Diversified Technical Systems - DTS

Diversified Technical Systems - DTS DTS is the leader in data recorders & sensors for occupant safety and product testing in automotive, biomechanics, aerospace and military.

From their very first projects, DTS founders Steve Pruitt, Mike Beckage and Tim Kippen aimed to be different. Instead of making customers conform their needs to a static product, DTS created custom data acquisition systems that were built from scratch and uniquely structured to reflect the client's specifications. In 1995, DTS created its first modular data acquisition system called TDAS. It was a

n innovative, fully-featured and simple way to collect test data for occupant and vehicle safety applications. In 1999, DTS reached a key milestone when it was awarded the contract to develop the first in-dummy DAS system for WorldSID, which brought DTS worldwide recognition in the crash community. Throughout these developments, the DTS team never lost sight of a simple but critical ingredient to success-listening. After a visit where the General Motors team identified additional features that would make TDAS ideal for their purposes, the DTS team returned the next month with a new system that included all of those features. The resulting sale was-and to this day, still is-the largest single order in crash-test market history. Today, DTS continues to develop innovative new products and is globally recognized in many industries as a leading provider of advanced measurement solutions.

As the Artemis II mission prepares for splashdown off the coast of San Diego, Mike Beckage shared DTS’s long history with NASA leading up to this historic moment. DTS began working with NASA more than two decades ago to help support this milestone. Artemis II is especially significant because no humans had traveled beyond Earth orbit since 1972.

Here’s a quick look at the DTS-NASA timeline:

2002: NASA begins using TDAS PRO for Orion capsule testing
2016: Interest begins in TSR PRO for crew seat acceleration testing
2019: SLICE NANO supports parachute asymmetry testing
2020: Delivery of 10 crew seat accelerometers (TSR PRO units)
2022: TSR PRO data loggers fly onboard Artemis I to the Moon and back
2026: Artemis II launches on April 1 with a TSR PRO mounted to each of the four astronaut seats

DTS is proud to support testing that helps advance human spaceflight and astronaut safety. Here's to a safe splashdown!!
