Test & Evaluation Support

Prove Your System Works in Real Conditions

New sensors, payloads, communications equipment, and maritime technologies need more than lab validation - they need to perform on vessels, in weather, under operational constraints. This program provides the at-sea test environment, safety management, instrumentation, and documentation to prove your system works with other equipment before you stake operational credibility on it.

Bring your technology. We test it directly on your vessels in the same operational environment where it will be deployed, ensuring seamless integration with your existing systems. Every test is documented with measurable outcomes, so you can brief leadership with confidence and mitigate operational risk before full deployment. Our goal is to turn theoretical capability into proven, mission-ready performance.

WHAT YOU GET

Test Planning & Requirements

We work with your technical team to define test objectives, success criteria, and data collection requirements. What needs to be proven? What failure modes matter? What documentation supports your next milestone? Every test is structured to answer the questions that actually drive decisions.

At-Sea Test Platform

Operational vessels configured to support your equipment integration. Power, mounting points, network connectivity, and workspace for technicians. Real maritime environment—motion, salt spray, temperature variation, and electromagnetic interference that labs can't replicate.

Safety Management & Range Control

Professional safety oversight, risk mitigation planning, and operational coordination. Every test evolution includes safety briefings, emergency procedures, and clear abort criteria. Your team focuses on the technology; we manage the operational environment.

Instrumentation & Data Collection

Performance monitoring, data logging, and event documentation tailored to your test requirements. We capture what you need to prove system performance—sensor outputs, network traffic, timing data, environmental conditions, and integration behavior.

Test Execution Support

Experienced personnel who understand both maritime operations and technical testing. We coordinate test scenarios, manage vessel operations, troubleshoot issues in real time, and document results as they happen.

Data Package & Report

Organized test data, performance analysis, findings, and recommendations delivered in formats that work for technical reviews, program offices, and proposal teams. Clean documentation you can brief or submit without translation.

WHAT WE TEST

Sensors & Payloads

Radar systems, electro-optical sensors, acoustic systems, environmental monitors, and specialized detection equipment. Integration testing that proves sensors work with vessel systems and deliver usable data.

Communications Systems

Radio equipment, satellite communications, network systems, and data links. Testing that verifies performance under operational conditions, proves interoperability, and measures bandwidth and latency.

Command & Control Systems

C2 software, mission management tools, situational awareness displays, and decision support systems. Validation that interfaces work, data flows correctly, and operators can actually use the system underway.

Unmanned Systems Integration

UAV/UAS launch and recovery, autonomous surface vessel coordination, and unmanned system command and control. Testing that proves platforms work together and can be operationally employed.

TEST SCENARIOS

Functional Verification

Basic system operation and interface testing. Proves equipment powers up, interfaces connect, and basic functions operate as designed.

Performance Characterization

Quantitative measurement of system performance under controlled conditions. Establishes baseline capabilities and performance envelopes.

Integration Testing

Multi-system testing that proves your equipment works with existing vessel systems, networks, and operations. Identifies interface issues and compatibility problems.

Operational Stress Testing

Testing under realistic conditions - weather, vessel motion, operational tempo, and electromagnetic environment. Proves system reliability when conditions aren't perfect.

WHO THIS SERVES

Defense Contractors & Integrators

Risk-retiring test venues for sensor systems, C2 equipment, communications gear, and payloads before program reviews or operational deployment. Data packages that support proposals and milestone decisions.

Technology Developers

At-sea validation for maritime technologies transitioning from lab to operational use. Testing that proves commercial or developmental systems can handle real maritime conditions.

Program Offices

Independent test and evaluation support for acquisition programs. Objective assessment of system performance and integration with existing platforms and equipment.

Research & Development Organizations

Test environments for experimental systems, prototype technologies, and concept validation. Operational data collection that informs development decisions.

INTEGRATION OPTIONS

Flexible integration that works with your assets, your timeline, and your command structure.

Standard Integration Testing

We conduct comprehensive testing aboard your vessels, integrating with your existing operational infrastructure. You provide the platform and technology; we provide test management, instrumentation support, safety oversight, and documentation services.

Multi-System Integration Testing

Coordinate testing across multiple systems or vendors on your vessels, providing neutral facilitation and documentation that supports program-level decisions.

Progressive Test Campaigns

Start with basic functional tests, then build complexity as systems prove capable. Risk-managed approach that catches problems early before investing in complex scenarios.

WHY THIS WORKS

We've supported tests where systems performed perfectly in labs but failed at sea because no one accounted for antenna placement, power quality, or network latency in real conditions. We've seen equipment that worked great as a standalone system but crashed when integrated with existing vessel networks. This program catches those problems before they become program delays or operational failures. We structure tests to answer the questions that program managers and operators actually ask:

  • Does it work?

  • Does it work with other gear?

  • Can crews use it?

  • Will it survive at sea?

Every test produces defensible data and honest assessment—not advocacy for your system, but proof of what it can and can't do.
