High Tech Work: Aircraft Survivability (Survivability/Vulnerability/Lethality)

The Weapons Survivability Laboratory (WSL) is the Navy's field activity for weapon system survivability, weapons lethality, and live-fire testing.  Survivability is the ability to complete a mission successfully in the face of hostile fire.  The WSL conducts survivability testing for all three major armed services and industry to provide empirical data on the vulnerability of aircraft to actual threats. Testing is performed on six test pads under rigidly controlled and highly realistic conditions.  In addition, a complete machine shop is on-site for fast repair and modification of aircraft and test articles.
