EDO's Electronic Warfare Test and Evaluation (T&E)

Mission planning

EDO personnel support all phases of Flight Test planning including the translation of defined test requirements into specific mission scenarios and test run-by-run procedures. We produce flight cards for the operators of the Item-Under-Test and for ground and airborne test assets.

Test design

Our engineers have expertise in developing tests that will cause the system under test (SUT) to respond in an expected manner. They can design tests for a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), subsystem, end-to-end system test, a specific threat, or a complete test flight flown against a variety of threats.

Test conduct

EDO engineers are skilled in organizing, controlling, and conducting tests in a variety of environments that include flight test, lab testing, flight line testing, and system installation and checkout.

Pre & post flight testing

We support all phases of systems preflight and post-flight ground testing including troubleshooting, maintenance, and system baseline verification against established standards. We have engineered and manufactured specialized test equipment designed to automate and enhance complicated ground testing procedures.

Anechoic chamber testing

Our engineers have in-depth experience in designing, building, and operating EW and Radar anechoic chambers.

Test range operations

We support Air Force and Navy programs in the identification of test assets required, modes of operation, optimal routes to be flown, and data format and collection requirements.

System Under Test (SUT) analysis

EDO engineers are skilled in:
	Ensuring that facilities used for testing are configured properly to prevent interference that would cause invalid test results.
	Controlling Radio Frequency (RF) and digital test equipment to generate the proper test environment for the SUT.
	Developing tests that manipulate the inputs to the SUT that should cause specific system responses.
	Analyzing SUT test responses as the inputs are manipulated.
	Generating reports that show the SUT performance, detected problems, improper responses, and system parameters during the testing.

SUT installation and checkout

Our engineers and technicians have installed, tested, and maintained radar and EW systems in aircraft, mobile trailers, laboratory facilities, and remote sites.

Flight test report generation

We produce Flight Test Reports as required, including Quick Look, Mission Specific, and Program level reports, written to the technical detail that the requester desires.

Data reduction and analysis

EDO personnel perform data reduction, analysis, and scoring of the SUT performance using state-of-the-art automation and processing techniques.

Threat Simulation and Validation

We provide Threat Simulation and Validation support for military and government organizations.
