  1. T&E Implementation of JCIDS Dr. Marion L. Williams Chief Scientist AFOTEC 3 March 04

  2. Strategic Planning Guidance • “Developing and fielding joint force capabilities requires adequate, realistic test and evaluation in a joint operational context. To do this, the Department will provide new testing capabilities and institutionalize the evaluation of joint system effectiveness as part of new capabilities-based processes. • “D(OT&E) will develop a roadmap for the Deputy Secretary of Defense no later than May 2004 that addresses the changes necessary to ensure that test and evaluation is conducted in a joint environment to enhance fielding of needed joint capabilities.”

  3. Testing in Joint Environment • Goal • Adequate, realistic test and evaluation conducted in a joint environment appropriate to the maturity of the system involved • During development • Before full rate production • After fielding • Scope • The joint environment is an appropriate mix of live, virtual, and constructive assets which represent documented joint mission tasks

  6. Implementation • Planning for joint mission T&E will be in terms of joint mission requirements • The Joint Mission Environment will leverage on JNTC and existing facilities (Virtual Warfare Center, Cyber Warfare Integration Center, Distributed Mission Operations Center, etc.) • For acquisition programs, requirements for testing in a joint environment will depend on the interactions and interoperability the program will have with the other elements of the joint mission • Initial requirements for Joint Mission Environment will be based on JCAS, JF and JCID Joint Tactical Tasks

  7. Roadmap Elements • Joint Mission Environment • Develop a T&E capability for testing in a joint environment • Acquisition and Programs • Use of Joint Mission Environment by Acquisition Programs • Process • Coordinating development and use of a joint mission environment • Enabling Technology • Technical issues to be addressed • Policy Issues • Areas where new or revised policy may be required

  8. Summary • New policies have a major impact on T&E • Joint mission testing throughout acquisition • Shift OT&E focus from system performance to system employment in the joint battlespace • Broaden OT&E use of evaluation tools • … without changing OT&E’s Title 10 responsibility • Significant challenges remain • Testing and training • Joint mission T&E capability development, operations, maintenance and scheduling • Early definition of joint doctrine and JTTPs • Compatible models and integrating architecture • M&S support • Etc……….
