• Ground Test: Where Lethality is Designed

    Before an aircraft ever flies, before a weapon system is put through its paces in the open air, it meets reality in a quieter, more controlled setting: ground test. But don’t let the name fool you. This isn’t just about data collection. This is where design decisions live or die. Where digital

  • Modeling and Simulation – Exploring Lethality Before It’s Built

    Before a new weapon system is ever built, flown or fired, it begins in a simulated environment digitally constructed, dynamically tested and refined in real time. This is the domain of modeling and simulation, the critical first phase in the development of lethality within the Air Force Test
