T&E/S&T Program Overview
The T&E/S&T program:
Exploits new technologies and processes to meet important T&E requirements
Expedites the transition of new technologies from the laboratory environment to the T&E community.
Leverages commercial equipment, modeling and simulation, and networking innovations to support T&E
Examines emerging requirements derived from joint service initiatives
Identifies needed technology areas and develops a long-range roadmap for technology insertion
Leverages research efforts from the highly developed technology base in the DoD labs, test centers, other government agencies, industry, and academia
NST T&E Needs(1 of 2)
Recreate the Net-Centric Test Battlespace
Emulate tactical edges
Test mission threads with limited participants
Integration/Responsiveness of Virtual Component with Live Component
Integration of Cyber/Information Operations with Kinetic Simulations
Representation of the Network Infrastructure and Network Environment
Representation of Cyber threat to NSUT
Simulate/Stimulate Irregular Warfare for urban environment
Verification & Validation (V&V) of the Synthetic Battle Environment (SBE)
T&E/S&T Project Critical Factors
T&E Need (Gaps)
Address a known T&E technological gap.
Understanding of the current T&E capabilities and techniques
Understand capabilities and techniques for the future of T&E
S&T Challenge
What needs to be done to effectively address the T&E Need
Efficiencies and test capacity improvements as a result of the technology developed or matured
Results of project will significantly advance technology and thereby significantly enhance current test capabilities
High Risk-High Payoff
The project improves testing rigor and capabilities relevant to Net-Centric technology improvements
Reduces the cost of government operations
Provides an improved capability to test operators
