Advancing Digitally Enabled T&E

Overview: QinetiQ is effectively engaged in exploitation of digital Test and Evaluation (D T&E) to support our customers’ challenges and delivering capability in their undersea warfare missions.

Context: Digitally enhanced T&E capabilities can offer a range of support to underwater missions and exercises to reduce the costs and failure risks along with ensuring the protection of human lives, pertinent assets, and sovereign capabilities.

Purpose: QinetiQ’s Underwater Robotics team has been working to provide complex state-of-the-art digital T&E capabilities to support undersea surveillance, undersea combat and undersea command, control and communications.

Approach: The presentation will outline high level details of some of the QinetiQ Digital T&E offering to its customers.

Insights:  QinetiQ’s digital T&E capabilities offering to its customers have enabled deployment of maritime systems with reduced inherent risks of losing or grounding valuable assets, supported underwater navigation and tracking with seamless communication among Maritime Autonomous Systems in challenging underwater and littoral environments. Through global collaboration in integrated autonomous systems and acoustic communication, QinetiQ has provided significant cost savings in field trials by reducing the risks of mission failures thereby helping our customers  to ‘train like you fight’ and ensuring success of critical missions.
