DDA-S, DDA-E and DDA-H PFM Ready for Shipment to Japan

We are pleased to announce that the DDA Sensor (DDA-S), the DDA E-Box (DDA-E) and the DDA Harness (DDA-H) Proto Flight Models have successfully completed their final integration and preparation activities at the IRS facility and are now ready for shipment to Japan. After an intensive development, assembly and verification phase, the Proto Flight Models are leaving the IRS and beginning their journey to the next stage of the project. The shipment marks an important milestone and reflects the excellent collaboration and dedication of everyone involved in the development and qualification process.

The systems have undergone extensive testing and final inspections before transport. With the completion of these activities, the hardware is now carefully prepared for international shipment and handover.

We are looking forward to the continued cooperation with our partners in Japan and to supporting the upcoming integration and testing activities on site.

This shipment represents another important step forward for the mission and highlights the successful progress of the DDA program.
