Some of our incredible flight test engineers and experimental test pilots at the U.S. Army Redstone Test Center served on the Combined Test Team to assist in the Launched Effects-Medium Range flight test!

This team provided the vital framework for collaborative test planning, ex*****on, and reporting. Their efforts ensured a comprehensive evaluation of this game-changing capability—reducing redundant testing and expediting delivery to the warfighter.

Way to go, team! 👏

As the U.S. Department of War prepares to field more driverless vehicles and systems, ATEC is actively testing these autonomous platforms and their software to ensure we provide the best tools for our warfighters. 💻

The Autonomous Systems Test Capability (ASTC), located at the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center, is key to helping the U.S. Army accelerate testing, provide critical data to decision-makers, and rapidly field systems. ⚡️

By utilizing advanced modeling and simulation, ASTC runs hundreds of scenarios on autonomous software before a physical prototype is ever built. Through digital twins of vehicles, sensors, and terrain, we can rigorously test autonomous vehicles in a highly realistic virtual environment. This virtual simulation reduces live-testing risks and identifies complex edge cases, helping determine exactly which scenarios require validation in a live-field environment.

U.S. Army White Sands Missile Range recently hosted a historic, dual-purpose ceremony: the Relinquishment of Command for COL Matthew Johnson and the casing of colors to officially deactivate the White Sands Test Center.

As part of an U.S. Army-wide transformation, ATEC has reorganized the Range and the Test Center into a single, unified organization to boost operational efficiency and enhance customer experience.

While we bid farewell and thank COL Johnson for his outstanding service, operations will continue without interruption as we remain dedicated to our critical mission of supporting the warfighter. 🪖
