TACTICAL SYSTEMS
In the Tactical Systems mission, assists the Department of Defense in improving the acquisition and employment of various tactical air and counterterrorist systems by helping the U.S. military understand the operational utility and limitations of advanced technologies. Activities focus on a combination of systems analysis to assess technology impact in operationally relevant scenarios, rapid development and instrumentation of prototype U.S. and threat systems, and detailed, realistic, instrumented testing. A tight coupling between the Laboratory’s efforts and the DoD sponsors and warfighters involved in these efforts ensures that these analyses and prototype systems are relevant and beneficial to the warfighter.
The Laboratory has developed several quick-reaction counterterrorism capabilities that
have been transitioned to operational demonstration and use.
