This 75,000-square-foot, two-story Design-Build Flight Test Engineering Laboratory Complex will house the 412th Test Engineering Group (TENG), including its management team, labs, engineering department, and technical library. Designed for flexibility, energy efficiency, and modernization, the facility will support current and future flight test activities. It allows TENG to rapidly upgrade and modify labs to keep pace with evolving technology and agile software updates.
The building layout is centered around a main atrium lobby. Adjacent to the lobby are the circulation collection, information desk, and customer computer lab. Further down the main corridor are testing labs, conference rooms, classrooms, and open offices. On the second floor, the Heritage Room is located off the atrium, along with open and individual office spaces for various engineering groups. The west side of the building features a secure, single-story section housing classified labs and offices. The facility is expected to accommodate just over 200 daily TENG personnel.
A compartmentalized TENG lab will support multi-SAPF and SCIF efforts to advance and test 5th and 6th+ generation data link technologies, C4ISR ground station operations, joint large force exercises, joint data analysis (including Orange Flag events), cyber-attack and weapon testing, directed energy systems, lasers, electro-optics, and multi- and hyperspectral targeting. This facility is critical to the 412th Test Wing’s mission success.
The existing 67,400-square-foot flight lab, located just southeast of the new facility, will be demolished once the transition is complete.
