The ITC Mission Expanding Access to Real-World Technology Testing
ITC was founded by, and continues to be led by, individuals who were members of the project team which made use of the US Navy’s Point Mugu Sea Range for autonomous technology testing and evaluation (T&E) exercises in 2025. We were motivated by that experience to establish a companion testing range outside of Navy-controlled waters and airspace, to make T&E facilities available to a broader array of small technology companies which might not find the Sea Range affordable or require its level of sophistication yet in their product development. Hence the birth of the Fathomwerx Proving Ground (FPG), a real-world testing arena which multiplies the capabilities of the existing Fathomwerx Lab (indoor controlled laboratory facilities) to offer a full spectrum of facilities and services in support of the crucial testing phase of new technology development.
