Test Equipment Development

Abstract

This project supports development and demonstration of state-of-the-art calibration standards and techniques, and upgrades/improvements to existing Army calibration systems. It provides for feasibility studies, market research, inventory analyses, bid sample testing, and prototyping to support calibration systems and general-purpose test and diagnostic equipment acquisitions. Primary efforts under this project include development of calibration software, development of calibration capability for chemical and biological agent detection systems, improvement of test and measurement equipment performance envelopes via product improvements, and development/evaluation of advance technology and higher reliability calibration systems and general-purpose test, measurement and diagnostic equipment (TMDE). Product improvements are underway to current test and measurement systems to overcome deficiencies and voids in existing organic capabilities and to ensure the operational readiness, accuracy, effectiveness, and safety of Army weapons and combat support systems. These improvements will employ reconfigurable open electronics architecture and computer-based instrumentation wherever feasible and will be focused on reducing the test equipment footprints to improve deployability and mobility in areas of operation.
