UK Introduces New Flight Test Capability to De-Risk Aircraft Defense Integration

A new testing capability is giving British forces the chance to evaluate Defense Aid Systems (DAS) under real flight conditions before they are installed on military aircraft.

Built by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory in partnership with QinetiQ, “EREBUS” takes DAS out of laboratories and into the sky, acting as a flying testbed to evaluate systems in environments that cannot be replicated on the ground.

The platform is designed to uncover early system issues and fine-tune configurations before integration onto operational aircraft.
