JT4 supports the Point Mugu Sea Range (PMSR) in a variety of testing and training events ranging from standard one-on-one events to more involved multi-participant, multi-target training electronic combat environments, such as the Navy’s Combat System Ship Qualification Trials (CSSQT). JT4 also assists the range with different parts of fleet battle exercises that coordinate the efforts of submarines, surface ships and aircraft as they engage with different types of threats and targets both in the air and on the water. PMSR provides a realistic yet controlled setting where our Navy customer can conduct events that require an open-air and open-ocean maritime environment, as well as facilities to test and train in a littoral environment.
JT4 personnel provide engineering support in various aspects of test and evaluation from concepts of operation to post-data analysis and everything in between. Our main four branches of support include data systems, instrumentation systems, general operations and range operations. With a collaborative team effort that works with telemetry, radar and GPS, our crews perform tasking on a broad interactive spectrum of interconnecting systems that include maintenance on antennas, physically rigging data packages on test vehicles, rigging photo equipment on sea-going vessels, establishing communication configuration and preparing and operating control rooms. Across the range, we collaborate to provide rapid and effective support for diverse test and evaluation scenarios.
A message from the range manager
The Point Mugu Sea Range supports open-air and open-ocean testing and serves as a venue to evaluate combat operations in a littoral scenario. PMSR provides unique capabilities for the Navy’s surface and subsurface fleets, making it a range with test capabilities second to none. JT4 personnel ensure these vital range resources are ready for use at a moment’s notice.
Where we work
The Point Mugu Sea Range is part of a premier naval installation, Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), which also includes Port Hueneme and San Nicolas Island. The installation supports dozens of tenant commands, including JT4’s primary Navy customer, the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), an organization belonging to Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR).
While the majority of our employees are based at the mainland installation most of the time, some of our employees spend their days on San Nicolas Island or aboard a ship for a particular training exercise.
The Point Mugu Sea Range is a 36,000-square-mile sea test range that can be expanded further through interagency coordination between the U.S. Navy and the Federal Aviation Administration. The enormous geographic diversity of the range, which includes vast ocean, deep-water ports and protected islands, makes it an ideal location to support both developmental and operational test and evaluation of missiles, free-fall weapons and electronic warfare systems.

I joined the JT4 Team in 2019. I consider it a privilege and honor to work for a company that prides itself on professionalism and the pursuit of excellence. The diversity of talent coupled with the ever-changing work environment makes this one of the most rewarding positions I have ever held. JT4 gives new meaning to Andrew Carnegie’s statement, “Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.” My team looks forward to coming to work every day to face new challenges, and we pride ourselves on our ability to bring creative solutions to complex problems. JT4 has given me the tools and opportunity to succeed and take ownership of my career.
