Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An operational test and evaluation is an assessment of mission performance in a system's intended environment when operated, maintained, and supported by personnel with qualifications similar to those who will perform these functions in the field. The Air Force Test and Evaluation Center (AFTEC), established in 1974, is responsible for managing operational test and evaluation and providing an independent assessment on test results to the Secretary of the Air Force and Air Force Chief of Staff. AFTEC has improved Air Force operational testing, and further improvements are being planned. However, there are several limitations in the testing programs. The operational testing conducted by AFTEC was generally not performed in an environment that the systems would encounter when deployed, and the systems were not always operated and maintained by personnel with qualifications of expected users. Also, AFTEC had little control over the resources necessary to conduct initial operational testing. The Air Force practice of combining initial operational test and evaluation programs, while it may save costs, makes it unlikely to achieve the very different objectives of the two types of testing. AFTEC evaluations of operational effectiveness have been limited because they were not based on the most current operational concept. A new policy to provide concepts that will serve as a "contract" between developers and users and will provide current criteria has been incorporated into Air Force regulations.

This book was released on 1999-08-17 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Panel on Statistical Methods for Testing and Evaluating Defense Systems had a broad mandate-to examine the use of statistics in conjunction with defense testing. This involved examining methods for software testing, reliability test planning and estimation, validation of modeling and simulation, and use of modem techniques for experimental design. Given the breadth of these areas, including the great variety of applications and special issues that arise, making a contribution in each of these areas required that the Panel's work and recommendations be at a relatively general level. However, a variety of more specific research issues were either brought to the Panel's attention by members of the test and acquisition community, e.g., what was referred to as Dubin's challenge (addressed in the Panel's interim report), or were identified by members of the panel. In many of these cases the panel thought that a more in-depth analysis or a more detailed application of suggestions or recommendations made by the Panel would either be useful as input to its deliberations or could be used to help communicate more individual views of members of the Panel to the defense test community. This resulted in several research efforts. Given various criteria, especially immediate relevance to the test and acquisition community, the Panel has decided to make available three technical or background papers, each authored by a Panel member jointly with a colleague. These papers are individual contributions and are not a consensus product of the Panel; however, the Panel has drawn from these papers in preparation of its final report: Statistics, Testing, and Defense Acquisition. The Panel has found each of these papers to be extremely useful and they are strongly recommended to readers of the Panel's final report.
