     Measurement facilities, including the ISTF BAF, establish the character of an EW related system/subsystem or technology. They provide capabilities to explore and evaluate advanced technologies such as those involved with various sensors and multi-spectral signature reduction.
     Measurement facilities generally fall into the sub-categories of antenna measurement, Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurement, infrared/laser signature measurement, Electromagnetic Interference and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMI/EMC) test capabilities. Measurement facilities provide EW and platform antenna pattern descriptions and platform signature data critical for system design and refinement, computer simulation, and HITL testing.
