Test and Evaluation Support
Abstract
Test facilities, capabilities and resources operated through this program include wind tunnels, rocket and jet engine test cells, armament test ranges, hardware-in-the-loop test facilities, climatic test facilities, avionics test facilities, aircraft testbeds, dry lakebed landing sites, instrumented test ranges, civilian payroll, and contractor services. It also provides resources for maintaining and modifying as required Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) assigned test and test support coded aircraft. No acquisition contracts are funded from this program; test support contracts for services and supplies and equipment are predominantly awarded on the basis of full and open competition. This program is in Budget Activity 6, RDT&E Management Support, because this budget activity includes research, development, test, and evaluation efforts and funds to sustain and/or modernize the installations or operations required for general research, development, test and evaluation.
