The current and projected emphasis on declining budgets, reduced staffs, and tightened schedules, while trying to maintain or improve productivity, dictates a new approach to TE that takes advantage of the ongoing technology explosion. Automation and standardization, combined with analysis and high technology simulation options, permit a new look at traditional Developmental Testing (DT). This proposed concept, called Integrated New Test Aircraft Capability (INTAC), involves using a high-fidelity, physical model based, generic structure simulation to certify the aircraft in a virtual environment, and using the aircraft to certify the simulation model. INTAC includes supporting, enhancing, augmenting, and ultimately automating traditional TE and making this capability available at the pilot/engineer work area. INTAC promises to reinvent TE by allowing test team members to do testing better, faster, cheaper, and safer. A high fidelity virtual air vehicle life cycle simulation capability, like INTAC, also gives the program manager better information on how to optimize the application of scarce future test dollars.
