A-Systems

A-Systems was founded in 1975 by Floyd Artrip, a native Virginian with a background in both Engineering and Management. Mr. Artrip holds degrees from The University of Virginia and The George Washington University. He drew on his engineering experience working for Sperry Marine Systems, Melpar and Ridge Electronics to establish A-Systems with the g... oal to develop new products for our customers utilizing state-of-the-art technology. A-Systems was incorporated in 1976 in Ivy, Virginia and in 1978 relocated to a 1700 square foot facility in Charlottesville. The next major move was in 1985 when we occupied a new 4500 square foot facility. In 1999 we were certified to ISO 9001. In 2003 we moved to a 11,000 square foot facility where we are currently located. Our Engineering staff has a track record of successful development of projects ranging from switching power supplies to personal computer based biomedical instruments. We have designed microprocessor motor controllers, optical positioning systems, acoustic intrusion detection devices, voltage-to-frequency converters,voice encryption equipment, optical lens grinder controls and heart rate monitors for premature infants. Other products include battery chargers, monolithic integrated circuits and controls for mobile radios. Our Engineering staff has had additional experience during earlier assignments. This includes design of active and passive airborne and shipboard RADAR, ECM, ECCM, Acoustic and infrared intrusion detection systems, high speed computer printers, LSI chip designs and servo mechanisms. Additional experience includes communications interface circuitry, electronic systems for submarine periscopes, control systems for drone aircraft and helicopters, drone aircraft surveillance and RADAR jamming systems, missile tracking systems, voltage-tuned magnetron jammers and microwave antenna designs. In addition, we draw on a cadre of hardware and software engineers from the local community as projects demand. We have been manufacturing products containing ...Read More
