  • Highly instrumented to obtain strain, acceleration, shock, pressure, toxic fumes, temperature, forces and moments on crew, and velocity, pitch and yaw of threat projectile
  • Real-time video, high-speed video/film/digital imaging available
  • Remote viewing, monitoring, and control of test item
  • Fire suppression system for test asset protection
