The Future of MOD Flt Test
Been pondering this since I heard a couple of weeks ago. Thoughts abound on the move of JTEG (Joint Test and Evaluation Group - the military guys n gals working with QinetiQ) Flt Test Sqns from Boscombe out to where the OEUs (Operational Evaluation Unit) are. How do people think this will affect flt test, QinetiQ and most importantly, the real customer sitting in the cockpit?
Me, I think it should be the other way. Move OEUs to Boscombe to integrate all involved in T&E (Test & Evaluation) together. If the former route is taken, I think that the RTS (Release to Service) process will lose the benefits of tps (Test Pilots) and FTEs (Flight Test Engineers) etc working together at BCE (Boscombe Down).
