Test Equipment Development
Abstract
This project supports development and demonstration of state-of-the-art calibration standards and techniques, and it upgrades/improves existing Army calibration systems. The project provides feasibility studies, market research, inventory analyses, bid sample testing, and prototyping to support calibration systems and general-purpose test, measurement and diagnostic equipment (TMDE) acquisitions. The primary effort of this project is development of calibration software; calibration capability for chemical, biological agent, radiation sourcing and detection systems; signal measurement and generation from direct current to microwave ranges; physical and mechanical measurements such as torque, pressure and temperature; and improvements in test and measurement equipment performance envelopes. This project provides for product improvements and development/evaluation of advanced technologies to increase reliability of calibration systems and general-purpose TMDE. The product improvements eliminate gaps in existing organic capabilities and ensure operational readiness, accuracy, effectiveness, and safety of Army weapons and combat support systems. These improvements employ reconfigurable open-electronics architecture and computer-based instrumentation where feasible and focus on reduced test equipment footprint to improve deployability and mobility in areas of operation.
