Aerospace and Defense - Direct Field Acoustic Testing

DFAN Master Class | April 15-17th, 2025

The Aerospace and Defense Direct Field Acoustic Noise (DFAN) Master Class is a 3-day live training. It brings the attendees together around an impressive tower of powerful loudspeakers, where theoretical presentations are supported by live demonstrations of DFAN tests on a real structural model of a satellite. The Aerospace and Defense DFAN master class is designed for the spacecraft testing community eager to expand their knowledge of spacecraft acoustic testing.
