Test and Evaluation (T&E) is the process by which the performances of systems or subsystems are compared against requirements and specifications through testing. Whether it is Developmental Testing or Operational Testing, The Columbia Group (TCG) has the experience to develop, conduct, and evaluate tests relevant to our customers' needs.

Our personnel are skilled in identifying testing needs, designing tests, establishing test objectives, serving as Test Directors, preparing detailed test plans, analyzing test results, preparing test reports, and coordinating test activities. We can provide engineers in a variety of disciplines and technicians to support many types of testing.

Located in Panama City Beach, Florida, TCG's Marine Engineering Division operates its own fabrication and test facilities that can build prototypes and integrate and test mechanical and electrical hardware. We also have our own dive team to support at-sea testing of hardware vehicles. From small to large, simple to complex, our experienced personnel can ensure your testing meets requirements, stays within budget, and is completed on time.
