The Live Fire group plans, observes and analyzes realistic testing of the survivability and lethality of covered weapon systems on the DOT&E oversight list. Covered systems include missiles; munitions; directed-energy weapons; and major systems that are user-occupied, designed to provide some degree of protection to its occupants in combat, or of special interest. We provide timely and reasonable assessments of the systems’ survivability and lethality as they progress through the development process toward a production decision. Specific areas of expertise include:
- Ground Combat and Support Vehicles
- Surface Ships, Submarines and Naval Weapons
- Fixed-Wing Aircraft
- Antiaircraft Weapons
- Land Attack Weapons
- Aircraft Weapons
- Ballistic Missile Defense
- Rotary-Wing Aircraft
- Personal Protective Equipment
- Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems
