In order for a military or aerospace system to operate in an optimal fashion when on the battlefield, it is critical to properly test and evaluate the various solutions.
Serving Military Systems
When we talked to Stephen T. Sargeant, CEO at Marvin Test Solutions, about best practices in the test and evaluation of intelligent military and aerospace subsystems and munitions, Sargeant brought up how Implementing active emulation can bridge the functional test capability gap that current O-level handheld test sets have when used to test current Smart/legacy systems. Next-generation handheld Smart weapon technology is critical to consolidation and modernization of legacy test sets (requiring obsolete handheld and large, multi-box test sets).
Addressing the armament test gap that exists across legacy 4th- and 5th-generation aircraft equipped with Smart weapon technology (MIL-STD-1760), MTS’ MTS-3060A SmartCan Universal O-Level Armament Test Set enables support for any platform and any Smart or legacy armament system. The SmartCan has replaced legacy passive-only test sets with an advanced active-test methodology in more than 12 countries today.
