This book was released on 2009 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) is using mission-based test and evaluation (T & E), among other initiatives, to implement the Department of Defense T & E guidelines. Mission-based T & E focuses on the identification and alignment of system components and functions with the tactical missions and warfighting functions/tasks that the system supports. The approach facilitates testing in an "operationally realistic" environment and evaluating "in the mission context at the time of fielding." Further, it facilitates the assessment of system functionality, the assessment of the effect of system functionality on operational capability, and the assessment of the capability of the warfighter to accomplish mission tasks.

Book excerpt: Integrated testing is not new to anyone in the acquisition/testing field. When asking members of the Service testing communities if they are doing integrated testing, the reply is almost always going to be affirmative. With that said, what do they mean by integrated testing? Historically, different people have offered different definitions. In an effort to provide a common point of reference, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) provided a definition of integrated testing to the Services in 2008. They defined it as " ... the collaborative planning and collaborative execution of test phases and events to provide shared data in support of independent analysis, evaluation and reporting by all stakeholders particularly the developmental (both contractor and government) and operational test and evaluation communities."(OSD, 2008) U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) has further refined this definition to obtain a better understanding of where we can go beyond integrated testing. When talking about integrating testing, ATEC uses the terms "Integrated" Developmental Test and Operational Test (DT/OT) as well as "Combined" DT/ OT. Integrated DT/OT, a special case of a Combined DT/OT, is a single-phased event that generates data to address developmental and operational issues simultaneously under operational conditions. The execution strategy for this event is based on the requirements of the program. Combined DT/OT is a single event that produces data to answer developmental and operational system issues. A Combined DT/OT is usually conducted as a series of distinct DT and OT phases at a single location using the same test items. For the case in which a single phase can be used to simultaneously meet developmental and operational issues, this testing will be referred to as an Integrated DT/OT.

Book excerpt: This paper provides a review of the initiatives and processes implemented by the US Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) to support wartime rapid acquisition while building a context for the impact initiatives implemented by ATEC have had within the test and evaluation (T&E) community. Ultimately it looks at ATEC's wartime T&E experience and its relevance to cultural change within the T&E institution, a concern leading to the 2005 Defense Acquisition Performance Assessment (DAPA) Project commissioned by the Honorable Gordon England, Deputy Secretary of Defense. The paper concludes with recommendations for further study and consideration.

Book excerpt: As the Army leadership continues to shape the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) concept to generate continuous readiness that supports strategic flexibility and depth to the US Army warfighters, the US Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) leadership continues to embrace and implement strategic changes to facilitate the fielding of equipment to the warfighters. ATEC has demonstrated adaptability and flexibility in meeting the challenges associated with the traditional acquisition process and the necessities resulted from the deployment of troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. The fundamental purpose of Test and Evaluation (T&E) in the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Military Services remains the same as acquisition policies change. Four studies conducted by different groups between 1999 and 2006 consistently revealed similar concerns on the nature of the needed change. In a 22 December 2007 memorandum, Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) promulgated another round of new T&E policies. This paper examines how ATEC is adjusting its culture to implement principles from five of these latest T&E policies and recommends some changes in norms to solidify practices of these policies throughout the community.

Download or read book Test and Evaluation Policies and Practices A New Emphasis written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) recently issued new and revised test and evaluation (T & E) policies that represent a shift in emphasis toward the evaluation side of T & E and promote a continued emphasis on integrated testing. The revised policies focus on using T & E throughout the system life cycle in a seamless continuum. This revision of T & E policies represents one of many actions the Department is taking to revitalize T & E and to ensure that T & E is timely, effective, and efficient. The revised policy responds to a 2007 review of DoD T & E and its applicability to emerging acquisition approaches. The Director of Operational Test and Evaluation and the Office of the Deputy Director, Developmental Test and Evaluation conducted the review and delivered the resulting report to Congress in July 2007 in compliance with Section 231 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007, Public Law 109-364. The report, known as the "231 report," is the latest in a series of reviews and studies of DoD T & E that signaled the shift in DoD T & E policy. The December 2007 policy and the findings from the 231 report can be grouped into four broad themes: (1) Emphasis on evaluation, (2) Focus on capabilities and limitations, (3) Integrated and seamless T & E, and (4) Developmental T & E reporting.

This book was released on 2019-03-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This PRINT REPLICA contains the 6th edition of the Test & Evaluation Management Guide (TEMG). The Test & Evaluation Management Guide is intended primarily for use in courses at DAU and secondarily as a generic desk reference for program and project management, and Test & Evaluation (T&E) personnel. It is written for current and potential acquisition management personnel and assumes some familiarity with basic terms, definitions, and processes as employed by the DoD acquisition process. The Test & Evaluation Management Guide is designed to assist Government and industry personnel in executing their management responsibilities relative to the T&E support of defense systems and facilitate learning during Defense Acquisition University coursework. The objective of a well-managed T&E program is to provide timely and accurate information to decision makers and program managers (PMs). The Test & Evaluation Management Guide was developed to assist the acquisition community in obtaining a better understanding of who the decision makers are and determining how and when to plan T&E events so that they are efficient and effective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Department of Defense's (DOD) Office of the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation's (DOT&E) use of contractors. GAO found that: (1) DOT&E policies and procedures for managing contracts for operational test and evaluation (OT&E) support complied with existing guidelines; (2) DOT&E took measures that were consistent with regulations requiring agencies to guard against contractor conflicts of interest; (3) DOT&E use of the Institute for Defense Analyses as a contractor for OT&E support was permissible under federal regulations and appropriate, since the Institute was less likely than private contractors to have conflicts of interest; (4) of the $12.5 million DOT&E obligated to it during fiscal years 1987 through 1989, the Institute used about $2 million for 51 consultants and 2 subcontractors; (5) of those 51 consultants, 2 had been involved in overseeing programs that they subsequently performed operational test assessments on for DOT&E; and (6) in four instances, the Institute performed both acquisition and operational testing functions on the same weapon systems. GAO believes that disclosure of a consultant's prior work would be consistent with the regulation requiring disclosure of federally funded research and development centers' affairs.

Book excerpt: I have been working in Army test and evaluation (T & E) since 1974 and have seen enormous increases in the complexity of systems since I first started in the business. Systems in 1974 were largely stand-alone, analog, and mechanically controlled. Now to conduct and win the next major conflict with a conventional enemy or against violent extremist movements, previously unimagined systems are being developed and fielded to our warfighters. The complexity of these new systems is a result of addressing today's and tomorrow's threats with more accurate, lethal, reliable, survivable, interoperable, and maintainable systems. Most of today's systems are very software intensive and network enabled, and have on-board, complex subsystems. The complexities that often arise are a result of the interactions among the systems and subsystems, and as a result, they cannot be tested and evaluated in isolation. These systems are vital enablers that assist the warfighters in accomplishing their missions. These new systems are often a system of systems (SoS) on a single platform such as the mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles or a family of systems such as the Future Combat Systems (FCS) and the Stryker family of vehicles. The Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) uses a number of processes and best practices to T & E SoS and FoS per the policy and guidelines directed in the June 2007 Office of the Secretary of Defense Section 231 Report. Some of the challenges for the command in implementing the guidance found in the Section 231 Report are to maximize the use of mission-based test and evaluation, Modeling and Simulation (M & S), joint and distributed testing, reliability growth testing, and determining system interoperability (subsystem, system, and with multiple systems). This article discusses a few of these challenges.
