UNSC Operational Test and Evaluation Center

UNSC Operational Test and Evaluation Center (UNSCOTEC) is a facility located near the Special Warfare Center at Songnam.

Purpose
The primary purpose of the UNSC Operational Test and Evaluation Center is to quantify and reduce risks during the acquisition process for a system, by determining how well the systems perform when operated and maintained by military personnel in operational environments.

Tests
The UNSCOTEC is known to have carried out a test of the re-entry and combat capabilities of the Mark VI variant of MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor, prior to John-117 being outfitted with it on Cairo Station. For the purpose of the test, the UNSCOTEC enlisted the help of Maria-062, another SPARTAN-II, to wear the armor during the combat and re-entry tests.

Staff
The 340th ODST Combat Training Unit is attached to UNSCOTEC.
