The Electronic Proving Ground (EPG) at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, is part of the Department of Defense Major Range and Test Facility Base and is the Army's premier organization for testing Command, Control, Communications, Computer and Intelligence (C4I) equipment and systems. EPG has access to the 76,000 acres of the post as well as selected government and private land. EPG also has field offices at Fort Hood, Texas, and Fort Lewis, Washington.
EPG's remote location and an environment free of radio-frequency interference make it the principal Army Test Center for communications and electronic systems, including the developmental testing of C4I systems, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and navigation and avionics systems. EPG is capable of testing systems distributed to diverse locations, emphasizing system-of-systems test. EPG's Virtual Electronic Proving Ground allows for testing in a combination of real, virtual, and constructive environments.
During EPG's 49 years, it has tested most of the Army's major C4I and electronic systems. |
