Gathering Field Operational Tests stakeholders in one strategic platform...

The EC funded FOT-Net support action answering the need to gathers National, European and international FOT organisers in one strategic networking platform.

 

The primary aim of this network is to spread and feed-in the common FESTA methodology which has been developed for Field Operational Tests. The FESTA project has developed a comprehensive manual which described the various steps to be taken when organising a Field Operational Test. It walks the reader through the whole process of planning, preparing, executing, analysing and reporting a Field Operational Test, and it gives information about aspects that are especially relevant for a study of this magnitude (administrative, logistics, etc.)

 

The FOT networking platform aims not only to spread this methodology, but also to further explore the FESTA recommendations, and debate about issues which will need further attention.
