The 53d Wing serves as the focal point for the Combat Air Forces in electronic warfare, armament and avionics, chemical defense, reconnaissance, and aircrew training devices. The wing is also responsible for operational testing and evaluation of new equipment and systems proposed for use by these forces. These applications provide an integrated environment supporting all missions and aircraft. JDAM is an excellent example of the modern concept of weapon design. The Test and Analysis Division provides mission control and data analysis for test missions.
Available resources can simultaneously support multiple, diverse missions.
