Test Equipment Development

Abstract

This Project supports modernization of calibration instruments, techniques, and existing Army calibration systems by investigating technology insertions including automated and autonomous operations and other emerging technologies. Funding also supports developing initial prototypes to enable refinement of Operational Requirements and early user feedback to support future calibration systems and general-purpose test, measurement and diagnostic equipment (TMDE) acquisitions. This project develops calibration software and calibration capability for electro-optical, chemical, biological agent, radiation sourcing and detection systems, signal measurement from direct current to microwave ranges, physical and mechanical measurements such as torque, pressure, and temperature, and improvements in test and measurement 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 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 footprints to improve deployability and mobility in areas of operation.
