The major objective of Flight Testing under extreme environmental conditions is to determine to what extent a weapon system, including its essential support equipment and attendant crews can accomplish the design mission in the required climatic extremes, using Techical Order procedures. Such testing has historically often revealed design deficiencies that impact the operational capabilities of the air vehicle involved. This volume in the AGARD Flight Test Techniques Series discusses the philosophy, purpose and methods for conducting ground and flight tests of weapon systems in extreme environment conditions. The areas considered include testing in a controlled artificial environment, as well as cold arctic, hot desert, tropic, and adverse-weather conditions. Also included are the technical and safety aspects of planning, instrumentation, and data acquisition requirements, types of tests conducted and reporting requirements.
