Systems Test Integration Lab
OBJECTIVE Provide instrumentation capable of
immersing aircraft, its systems and aircrew, in a
controlled, repeatable and distributed virtual
environment to enhance test capability, augment
open air testing, and to mitigate program risk,
cost, schedule.

Large Capacity 6-DOF Motion Replication
OBJECTIVE Conduct transportation and operational
vibration tests on a variety of shelters,
equipment racks, sensor systems, missile systems,
aviation systems etc., that are too large for
existing 6-DOF exciters - with the focus being on
payload performance. The 6-DOF system will be
installed in the dynamics test facility building
which already contains core infrastructure
including a reaction mass and instrumentation
backbone compatible for this system.
