About Us
SESEF's overall mission is to provide the Navy and Department of Defense (DOD) engineering activities and the fleet with a dependable and technically capable source for real time comparative EW and RF signal analysis consistent with an operational environment.

Specific objectives of the SESEF Program include:
  • Validating engineering designs by verifying conformance of ship test results to engineering design and model range data for new and upgraded systems.
  • Determining system operational performance and material readiness following new construction and overhaul.
  • Supporting Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) testing during at-sea Acceptance Trials (AT), Final Contract Trials (ACT), and Underway Material Inspections (UMI). Identifying and assisting in correction of deficiencies in the ship's combat systems electronic suite.
  • Providing electromagnetic signature data for engineering analysis

       Capabilities
      As directed by NAVSEA and with the strong support of various Fleet commands, SESEF provides state-of-the-art Test & Evaluation (T&E) of combat systems which radiate or receive electromagnetic (EM) energy. SESEF provides a "reliable partner" for two party testing, analysis and troubleshooting of shipboard EM systems. Emphasis is placed on providing real-time data analysis while minimizing test time. SESEF sites are manned as required to support fleet and testing schedules with on-call operations available. Testing is scheduled by the engineering activity, ship or fleet command with the desired SESEF location.
