Details
Test and evaluation (T&E) of military Command, Control, and Information Systems (CIS) is critical to ensuring system effectiveness, reliability, interoperability and suitability in operational environments. This process spans developmental testing to verify technical specifications and operational testing to assess performance under realistic combat conditions, enabling risk reduction, capability validation, and informed decision-making throughout the acquisition lifecycle.
As a world leading provider of military T&E equipment, Rohde & Schwarz will provide a non-commercial that examines best practices, challenges - including testing under contested and degraded conditions - and the role of integrated modeling and simulation approaches in enhancing the accuracy and relevance of T&E for complex military CIS, ultimately supporting mission success and force readiness.
