Test and Evaluation: A Proposed Framework for Measuring the Use of Test Facilities

Abstract

Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) ranges comprises large land, sea, and air masses that are divided into various test sites. Generic equipment and instrumentation, such as tracking radars, can be found throughout the ranges, while individual test sites contain equipment and instrumentation required for specific types of tests. The ranges are used for such purposes as testing aircraft, bombs, and missiles; tanks and other tracked vehicles; ordnance; and environmental effects on weapon systems and underwater tests of munitions.
