We help customers gather the information they require to make critical GBAD procurement decisions that meet their capability requirements and cover any gaps. In addition to providing specialist test and evaluation facilities and advice, we work alongside customer teams to execute trials.
We are able to support:
- Concept development and testing
- Trials development and firings on UK Ranges including the provision of targets
- Technology assessments of all components of a system of systems – including those of competitor systems
Our comprehensive expertise ranges across the entire GBAD capability – including sensors and radars, engagement networks, weapons systems, effectors, target identification systems, information systems and command and control systems.
Our plug-in test and reference solution combines real and synthetic environments, which enables customers to test with sensor, effector and C4I models, as well as real effectors including guns and missiles.
