Specialized Testing for Real World Scenarios
Testing military equipment is essential to ensure its reliability and effectiveness in order to protect personnel, reduce risks, and ultimately enhance mission success.
Through comprehensive military equipment testing, components are subjected to a variety of extreme environments and scenarios to simulate the stresses they will face in the field. This includes RAMD testing (reliability, availability, maintainability, and durability), which evaluates how well the equipment can withstand continuous use, maintenance cycles, and unexpected failures.
By incorporating durability testing, potential flaws or weaknesses can be identified early, preventing costly or dangerous malfunctions. Rigorous testing processes guarantee that equipment will perform as expected in high-pressure, high-stakes scenarios and that personnel can operate the equipment safely, minimizing risks to both the operators and the mission.

Simulate to Analyze and Predict Outcomes
Simulation is the process of creating a virtual or mathematical model of a real-world system, scenario, or process to study its behaviour under different conditions. It allows users to test, analyze, and predict outcomes without the risks or costs associated with real-life experimentation. Our advanced simulation team uses the Altair Package and Siemens’ StarCCM+ Software to include simulation work in the realm of Discrete Element Method, Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Fluid Structural Interactions, and Multi-Body Dynamics.
Design and Build for Durability
Machines that are built for durability reduce the need for frequent repairs or replacements, saving both initial and ongoing costs for users and manufacturers. Over the machine’s lifetime, maintenance expenses are typically lower, resulting in long-term cost efficiency. Well-built machines function reliably over time, minimizing the chances of breakdowns. This increases user trust in the product, enhances safety, and reduces downtime in critical applications.

Test for Functionality and Performance
If you’re going to fail – fail fast and fail before it matters. Many products must adhere to safety regulations and standards. Testing ensures compliance with these regulations, reducing legal risks and liability for potential harm caused by faulty products. By testing products, you reduce the chances of customer complaints, returns, or negative reviews.
High-quality, tested products build customer trust and loyalty, contributing to long-term success. PAMI is equipped to perform all types of functionality and performance testing.

A Quick Case Study
Landmines are a part of modern day warfare and their impact lasts long after the war is over. In the early 2000’s, PAMI was contracted to engineer, fabricate and test a piece of equipment to detonate underground landmines. The team at PAMI used their collective agriculture experience and knowledge to re-think a tracked 4WD tractor. Here you will see that the cab of the original machine was completely removed and rotated 180 degrees. Complete steel encasement and additional safety features were installed to protect not only the user but the unit itself.
