Overview
This advanced course is designed to prepare military test professionals, engineers and evaluators for the planning, execution and analysis of Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) of mission-critical systems. A particular focus is placed on Operational Suitability Evaluations, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills required to assess whether a system is ready and safe for operational use under real-world mission conditions.
The curriculum includes theoretical foundations and extensive practical training in both laboratory and flight environments. The course aligns with military-specific European procurement and budgetary frameworks, ensuring that all methodologies reflect the unique demands of defense acquisition and validation processes in Europe.
