ACETEF, the Navy’s fully integrated RDT&E Installed Systems Test facility, provides full spectrum evaluation of highly integrated aircraft and aircraft systems in a secure controlled engineering environment
Air Combat Environment Test and Evaluation Facility
EA-18G Development
• Networked systems within ACETEF provided dynamic, repeatable, realistic, hardware-in-the-loop simulations for EA-18G AEA systems testing
– Systems provided scenario control, emitter stimulation, and aircraft navigation inputs for design reference scenario
– Full Link 16 network– Future testing (July 07) to incorporate
satellite broadcasts and communications threat simulators into integrated scenario
• Combined capabilities allowed both subsystem performance testing and a robust crew-vehicle interface evaluation in a realistic environment
– HWIL provided system performance variables missing in standalone flight simulators
– Provided a more distributed and robust threat environment than available on open-air ranges (and at a fraction of the cost)
– Repeatability of simulation allowed isolation of variables affecting mission accomplishment
– Used both for discovering problems pre-flight and for characterizing problems post-flight
• End result – Allowed effective and efficient characterization of complex system issues early in the development cycle
