08 May 08. The Boeing Company dedicated a new test and evaluation facility in Huntington Beach, Calif., that provides the technology and capability to support both current and future radar-based weapon systems. The Dynamic Advanced Radar Test (DART) facility represents a $10m investment for the company. “DART is a one-stop, full-service facility to support design, development and qualification testing of our most sophisticated radar-based weapons before taking them to the field, where testing can be very costly,” said Debra Rub-Zenko, Weapons Programs vice president for Boeing. “This facility is unquestionably a leap forward in our ability to meet the rapidly expanding requirements surrounding test and production of increasingly complex weapon systems.” The DART facility combines two critical test and evaluation activities, nearly doubling the size of the facility and increasing capacity to meet the challenges of evolving threats.

Located at Alpha Court, on the western outskirts of Lincoln, the 1100 square metre facility, which includes a 200 square metre Radio Frequency screened laboratory, is strategically sited to enable SELEX GALILEO to provide enhanced Electronic Warfare (EW) support to local RAF operational units and to the UK Air Warfare and Defence EW Centres. The new EWOS facility will enable SELEX GALILEO to build on its expertise in the support of hardware systems and software tools and will benefit from the expertise of highly skilled employees with strong military EW and EWOS backgrounds. The facility will employ up to 40 specialists.

4 May 2008 NATO opens new centre of excellence on cyber defence. Seven NATO nations and the Allied Command Transformation signed the documents for the formal establishment of a Cooperative Cyber Defence (CCD) Centre of Excellence (COE) in Tallinn, Estonia. The centre will conduct research and training on cyber warfare and include a staff of 30 persons, half of them specialists from the sponsoring countries, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Spain. The agreement comes a year after a major cyber attack on Estonian public and private institutions prompted NATO to conduct a thorough assessment of its approach to cyber defence. At their meeting in October 2007 Allied Defence Ministers called for the development of a NATO cyber defence policy which was adopted early 2008.
