Recent combat experience has brought to light a critical need to assess the mission effectiveness of Naval aviation weapons systems and vehicles against a myriad of new threats. Flight testing is the primary source of data on the effectiveness of our aircraft and weapons, but flight testing is costly and limited to only a few of the most crucial questions. Flight testing is also inherently a public event; it can be observed with impunity. Hence, flight testing is patently unsatisfactory for dealing with many issues related to national security interests. Senior decision-makers in the DoD require objective, quantitative assessments of the effectiveness of our weapons and people against literally thousands of possible combinations of threat and contingency planning conditions. A revolutionary approach is needed to obtain the requisite data. The Naval Air Test Center (NATC) has begun to develop an innovative system, known as the Air Combat Environment Test and Evaluation Facility (ACETEF), to meet this need. ACETEF is a fully integrated ground test facility that will use state-of-the-art simulation and stimulation techniques to provide test scenarios, which will reproduce the conditions of actual combat. This is being accomplished by integration of existing laboratories and development of new laboratories such as the Communications, Navigation and Identification (CNI) Laboratory and the Offensive Sensors Laboratory (OSL). This paper will describe ACETEF and the OSL development effort. 1 ref., 2 figs.
