Naval Test Wing Atlantic (NTWL), an echelon four command of the Naval Air Warfare Center - Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) provides flight test engineering, programmatic, and administrative support to Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), and is the cognizant authority for Test and Evaluation (T&E) with participation in all phases of the air weapon systems life cycle management for manned and unmanned fixed wing, rotary wing, aerial and lighter-than-air vehicles. NTWL executes T&E management of operations and equipment through delegated authority to the subordinate Air Test and Evaluation Squadrons. These squadrons are designated HX-21, VX-20, VX-23, and USNTPS. The test requirements are provided to NWTL and squadrons via several methods with the primary source of T&E assignment being from a Program Management Authority (PMA) (Program Office) for the development, procurement and sustainment of Navy and Marine aircraft systems. Other sources of T&E assignments may be other U.S Government agencies, Department of Defense agencies, Foreign Defense agencies and commercial aviation flight agencies. The scope and complexity of the T&E events are defined by the requirement owners and executed per the Test and Evaluation Management Plan (TEMP). NTWL provides full system spectrum test capability from complete aircraft down to sub-system components, expendable weapon, sensor, and deception articles and flight worthy software designed to operate and configure the system and its components.
