Aircraft Systems Engineering Squadron
The Aerospace Systems Engineering Squadron (ASE SQN) was a squadron of the Royal Australian Air Force, that designed and developed non-standard modifications, special test equipment and facilities, and telemetry functions to support flight tests. ASE SQN was located at RAAF Base Edinburgh in Adelaide, South Australia. In 2016, the squadron was amalgamated with the Aircraft Stores Compatibility Engineering Squadron The Aircraft Stores Compatibility Engineering Squadron (ASCENG SQN) was the Australian Defence Force design authority for aircraft/stores compatibility and air weapons engineering. It was located at RAAF Base Edinburgh in Adelaide, South Austra ..., to form the Air Warfare Engineering Squadron.

Air Warfare Centre RAAF
The Air Warfare Centre (AWC) is a Force Element Group of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) based at RAAF Base Edinburgh. It was formerly titled the Aerospace Operational Support Group (AOSG) and was reformed into the AWC in 2016. The role of the AWC is similar to the AOSG and whilst it still conducts research and development on defence systems such as aircraft and weapons at the Woomera Test Range (WTR), it has expanded its role to address opportunities to improve Air Force's ability to maximise the operational effectiveness of fifth-generation, networked capabilities through improved integration across Defence and increased knowledge sharing with allied AWCs. Units As of February 2021, the Air Warfare Centre comprised: *Air System Development and Test Wing RAAF, Test and Evaluation Directorate **Aircraft Research and Development Unit RAAF, Aircraft Research and Development Unit **Air Warfare Engineering Squadron **RAAF Institute of Aviation Medicine, Institute of Aviation M ...

Air System Development And Test Wing RAAF
The Development and Test Wing (DTWG) of the Royal Australian Air Force's Air Warfare Centre (AWC) is the Australian Defence Force's central institution responsible for the supervision, planning, project management, tasking and co-ordination of activities delivered by various units. Although under the command of the Air Force, the DTWG draws personnel from both the Australian Air Force and the Australian Army. In turn the DTWG develops and manages test, evaluation, development and research capabilities for aerospace vehicles and support equipment. Units The Development and Test Wing contains the following units: * The Aircraft Research and Development Unit (ARDU) plans, conducts and analyses the results of ground and flight tests of existing and new Army and Air Force aircraft. * The Aircraft Systems Engineering Squadron (ASE SQN) designs and develops non-standard modifications, special test equipment and facilities, and telemetry functions to support flight tests. * The Aircraft ...

RAAF Base Edinburgh
RAAF Base Edinburgh is a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) military airbase located in Edinburgh approximately north of Adelaide, South Australia, Australia and forms part of the Edinburgh Defence Precinct. The base is primarily home to No 92 Wing and their Lockheed AP-3C Orion and Boeing P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft that conduct surveillance operations throughout Australia's region of interest. The base is also the home of the Air Warfare Centre which is responsible through its Air Force Ranges Directorate for the Woomera Test Range. The base has over the past decade become home to elements of the 1st Brigade of the Australian Army. History The construction of RAAF Base Edinburgh commenced in 1953 and it was officially opened 22 March 1954 as a support base for weapons development at the joint UK-Australian Weapons Research Establishment (WRE) at Woomera and Maralinga. The support base had previously been based at a small Edinburgh Airfield and at RAAF Base Mallal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wing Commander (rank)
Wing commander (Wg Cdr in the RAF, the IAF, and the PAF, WGCDR in the RNZAF and RAAF, formerly sometimes W/C in all services) is a senior commissioned rank in the British Royal Air Force and air forces of many countries which have historical British influence, including many Commonwealth countries but not including Canada (since Unification) and South Africa. It is sometimes used as the English translation of an equivalent rank in countries which have a non-English air force-specific rank structure. It ranks immediately above squadron leader and immediately below group captain. It has a NATO ranking code of OF-4. It is equivalent to commander in the Royal and United States Navies, as well as to lieutenant colonel in the British Army, the Royal Marines, and the United States Army, Air Force and Marine Corps. The equivalent rank in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force and the Women's Royal Air Force (until 1968) and in Princess Mary's Royal Air Force Nursing Service (until 1980) ...

Telemetry
Telemetry is the in situ data collection, collection of measurements or other data at remote points and their automatic data transmission, transmission to receiving equipment (telecommunication) for monitoring. The word is derived from the Greek language, Greek roots ''tele'', "remote", and ''metron'', "measure". Systems that need external instructions and data to operate require the counterpart of telemetry, telecommand. Although the term commonly refers to wireless data transfer mechanisms (e.g., using radio, ultrasonic, or Infrared#Communications, infrared systems), it also encompasses data transferred over other media such as a telephone or computer network, optical link or other wired communications like power line carriers. Many modern telemetry systems take advantage of the low cost and ubiquity of GSM networks by using SMS to receive and transmit telemetry data. A ''telemeter'' is a physical device used in telemetry. It consists of a sensor, a transmission path, and a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Flight Test
Flight testing is a branch of aeronautical engineering that develops specialist equipment required for testing aircraft behaviour and systems. Instrumentation systems are developed using proprietary transducers and data acquisition systems. Data is sampled during the flight of an aircraft, or Atmosphere of Earth, atmospheric testing of launch vehicles and Reusable launch vehicle, reusable spacecraft. This data is validated for accuracy and analyzed before being passed to specialist engineering groups for further analysis to Verification and validation, validate the design of the vehicle. The flight test phase accomplishes two major tasks: 1) finding and fixing any Aeronautics, design problems and then 2) verification and validation, verifying and documenting the vehicle capabilities for government certification or customer acceptance. The flight test phase can range from the test of a single new system for an existing vehicle to the complete development and certification of a ...
