# Army Selects VIAVI T/Rx for Test Ranges

The U.S. Army Threat Systems Management Office selected VIAVI Solutions’ software-defined T/Rx system to create realistic electromagnetic-spectrum environments at Army test ranges participating in the Test Range Private Industry Initiative. The initiative opens five facilities to commercial developers of drones, counter-drone systems, long-range fires, and low-cost interceptors, potentially giving firms without existing government contracts access to test-and-evaluation facilities. No contract value, solicitation number, or application process was disclosed.

- The selection gives the Army a capability for electromagnetic-spectrum testing while expanding the potential user base for its test ranges.
- Defense firms developing the named systems may find access to Army testing facilities relevant to product evaluation, including companies that do not currently hold government contracts.
- Procurement and business development teams should distinguish this testing-access initiative from a disclosed solicitation or contract opportunity; the signals provide no application instructions or procurement contact.
