Aerospace Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Advisory and Assistance Services (ARDTEAS)

The contract provides for non-personal advisory and assistance services to fully support Aerospace Research, Development, Test and Evaluation activities at the Air Force Flight Test Center. The Aerospace Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Advisory and Assistance Services (ARDTEAS) program primarily focuses on robust systems engineering and technical assistance (SE/TA) services. It embraces strategic and enterprise-wide concepts by making these services available in support of interrelated and joint RDT&E efforts for partnering and alliance units such as, but not limited to, AFFTC’s Western Range Partners (Nevada Test and Training Range, Utah Test and Training Range and Electronic Combat Range), System Program Offices, Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center, Science and Technology Communities, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and National Aeronautical Space Administration. An enterprise-wide approach provides, in terms of benefits, the ability to expand and create new relationships in pursuit of shared developments, new technical areas, e.g. directed energy, and unmanned aerial vehicles, and maximize synergies, efficiencies and interoperabilities within and between these units to fully support systems from concept to combat.
