Test Technology Design & Development (T2D2) Lab
T2D2 provides advanced technology development capabilities that significantly enhance the effectiveness of EPG’s testing operations. The laboratory supports Test Officers by integrating and synthesizing innovative technologies that are not otherwise available, enabling solutions tailored to the complex demands of testing cutting-edge Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C5I), Electronic Warfare (EW), and Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (APNT) systems. These systems are often geographically dispersed and must operate reliably under extreme environmental conditions.
