The MSC Application Research Center (US)
The MSC Application Research Centre (ARC) in Detroit, USA, is our central facility for in-house engineering services. At the ARC, we have test and product development labs, engineering simulation facilities, test chambers and state-of-the-art testing hardware and software.
In addition to the latest in test equipment and applications, this solution facility has dedicated expert staff on hand to help gain insights, find effective engineering strategies and train users.
Millbrook Proving Grounds (MPG)
Our European team is based at the Millbrook Proving Ground, in Bedfordshire, UK.
At MPG, we have our state-of-the-art NVH Simulator, a hemi-anechoic chamber, hundreds of data acquisition channels and access to the test tracks for all types of vehicle testing. The test facilities are used for traditional, electric propulsion and drivetrain - from components and sub-assemblies to the full vehicle.
