Electronic Warfare facilities
20 facilities across 6 states
Acquisition and Logistics Management
Seal Beach, CA
The Acquisition and Logistics Management Branch provides a full range of management and technical services for General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment (GPETE), Mechanical Instrumentation, Calibration Standards and Spare Parts.
Advanced Navigation Laboratory
Eglin AFB, FL
Research and develop tactical inertial navigation hardware, embedded global positioning system (GPS)/inertial systems, and GPS/inertial integration with optical systems. Characterize and validate the navigation performance of advanced tactical-grade inertial technologies. Conduct research of inertial transfer alignment methods, GPS phenomenology studies, and advanced control (cooperative and autonomous) technologies.
Advanced Tactical Electronic Warfare Environment Simulator (ATEWES)
Washington, DC
Air Force Electronic Warfare Evaluation Simulator
Edwards AFB, CA
Testing is conducted at actual frequencies, in real-time, and incorporates hostile effects in a dense radar and infrared environment. This provides an effectiveness evaluation of radar warning receivers, radio frequency and infrared jammers, chaff, flares, towed decoys, evasive maneuvers and combinations of these EC systems and techniques.
Airborne Electronic Warfare Facility
Crane, IN
Defensive Information Warfare
Rome, NY
The objectives of the Defensive Information Warfare Facility are: 1) Develop and integrate promising technologies from multiple disciplines to provide Information Assurance (IA) and Information Operations (IO) capabilities; 2) Demonstrate the integration of IFG DIW-related efforts; and 3) Develop and sustain a hands-on base of expertise in computer network attack and defense.
Electronic Warfare Directorate
Edwards AFB, CA
The Electronic Warfare Directorate has full electronic warfare test and evaluation capabilities to meet mission-specific requirements. Extensive test facilities include the Test and Evaluation Modeling and Simulation facility, systems integration laboratories for software test and integration, hardware-in-the-loop facilities to evaluate the effectiveness of EW systems and tactics, and installed systems test facilities, such as the Benefield Anechoic Facility. Open air ranges, flight test and measurement facilities provide antenna performance and aircraft radio frequency and infrared signature test and evaluation capabilities.
Electronics Electro-Mechanical & Prototype Fabrication Facility
Picatinny Arsenal, NJ
ARDEC Precision Munitions and Instrumentation Division has been in the prototype development arena since the team’s inception in the early 1950’s. Since then, the concept of "prototype development" has been taken to new levels. Capabilities include surface mount, through-hole technologies and hand finished work. Electro-mechanical, cable and harness assembly are additional services that we provide. Complete electrical test and evaluation are available. The team has expertise in packaging, from commercial to military high G applications, packaging multiple, complex components into a single package effectively and efficiently. Experience also includes packaging other pre-engineered systems.
EW Flight Test Ranges
Edwards AFB, CA
The electronic warfare flight test ranges – Electronic Combat Range and Nellis Range Complex – are instrumented and populated with high-fidelity, manned or unmanned threat simulators. Additional emitter-only threat simulators are used to provide high signal density, typical of operational electronic warfare environments.

Test and Evaluation Modeling and Simulation
Edwards AFB, CA
The DIADS at TEMS, will provide a hardware-in-the-loop capability for evaluating operational effectiveness of electronic combat components in a real-time simulated enemy integrated air defense systems (IADS) environment. DIADS is the follow-on core simulation system of the Real-time Electromagnetic Digitally Controlled Analyzer Processor (REDCAP) facility which was previously located in Buffalo, New York. The new DIADS facility at Edwards will incorporate the hardware-in-the-loop subsystems previously located at REDCAP. The hardware-in-the-loop subsystems allow man-in-the-loop operations within the IADS command and control structure.
