To be the best operational test agency, recognized for

impartial, accurate,and timely contributions that

continuously improveAmerica’s warfighting

capability.

Vision StatementVision Statement

We assess the capability of new systems to meet warfighter needs by

planning, executing, and reporting independent operational evaluations.

From concept development through system employment, we provide

effectiveness, suitability, and operational impact expertise in the

battlespace environment.

Approach To TestingApproach To Testing

• Early Involvement is critical to success

• Operational testing requires: –– PRODUCTIONPRODUCTION--REPRESENTATIVE REPRESENTATIVE

–– With demonstrated With demonstrated STABILIZED PERFORMANCESTABILIZED PERFORMANCE

–– In a representative In a representative OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENTOPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

• Effectiveness & Suitability evaluations

• Operational Impact Assessments

Seamless Verification/Integrated Testing

Seamless Verification/Integrated Testing

• Implemented through integrated test and evaluation- Integrates DT & OT objectives and participation - Early planning for utilization of test resources- Collaboration early in system development- Continuously evaluate systems- Eliminates pass-fail philosophy

• Not just combined testing, but using DT data for OT when possible

• Key stakeholders must integrate their efforts

• Title 10 responsibilities are still met - Independent and dedicated period of OT&E

System-of-Systems TestingEnsuring systems will work in their

intended environment, where they interact with other systems

Joint and Coalition TestingEnsuring Air Force systems will work with

systems from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and with Coalition forces.

Function Within the Air ForceFunction Within the Air Force

• Support delivery of new systems– Testing required by public law

• Enable the production of enhanced capabilities for military power and dominance

• Provide credible, accurate, operationally significant information

21

Air Force TransformationAir Force Transformation

• Capabilities Based Requirements– In the past, requirements were written

in terms of specificationsg “Radar must see 2000 km”

– Requirements are now written in terms of capabilitiesg “Radar must see target with sufficient distance

to successfully engage and defeat”

• Evolutionary Acquisition– Capability not delivered all at once– Capability delivered incrementally as

the system matures

22

Our Value To The WarfighterOur Value To The Warfighter

• Identify system capabilities and risks to successful system employment on the battlefield

• Identify contributions and force employment impacts to achieve battlefield objectives
