Xrange

TEST, VERIFY, PERFORM 

The UAE’s sovereign training, test and evaluation capability XRANGE provides a secure, multi-domain Test, Training & Evaluation (TT&E) environment designed to support defence, aerospace and commercial customers in developing, validating and verifying the capabilities of their multi-domain assets and systems. Operating from a dedicated 350 km² secure island facility in the United Arab Emirates, XRANGE delivers an instrumented, safe and controlled environment in which to conduct complex testing activities at the system, sub- system or component level. Modern defence development and acquisition programmes require increasingly complex testing cycles and specialist test areas and facilities. Advanced weapons systems, autonomous platforms and integrated sensor architectures demand available, scalable and reliable test facilities as well as high-fidelity instrumentation, which until recently was only available outside of the UAE at established test ranges. XRANGE now delivers this sovereign capability as a commercially operated test range, available to both defence and industry customers in the UAE and around the World. RANGE AREA XRANGE has access to both a large geographical space as well as the largest and highest airspace allocation available to commercial customers in the UAE.
