well as cost benefits. Each assembly is tested and visually inspected to ensure it was manufacturedin accordance with applicable standards. The manufacturingprocess has an employee involved SPC program whererecords are collected and analyzed on a regular basis toidentify variations in processes. This provides valuable feedback to the manufacturing staff for TRAK’s continuousimprovement plans. TRAK’s versatile design software allowscustom units to be produced with a high confidence factor.

Processes

Program management is involved from the conception including the negotiation process thus ensuring thoroughcommunication at the earliest stages. All of the contractrequirements are reviewed at pre-order entry. Next, a salesorder containing all of the pertinent information is generatedin TRAK’s enterprise system to create necessary productionand inspection criteria.

TRAK’s policy is to competitively bid material purchases.For common materials utilized on various programs, pricing agreements are established to reduce material costs.Purchasing is constantly evaluating material costs and investigating alternate sources.

TRAK consistently exceeds expectations for continuousimprovement with sustained positive trends with resultslinked to specific process improvements. TRAK’s approachprovides flexible processes and anticipates future customerrequirements.

Material Control

As part of their enterprise system, TRAK has a fully functional ERP system for scheduling, tracking and controlof material. Lot and serial control is available whenrequired. TRAK maintains documentation controls consistent with industry standards, or as required on individual contracts.

Standards include procedures for Engineering ChangeNotices (ECNs), changes to customer controlled drawingsand general configuration management Customer reviewand approval of modifications are supported.

Performance and Repeatability

All RF parameters, such as phase noise, isolation andintermodulation are routinely tested on automated teststations within the facility, allowing quick analysis oflarge amounts of data. It is TRAK’s objective to provideassemblies that meet or exceed the customer specifications for electrical performance over the fullrange of environmental conditions. Electrical performance and repeatability are demonstrated throughqualification testing, LRIP (low rate initial production) and100% electrical test of critical parameters in production.TRAK uses automated or manual testing in accordancewith standardized or custom written test procedures and software. Most equipment is calibrated in accordancewith MIL-STD-45662A, ANSI/NCSL and Z540-1-1994.

Quality Assurance

TRAK’s Quality Assurance System is based on ISO-9001and meets the requirements of MIL-Q-9858A and MIL-I-45208A. TRAK facilities are registered to ISO 9001:2000 and AS9100 and continue to successfullypass semiannual audits. Quality Assurance operationsaddress incoming inspections, in-process inspections,final inspections, including data analysis and correctiveaction programs to ensure high quality products.

Quality control is actively involved with manufacturingoperations to monitor SPC trends and determine effectivecorrective actions, facilitate the material review boards, engineering change boards and new product releaseboards. Quality Assurance provides the failure analysisand trends tracking for customer returns.

Staff

TRAK staff has a complete understanding of their organization and how this supports the overall missionof the company and its customers. Customers are givendirect points of contact in program management andcontracts administration, which yields outstandingcommunication and timely problem resolution.

Production employees receive a variety of in-house training applicable to their jobs including courses in J-STD soldering, NASA soldering, ESD, Hazmat, documentation use, rework processes and OJT. TRAKensures that employees are cross trained for criticalneeds and support. TRAK’s turn over rate consistentlyranks significantly lower than industry and location standards reported.

TRAK maintains a first and second shift that is capable ofrapid expansion, which would significantly increasecapacity. In addition, TRAK has the ability to operate athird shift when needed to meet increasing demand.

TRAK’s quality philosophy conforms to a 6 Sigma program.Production data is collected, analyzed, acted on and monitored for improvement to complete the program. Inspection stations in the process, SPC teams and certified operators make up the program.

TRAK’s Continuous Improvement Program (CIP) goals are measured by the results of the following keyperformance indicators.
