This book was released on 1990 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We reviewed the jurisdiction and the mission of the Office of the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation, including legislative intent, to determine whether the Operational Test and Evaluation (OT & E) Capability Improvement Program is within the scope of that mission or would be more appropriately conducted by another DOD organization. Although the Office of the Director, OT & E's statute does not prohibit it from conducting the OT & E Capability Improvement Program, we believe that the program does not fall within the Office of the Director, OT & E's mission. We therefore recommend that the Secretary of Defense direct and assure that the services plan, program, and budget for adequate test resources needed to conduct operational testing of weapon systems effectively. The Director, OT & E should continue to perform oversight and policy functions by reviewing and making recommendations to the Secretary of Defense to assure that adequate test resources are acquired.

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.

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.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operational Test and Evaluation Capability Improvement project is a focused, cohesive initiative to establish and maintain a distributed Department of Defense capability to conduct OT & E on conventional weapons systems in the most realistic environment that is reasonably attainable. Improved OT & E capability will allow DoD to make better production decisions and to better understand our current combat potential with existing weapons systems. This will be a continuing program as additional instrumentation and threat requirements are reviewed by the Services and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The acquisition of the individual elements will be based on the priority of needs of the operational testing community. The Director of Operational Test and Evaluations project funds DOT & E's costs for oversight of DoD OT & E. Oversight responsibilities require the DOT & E to become involved in any or all phases of OT & E including: advance test planning; test conduct, data reduction and analysis; evaluation and reporting. This project primarily funds contract technical and analytical support for DOT & E program specific and test capability planning oversight activities. Remaining funds are used to pay for program specific travel. Keywords: Military budgets; Military research; Weapons; Weapon system; Descriptive Summaries; Air-land-sea environment. (jg).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report addresses Test and Evaluation (T&E) of software intensive systems and the DoD's efforts to improve the software process. DoD software costs total over $30 billion a year, of which 2/3's is for maintaining, upgrading, and modifying operational systems already in production. Today's major defense systems depend largely on the quality of this complex and increasingly costly software. Because software error can cause a system to fail, possibly with life threatening consequences, software intensive systems need to be thoroughly tested before production. Charts and tables.

This book was released on 2004-01-29 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) is responsible for the operational testing and evaluation of Army systems in development. ATEC requested that the National Research Council form the Panel on Operational Test Design and Evaluation of the Interim Armored Vehicle (Stryker). The charge to this panel was to explore three issues concerning the IOT plans for the Stryker/SBCT. First, the panel was asked to examine the measures selected to assess the performance and effectiveness of the Stryker/SBCT in comparison both to requirements and to the baseline system. Second, the panel was asked to review the test design for the Stryker/SBCT initial operational test to see whether it is consistent with best practices. Third, the panel was asked to identify the advantages and disadvantages of techniques for combining operational test data with data from other sources and types of use. In a previous report (appended to the current report) the panel presented findings, conclusions, and recommendations pertaining to the first two issues: measures of performance and effectiveness, and test design. In the current report, the panel discusses techniques for combining information.

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.
