Download or read book The Five Series Study written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-03-02 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 200,000 U.S. military personnel participated in atmospheric nuclear weapons tests between 1945 and the 1963 Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Questions persist, such as whether that test participation is associated with the timing and causes of death among those individuals. This is the report of a mortality study of the approximately 70,000 soldiers, sailors, and airmen who participated in at least one of five selected U.S. nuclear weapons test series1 in the 1950s and nearly 65,000 comparable nonparticipants, the referents. The investigation described in this report, based on more than 5 million person-years of mortality follow-up, represents one of the largest cohort studies of military veterans ever conducted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2019 Missile Defense Review - January 2019 According to a senior administration official, a number of new technologies are highlighted in the report. The review looks at "the comprehensive environment the United States faces, and our allies and partners face. It does posture forces to be prepared for capabilities that currently exist and that we anticipate in the future." The report calls for major investments from both new technologies and existing systems. This is a very important and insightful report because many of the cost assessments for these technologies in the past, which concluded they were too expensive, are no longer applicable.

Download or read book Statistics Testing and Defense Acquisition written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-05-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For every weapons system being developed, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) must make a critical decision: Should the system go forward to full-scale production? The answer to that question may involve not only tens of billions of dollars but also the nation's security and military capabilities. In the milestone process used by DOD to answer the basic acquisition question, one component near the end of the process is operational testing, to determine if a system meets the requirements for effectiveness and suitability in realistic battlefield settings. Problems discovered at this stage can cause significant production delays and can necessitate costly system redesign. This book examines the milestone process, as well as the DOD's entire approach to testing and evaluating defense systems. It brings to the topic of defense acquisition the application of scientific statistical principles and practices.

Download or read book Weapons Testing DOD Needs to Plan and Conduct More Timely Operational Tests and Evaluation written by GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON DC NATIONAL SECURITY AND INTERNATIONAL A FFAIRS DIV. and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several DOD and congressional initiatives to reduce risks in system acquisition and many reports have highlighted weapon system performance and testing shortfalls. Our review of six current systems plus other recent work shows that DOD has made little progress in assuring that earlier OT & E is planned and conducted. The military services generally are not conducting or planning to conduct OT & E on weapon system until after production start-up. In our view, the barriers we examined do not preclude earlier OT & E. With proper planning, an operational test can and should be accomplished before production start-up. We found that although some prototypes have been used for development test and evaluation, the military services generally are not planning to use them for OT & E before production start-up. We believe, however, that with adequate planning, prototypes can be designated for OT & E, if such testing is properly planned. Moreover, because test articles are available during the full-scale development phase of the acquisition process, it is generally not necessary to begin production to provide them for OT & E.

Download or read book Necessary Dod Range Capabilities to Ensure Operational Superiority of U S Defense Systems written by National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine and published by . This book was released on 2022-06-13 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rigorous operational testing (OT) of weapon systems procured by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is fundamental to ensuring that these sophisticated systems not only meet their stated requirements, but also perform under realistic operational conditions when faced by determined adversaries employing their own highly capable offensive and defensive weaponry. DoD's test and training range enterprise provides the geography, infrastructure, technology, expertise, processes, and management that make safe, secure, and comprehensive OT possible. The challenges facing the nation's range infrastructure are both increasing and accelerating. Limited test capacity in physical resources and workforce, the age of test infrastructure, the capability to test advanced technologies, and encroachment impact the ability to inform system performance, integrated system performance and the overall pace of testing. Necessary DoD Range Capabilities to Ensure Operational Superiority of U.S. Defense Systems assesses the physical and technical suitability of DoD test and evaluation ranges, infrastructure, and tools for determining the operational effectiveness, suitability, survivability, and lethality of military systems. This report explores modernization, sustainment, operations, and resource challenges for test and evaluation ranges, and makes recommendations to put the DoD range enterprise on a modernization trajectory to meet the needs of OT in the years ahead.

Download or read book Proving Grounds written by Edwin A. Martini and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proving Grounds brings together a wide range of scholars across disciplines and geographical borders to deepen our understanding of the environmental impact that the U.S. military presence has had at home and abroad. The essays in this collection survey the environmental damage caused by weapons testing and military bases to local residents, animal populations, and landscapes, and they examine the military’s efforts to close and repurpose bases—often as wildlife reserves. Together they present a complex and nuanced view that embraces the ironies, contradictions, and unintended consequences of U.S. militarism around the world. In complicating our understanding of the American military’s worldwide presence, the essayists also reveal the rare cases when the military is actually ahead of the curve on environmental regulation compared to the private sector. The result is the most comprehensive examination to date of the U.S. military’s environmental footprint—for better or worse—across the globe.

Download or read book Weapons Testing Quality of DoD Operational Testing and Reporting written by GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON DC PROGRAM EVALUATION AND METHODOLOGY DI V. and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1983, the Congress established the office of the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT & E) to effect reforms concerning operational testing. Prominent among the reform objectives were independent oversight and coordination of the military services' planning and execution of operational tests, and objective reporting of those results to decisionmakers in the DoD and the Congress. A fundamental congressional concern was that weapons were not being tested thoroughly or realistically and that complete and accurate information was not being disseminated. The GAO was asked to address two evaluation questions: 1) What is the methodological adequacy of OT & E under DOT & E oversight, and 2) what is the quality of DOT & E dissemination of information to the Congress? We reviewed relevant documentation on the OT & E of six weapons systems, as well as congressional testimony, DOD regulations, and outside literature on the conduct and reporting of testing and evaluation.
