Anechoic Test Facility

The Anechoic Test Facility is a versatile test environment offering research & development opportunities for a range of aircraft, vehicles and systems.

Environmental Test Centre

Throughout their life span, all Ordnance, Munitions and Explosive (OME) assets will be subjected to many and varied environmental conditions, but must still perform as intended when functioned.

Environmental Test Facility

The Environmental Test Facility is widely used by a variety of military and commercial organisations to simulate the extreme conditions that equipment must be able to operationally withstand.

Hurn Proving Ground

When realistic and challenging on and off-road trials are required, QinetiQ’s Hurn Proving Ground has it all.

Land Magnetic Range

Magnetic Assessment Services are on the magnetically clean site at MOD Portland Bill, Dorset. Facilities include a Land Magnetic Range, which simulates the magnetic field at any point on the earth’s surface, to measure the effect on equipment.

Night Vision Systems Test House

The Night Vision Systems Test House provides a safe and controlled, spectrally correct environment for electro-optic assessments of systems in a variety of aircraft.

Shock Testing Facility

It is imperative that equipment and systems within an operational warship have a proven reliability to operate during hostile engagements, and that any installation is fit for purpose and does not compromise other systems or endanger the crew.
