Are your systems mission-ready?
Before deploying, demanding and realistic test and evaluation (T&E) of your weapon and electronic warfare systems must be performed. For thorough T&E projects, you’ll need a large, restricted area and the right infrastructure to meet your testing needs – both in the air and on the ground.
New weapons, modifications of existing weapons or modifications of weapon-related interfaces of your airborne platform will all require validation of both the weapon platform and weapon system. From firing an automatic gun to dropping a large live bomb or firing long-range missiles to stand-off weapons, FMV T&E has the technical competence and know-how to support your operations.

Complex weapon T&E in safe hands
We provide one point of contact who manages all the necessities required for the optimal project. With an experienced team of specialists that develop, prepare and execute complex T&E scenarios on a day-to-day basis, you can rely on us to have the staff and resources to fully meet your needs. Together, we make sure that you get the best out of each test scenario.
Advanced airborne weapon system T&E scenarios
At FMV T&E, tracking and documenting system performance from deployment to target scoring with high precision is part of our daily work. We offer the capacity, land and air space and T&E experience to validate your system’s performance, with realistic targets on the ground and in the air. To make your scenarios more complex, we can also introduce chaffs, flares and GPS or radar jamming.
FMV T&E offers the following main scenarios for weapon systems. An electronic warfare environment can also be added to perform T&E under jammed conditions, if and when required.
Air to air
Launch airborne weapons towards other air targets using beyond-visual-range (BVR) weapons with live warheads and advanced in-house target drones — all in realistic scenarios. We document weapons separation, trajectory and target impact. Telemetry (TM) and Flight Termination Systems (FTS) are also available.
Air to surface
Launch airborne weapons towards surface targets using live warheads, which include laser-guided weapons. Fire on customised fixed or moving targets, such as our remotely piloted vehicles, which can be illuminated with lasers. We document weapon separation, trajectory and target impact. GPS jamming can also be performed on your platform and weapon during the flight and weapon release. Complete Telemetry (TM) and Flight Termination System (FTS) coverage over the whole range are a given.

Realistic scenarios for your electronic warfare T&E
Whether you require real systems, stimulators, simulators or emulators, we can tailor a realistic scenario with surprise factors for your actual needs and plan out the most effective T&E or tactical training. FMV T&E also has the facilities and infrastructure to offer electronic warfare training on a tactical level, with the performance of live electronic warfare jamming.
We also offer training scenarios that can be combined with your test project.

Test and evaluation of countermeasure and dispensing systems
To be prepared for future missions and challenges, verifying the functionality of your countermeasure and dispensing systems (CMDS) is crucial. At FMV T&E, you can do just this. Simulation of countermeasure aerodynamics, such as chaff and flare trajectories, to ensure safe separation or having FOD (Foreign Object Damage) entering the engines, is followed by both ground and flight trials.
