Brand new sophisticated Test & Evaluation Centre inaugurated at FN Herstal
Belgium-based Herstal Group, the parent Company of weapon manufacturer FN Herstal, recently inaugurated a new industrial complex in Herstal, Belgium. The new facilities house a state-of-the-art Test & Evaluation Centre and the R&D Department in charge of integrated weapon system activities.
This investment - around €4m - is part of a multi-year investment programme in line with the continuous modernization process of the Herstal site.
The roles of the new Test & Evaluation Centre are to centralize all testing operations (simulation, ballistic and instrumentation laboratories, operating and precision shooting, weapon testing and shooting under adverse conditions [-54° or +52° with 90% humidity]) and provide customers with an ultramodern and technological environment whilst attending tests.
Health regulations were also met. Shooting tunnels were built on silentblocs with a double wall construction for improved working conditions and noise protection. The new complex also houses the R&D Department in charge of integrated weapon systems for airborne, land and sea applications. The relocation was made necessary because of the growth of these activities.
