To develop a laboratory for the testing and evaluation of integrated systems and electronic components systems on aircraft prior to flight test. This lab will enhance the Army's ability to rapidly, accurately and efficiently perform developmental testing on new and modernized aircraft and their integrated systems.
DESCRIPTION:
The STIL project will develop two major test capabilities composed of test suites and test control center infrastructure, each with its own specific operational requirements:
An Aviation STIL with a reconfigurable cockpit that will be used for aviation systems platform testing at the Aviation Technical Test Center, Huntsville, AL
A smaller Weapons STIL that will be used for aviation weapons platform testing at Yuma Proving Ground, Yuma, AZ
