Developmental Testing: Industry/Government Roundtable – Perspectives on Transforming DT and OT Brian Simmons Technical Director U. S. Army Developmental Test Command 3 March 2004 Army Test and Evaluation Command
Bottom Line Upfront Key Factors Driving DT/OT Integration • • Technology spirals into current systems Time not available for sequential DT then OT Troops are deployed; hard to come by for OT Distributed test capability – online now AND • The Urgency of Fielding New Systems to an Army at War! 2 Army Test and Evaluation Command
Why DT/OT Integration? Army Testing Timeline Bradley Fighting Vehicle Years Stryker Months 1 Week FBCB 2/Blue Force Tracking Future will be more about weeks than years 3 Army Test and Evaluation Command
ATEC T&E While at War Planning for FCS Deployment breaking Traditional T&E phases Must focus more here in DT while at war Early DT LUT Traditional IOTE too late; Soldiers unavailable LRIP Full DT of production items CERTEX IOTE Full Rate Production Traditional T&E Phases Must maximize OT data Collection from CERTEX 4 Army Test and Evaluation Command

ATEC Operational Assessments (OA) Purpose is to assess system performance in an operational environment. • OA I Automated Battlefield Control System (ABCS) – Completed to support the decision for good enough • • • Stryker OA in progress • OA II Shortstop Electronic Protection System (SEPS) / WARLOCK Lightweight Counter-Mortar Radar UAVS – Raven, Shadow, Hunter, & Predator ……. Insights gained from these assessments support program decisions 6 Army Test and Evaluation Command

Joint Distributed DT/OT Issues • • Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN) and Defense Information System Network-Leading Edge Services (DISN-LES) Merge Protocols/Interfaces – Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA) • Funded by OSD CTEIP; All Services participating • Need to complete the effort • Need range-wide buy-in – Common Object Request Broker Architecture • Mandated for use in JTRS, other systems • Widely used in industry • • • – Real-time test requirements present challenges for both Fidelity of Simulations Classified Networks Joint Test Execution – Funding Strategy – Prioritization Future Demands that Test Interoperability – Procedures as important as Joint Operations Interoperability – Results 10 Army Test and Evaluation Command
Summary • ATEC was formed to optimize DT, OT and Evaluation effectiveness for the Army • Three years of combined T&E planning now paying dividends in supporting an Army at war. • Internal ATEC processes changing – continued DT and OT partnerships in test planning and conduct, as well as technology and instrumentation development are our path for the future 11 Army Test and Evaluation Command
