Test Planning and Execution
AVIAN performs test planning, execution, analysis, reporting, and correction of deficiencies tracking for Naval aircraft, weapon systems, subsystems, and training devices.
We are experts in Capabilities-Based T&E, System-of-Systems T&E, Design of Experiments, and Live-Virtual-Constructive testing
Our testers develop program Test and Evaluation Master Plans (TEMPs), test documentation, and briefing materials in support of program requirements and technical reviews; and develop and manage test schedules, budgets, metrics, and test program execution tracking.
UAS Test Flight
AVIAN's UAS Test personnel include Group 1-5 UAS Flight Coordinators, Air Vehicle Operators, Mission Payload Operators, Flight Test Engineers, and Flight Test Technicians.
- Test planning and execution
- Data collection and reporting for UAV ground handling and flying qualities
- Performance, weapon systems, and sensor packages for both ashore and afloat
- Ground Control Station hardware and software management and test
Counter Threat Solutions (formerly redUAS)
AVIAN's Counter-Threat Solutions team offers cutting-edge solutions to protect the people and critical infrastructures around the world from new or evolving technologies, and developing threats of all types.
AVIAN’s team is comprised of highly skilled counter-threat experts with prior military, special forces, law enforcement, and intelligence and national security experience.
Our instructors understand the value of countermeasures and a comprehensive understanding of critical responses to complex hybrid threats. We can develop training material and curricula to meet your needs ranging from management overviews to full tactics and training plans (TTP) and execution for security personnel including field exercises.
Tactics and Training
- Field Tactics, Exercises, and Demonstrations (live explosives demonstrations & scenario-based training with drones)
- Classroom Instruction
- eLearning
AVIAN is currently the sole source provider of counter unmanned (C-UAS) training to first responders and law enforcement from around the country on behalf of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) using courseware we developed and instruct. We develop and deliver C-UAS training for U.S.-based first responders through a contract with the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMT) as part of the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium.
NMT works in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through a cooperative agreement to provide training geared toward preparing emergency first responders to better prevent and respond to terrorist incidents.
We offer DHS/FEMA-certified in-person and virtual courses designed to provide awareness of the unmanned aircraft threat, the legalities of using both drones and counter-drone technology, and an introductory framework of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP’s) to assist first responders and emergency management professionals to develop an organized and practiced response to malicious and negligent drones operating within their areas of responsibility.
The 3-day resident course taught at NMT’s Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center includes both classroom instruction and field training exercises with live explosive detonations. Shortened executive and mobile courses are also offered.
Counter UAS System Test & Evaluation
AVIAN personnel build, modify, and operate systems used in field testing to validate the effectiveness of measures designed to mitigate and reduce unmanned aircraft threats.
- Assessments of C-UAS system sensors, software, integration, and operation, including kinetic kill systems
- Comprehensive C-UAS system test planning, execution, analysis, and reporting
- Assembly and modification of commercial-off-the-shelf UAS as well as design and build of unique prototype UAS for use as simulated threat systems
- UAS flight operations for C-UAS system stimulation and assessment against real-world UAS systems and operator tactics
Commercial Flight Test & Aviation Safety Consulting
Gathering data to evaluate a design or set of designs to ensure the safety of flight is at the core of aeronautical engineering.
At AVIAN, we provide full life-cycle systems engineering, flight test engineering, and system safety engineering, training, and standardization of a variety of commercial systems.
- Flight test process development, test planning, and reporting, and safety reviews
- Safety Management System development, implementation, and auditing
- System safety design requirements, hazard analysis, safety risk management, safety performance indicators and other safety-related metrics, safety case development, and decision support
