Test & Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) Overview

1. Test & Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) Overview Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Charleston Advanced Technology Branch

2. TEMP Focus • Addresses the impact of requiring the use of contactless biometric card readers • Verify identity • Verify card authenticity and validity • Establish a plan for an Integrated Test and Evaluation Program (ITEP) for the card reader • Testing will support the Coast Guard’s second rule making for readers • Temp is a living document which is updated as plans mature or specific information is obtained • The TEMP is broken into sections • Introduction • Program Summary • ITEP Plan • ITEP Resource Summary

3. TEMP Introduction • Background on the TWIC program • Presents the 4 phases of the TWIC program • Emphasis on phases 3 (Prototype) & 4 (Implementation) • Provides card reader operational performance requirements and critical technical parameters • Planned test regions and facilities • Type • Business conducted • Employee count

4. TEMP Program Summary • Provides ITEP integrated schedule and organization • Schedule of critical events within the major testing activities • Organizational chart maps out the organizational entity relationships and documents each of their functions within the ITEP

5. ITEP Overview • ITEP has three major activities • Initial Technical Test (ITT) • Early Operational Assessment (EOA) • System Test and Evaluation (ST&E) • Three activities build upon each other to minimize redundancy • ITEP is predicated on this principle to decrease the amount of test duplication • Independent Test Agent (ITA) • Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center Charleston has been tasked by DHS to perform the ITA tasking for the ITEP

6. ITT Overview • Provides information regarding the technical capability of the card readers • Ensures the card reader will work for the EOA phase • ITT includes the environmental and specification conformance testing • Technical Test Plan • Incorporate Coast Guard regulations and Port requirements • Reader specifications • TEMP guidelines • Multiple Test resources will be leveraged • NIST laboratory testing • NAVAIR environmental testing • Vendor laboratory testing – Is there any available test documentation? • Independent laboratory testing • Collect and Analyze Data • Submit Quick Look Report • Submit final report

7. ITT Overview • Visit 5 geographical locations • Determine specific pilot facilities for EOA • Collect data for EOA baseline test plan • Define/clarify roles • Determine test use cases • Identify access points and existing methods • Data collection methods and resources • Duration and amount of data to collect • Develop EOA baseline test plan • TSA/DHS approval • Submit to ports • Disseminate to data collection resources • Acquire port acceptance of plan

8. EOA Overview • Focuses on collecting early data to support: • 2ND Rulemaking • Card reader suitability and effectiveness • Refinement for card reader specifications • Data collection – EOA First stage • Testing will be overseen by SPAWAR (Either witnessed or reported daily) • Port resources independent of SPAWAR will be utilized • Baseline data will be compared to data after new TWIC reader installation • Reader Installation • Readers are down selected based on ITT test results • Port resources install selected TWIC readers (SPAWAR witnesses install) • Data collection • Data is collected using post installation test procedures in the plan • SPAWAR witnesses or data is reported daily • SPAWAR quick look report after reader installation • Data collection must be instantaneous & reported for quick turn around • Analyze post installation data

9. ST&E Overview • Evaluates card reader effectiveness, suitability, and supportability • All inclusive of previous testing and results • Incorporates ITT and EOA lessons learned • Establish protocol for other sites/vessels to evaluate readers before the acquisition stage • Evaluate full impact of TWIC on facility and vessel operations • Port business process • Entrant processing • Modifications to current Access Control Systems (ACS) • Other burdens that face the facility or vessel operators to comply with TWIC • Finalize reader regulatory requirements • Support future card reader acquisitions • Support Coast Guard’s second rule making • Card readers will be subjected to normal operations • Monitoring will continue under normal operations

10. ITEP Resource Summary • Test articles • Sites and Instrumentation • Test Support Equipment • Simulations and Models • T&E administrative support • Manpower and training • Technical interfaces

11. Port Questions • High & low throughput times and access points • Sufficient duration and quantity of data collection • Peak Seasons • MARSEC levels for each access point • Measurement of flow of commerce • $ Dollar value • Time value • Relationship of throughput to dollars
