The process to deliver a modern combat aircraft from concept to
introduction to service is often measured in decades. Described as
a weapon system, modern designs such as the Eurofighter Typhoon are
intricate jigsaws with a fusion of new techniques and sometimes
unproven, emerging technologies. By the time the new weapons system
reaches the front line, it will have been tested by the
manufacturer, evaluated by test pilots, and assessed by service
pilots. There have been examples of success but also some
spectacular failures, with projects cancelled late in development.
This book will investigate why. It will take you from the original
requirement through the complex testing and evaluation process,
showing recent examples of the path to declaring a new combat
aircraft operational on the front line. It will look at how today's
test organisations have matured to meet the task and investigate
the pressures they face, and will also look at real-life examples
of systems testing. David Gledhill and David Lewis, both
experienced test evaluators, will uncover the reasons why some
aircraft serve on the front line for years before becoming truly
effective in their role.
