Abstract
This project provides funds for the maintenance and operations of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division's Major Range and Test Facility Base capabilities used to conduct test and evaluation of air platforms and associated systems. Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division has extensive airfield, flight test ranges, aircraft systems test facilities and simulation laboratories to support aircraft Research Development Test and Evaluation. This includes 50,000 square miles of airspace, 39,375 square miles of sea space, and 7,950 acres of land space. Product areas include aircraft systems flight test and evaluation, carrier suitability certification, test article preparation, installed system test and evaluation, and modeling and simulation support of the acquisition program test requirements. The Test and Evaluation Group, Patuxent River, performs development and operational test and evaluation of manned and unmanned air vehicle systems, including mission systems, equipment, subsystems, components, and support systems. This project also provides test and evaluation facilities for air-breathing propulsion systems and extensive facilities for conducting both installed and uninstalled aircraft engine development and test and evaluation. This project funds costs that are not chargeable to customers.
