ATC’s new skills course developed for military vehicle operators
The power of partnership: Turning Challenges into capabilities
Mission
The U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center provides test and test support services including talented expertise, instrumentation, and ranges that generate strategic decisions and equip our warfighters to fight and win our nation’s wars. With over 100 years of experience, we support entire system lifecycle development from early prototypes to system production, deployment, sustainment, and disposal.
Vision
ONE TEAM of highly skilled professionals who are trusted partners to warfighting materiel developers, enabling rapid development of cutting-edge systems that transforms our military into a global dominating force.
Product
Data that drives warfighting decisions.
Impact
Our Nation’s Warfighters have the equipment needed to fight and win.
As a subordinate of the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command, ATC is actively welcoming partners in academia and industry. Streamlined policies now empower local commanders to grant range access quickly, reducing costs so innovators can iterate, provide data to our decision makers and deliver solutions to our U.S. Warfighters.
