Take a tour of the facility testing military equipment to the extreme

- The last thing military personnel should have to worry about is whether the equipment they use will protect them, keep them safe and be robust enough to do the job.
That's why BAE Systems, which supplies the British military with everything from combat aircraft and battle tanks to bullets and helmets, puts all equipment through rigourous testing procedures.
Forces News' Tom Sables was given a tour of the company's Faraday Test Centre in Kent where military kit faces strict and complex testing before it is given the all-clear to be used in the field.

🙄 It's not an ultimate test until it's survived a 3 year old.
There trying to make things squadie proof never going to happen
The politically correct term is soldiers now days I’ll have you know
@@donkey1271 🤣🤣🤣 squadies know SLR wollie jumpers and ichy blankets and role mats soldiers know sa80a3 soft dovets and fluffy pillows and camp cots should I continue
@@donkey1271 you just sound like a squaddie 🤣🤣
It has not been properly tested until it has been put in the hands of the end user. No level of “lab” testing can reflect what happens in the field in the hands of the user. Industry will always say that it was not designed to do that. A soldier will use it as he requires!
LOL for a third-tier force, testing is pretty much redundant.
unfortunately the equipment they are testing costs too much so they seem not to test batches of say 50 units to get statistics. Easier testing microcircuits in batches. The manufacturer make their own tests so there is a lot of testing being done.
So everything the MoD Procurement Executive did before Thatcher binned us all and close to 200 years of experience, and flogged it all off to BAe. Someone ought to explain to the Torres, you can only sell your assets once.
Damn right sir.
Worked in MoD wind tunnels and flight simulators when testing
Meant for the country,not a business.....

Farnborough or Bedford?
Was at the big B. Drive past regularly and see the remnants of
Both sites.. airfield and tunnels...pitiful ,when what was achieved there
I know money became an issue for r +d but even more galling
When a £60 million immigrant detention centre was built behind
the tunnel site........

Ahh, I was at Farnborough, but came up to B regularly on trials and did detached duty there on a couple of occasions. Nice people.
Looks like Q branch
It’s a pity the counties politicians aren’t put through equally thorough testing…..
Hey that was the HUD unit from an eurofighter typhoon . COOL
This is James bond stuff!
If only they tested the carrier first here
Very interesting
Respect
Well, they messed up with Ajax then !!!
Lord knows how a hypersonic aircraft will ever survive.
Reliability saves lives.
Do they get feedback from the end user and put that back into the testing? As said in the video, frontline military personnel put their gear through the roughest of actions and in ways that may not have been anticipated when the gear was designed. There are times when even with the best gear, military personnel will trade them away (to other countries military forces) for what they believe is actually better suited.
Generally speaking, yes
