Large and unpopulated test ranges

With space in abundance, you have the freedom to execute a wide range of test and evaluation scenarios. At Vidsel Test Range in the north of Sweden, for example, you can conduct realistic test scenarios in Europe's largest overland test area.

Choose from a variety of standard and customised, static and remotely controlled mobile ground and aerial targets to create the scenarios you need to test and evaluate your systems.

At FMV T&E, we have the competence and knowledge to support your flight trials, as well as the facilities and technical infrastructure to meet your airborne system and platform testing needs.

Unmanned flight trials

Make the most of our huge airspace to demonstrate that your unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) is mission ready. From the maiden flight of an unproven system to advanced long-range missions, we are more than capable in supporting your needs.

Before a flight trial, we take care of the administrative parts of the project, such as flight and frequency permits. During the mission, we support you with all the systems needed, including flight termination systems (FTS), transponders, tracking of your aircraft and surveying of the airspace to ensure all is clear for take-off.
