Captive Carry Testing

Captive Carry Testing is conducted to evaluate the structural integrity, aerodynamic behavior, vibration characteristics, and system performance of a test article while it is securely mounted to a carrier platform. The testing enables validation of design parameters and operational readiness under simulated real-world conditions without actual deployment or release.

Using advanced instrumentation, strain gauging, load measurement systems, accelerometers, and data acquisition equipment, critical performance parameters are monitored and analyzed in real time. The test helps identify structural responses, load distribution, vibration effects, and interface performance, ensuring safety and reliability before operational deployment.
