Test and Evaluation

Rigorously assessing performance, durability, and usability of defense technologies under realistic operational conditions.

Overview

At Indigo Industries, we recognize the critical importance of thorough testing and evaluation (T&E) in delivering effective, reliable, and innovative solutions to the modern warfighter. Our services rigorously assess the performance, durability, and usability of defense technologies, from developmental and operational testing to joint evaluations and live fire validation, under realistic operational conditions and in compliance with OSD/R&E standards.

We employ an integrated framework that combines real-world scenario testing with advanced analytics and simulation tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, and STK. A rapid prototyping feedback loop allows for quick iterations based on real-time data, significantly reducing development timelines while enhancing the functionality of the final product.

Non-traditional assessments

Non-traditional assessments are time-compressed, operationally anchored evaluations. They determine whether a technology provides measurable mission value, whether it can integrate into an operational system, and what risks must be retired before broader adoption.

"Non-traditional" refers to the approach, not a lower standard of rigor. These assessments don't replace statutory test and evaluation. They fill the gap between vendor demonstrations and program-level commitments with transparent evidence, clear limitations, and actionable recommendations.

Every assessment ends in a clear decision

  • Suitable for near-term transition
  • Promising, but needs targeted risk reduction
  • Not competitive for the mission at this time
