  1. Focus on the Future:System of System (SoS) Testing –A Journey… Starts at the Beginning… Essential!!! RDML Jeffrey “Zoil” Penfield, Commander, Operational Test and Evaluation Force (COTF) 10 Oct 2012

  2. FROM LEADERSHIP “. . .CAN THE SYSTEMS WE DEVELOP BE COMMONLY USED ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS? CAN THE COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEM USED IN ONE PLACE BE USED IN ANOTHER? ARE THE SYSTEMS WE DEVELOP INTEROPERABLE?” ADMIRAL GARY ROUGHEAD, FORMER CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS Global Mission vs Budget

  3. Current Acquisition System Warfighter’s Requirement Resources Provider Operational Test System vsSoS

  4. A SoS Approach Is Possible The Right Investments Are Critical SoS System Engineering is Essential

  5. But That’s Challenging

  6. Pg 1 of 1200 Coordinated Implementations Standards: complex and open to interpretation x Different programs, contractors, and services creating stovepipes (minimum overlap) Independent Implementations Government Defined Implementation Coordinated Implementation

  7. Where We Need To Head Effects Chain Functions SURVEILLANCE DETECT ASSESS TRACK ID LAUNCH CONTROL WEAPON CUE ACCURACY AT SAFE RANGE KILL CRITERIA AT LAUNCH RANGE FULL INTEGRATION TO SAFELY LAUNCH VOLUME COVERAGE TARGETING AT SAFE RANGE CONFIDENCE ACCURACY RANGE DIRECT DAMAGE INDICATIONS FULL INTEGRATION DATA LINK • Requiring, Resourcing, Managing/Developing/SE, Testing, at Capability/SoS Level

  8. Effect/Kill Chains Surveil Detect Track ID (Commit Engage) Launch Control Weapon (Kinematics Lethality) Assess E-2C E-2C E-2C E-2C F/A-18 C/D F/A-18 C/D SLAM-ER E-2C EA-18G EA-18G EA-18G EA-18G F/A-18EF 73 F/A-18EF 73 EA-18G F/A-18 C/D F/A-18 C/D F/A-18CD F/A-18EF 79 F/A-18EF 79 F/A-18 C/D F/A-18EF 73 F/A-18EF 73 F/A-18EF 73 F/A-18EF 73 P-3C P-3C F/A-18EF 79 F/A-18EF 79 F/A-18EF 79 F/A-18EF 79 SLAMER P-3C P-3C P-3C P-3C LSRS LSRS LSRS LSRS P-3C EP-3 EP-3 MH-60R EP-3 LSRS CG / DDG MH-60R MH-60R MH-60R EP-3 CG / DDG CG / DDG SSN CG / DDG MH-60R SSN SSN SSN CG / DDG SSN Seams Matter!

  9. COTF Initiatives • System Under Test (SUT) • Test of OPNAV’s investment • Blue Sheets • Program Accountability • System of System (SOS) • Rest of the story… • Tactical context = SOS • Kill / Effect chain application – when feasible • Gold sheets • Broader Accountability • Warfare Capability Baseline

  10. Challenges • Paradigm shift from system to System of system • Acquisition Process • System Engineering • More dollars associated with one program/capability • Management complexity • Development complexity • Test complexity • Etc etc But… better product at the end!!!

  11. Questions / Comments???!!!
