About this course

An intensive, face-to-face programme of four one-week modules, which can be taken separately and in any order, in advanced T&E theory and practice for real-world systems of systems in the physical and synthetic domains.

Modules cover complex testing of an autonomous underwater vehicle and a sonar target-classification algorithm; design of experiments and scientific test and analysis techniques for systems-of-systems T&E; uncrewed aerial system T&E and validation of a mission simulation; and digital T&E with modelling and simulation plus AI assurance methods. Nova states the programme is aligned with the Defence T&E Competency Framework (2019) and the International Test and Evaluation Association (ITEA) Certified T&E Professional (CTEP) competencies.
