0604759F Major Test And Evaluation Investment

(U) A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

This program element provides planning, improvements, and modernization for test capabilities at three Air Force Test Centers: Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC), Air Force Development Test Center (AFDTC), and Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC). The purpose is to help test centers keep pace with emerging weapon system technologies. Test investment activities are also funded at the Space and Missile Systems Center Test Directorate (SMC/TE) and the Joint Program Office (JPO) for T&E. The fluctuations in the funding at these locations are due to changing priorities in the improvement and modernization requirements as defined through the AF Test Investment Planning & Programming. Also, all projects have been reviewed through the Tri-Service Reliance effort (to communicate AF efforts to the other services and avoid unwarranted duplication of effort) and are documented in the Test Capability Master Plans. Further, each project has its own planning, development, equipment acquisition/facility construction, equipment installation, and checkout phases which often requires significant differences in funding from one year to the next. As such, the changes in funding from year to year do not necessarily indicate program growth but rather a planned phasing of improvement and modernization efforts. The test capabilities at these centers enable testing through all phases of weapon system acquisition from system concept exploration through component and full scale integrated weapon system testing to operational testing. These three test centers have over $10B worth of unique test facilities/capabilities. They are a national asset operated and maintained by the Air Force for DoD test and evaluation missions, but they are available to others having a requirement for their unique capabilities. Beginning in FY98, T&E investments are consolidated in this project to properly reflect that Air Force investments are determined at the component and DoD level. Prior to FY98 investments were reflected by test center and led to misperceptions that investment planning was geographically determined.

(U) A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification The AFDTC, located at Eglin AFB, FL, conducts and supports developmental test and evaluation and operational test and evaluation of non-nuclear air armaments, C⁴I systems, and target acquisition and weapon delivery systems; provides a climatic simulation capability; and determines target/test item electronic signatures. The Guided Weapon Evaluation Facility (GWEF) provides a full spectrum, multifunctional seeker/sensor laboratory test capability for all guided weapons. Common Airborne Instrumentation System (CAIS) Integration provides standardized airborne test to enhance interoperability and commonality. GPS Range Systems will provide a major improvement for Time-Space-Position-Information (TSPI) at all MRTFBs and specifically at the Eglin Ranges for munitions testing. Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C⁴I) Test Capabilities Upgrade will provide connectivity to existing capabilities and add needed networks and hardware to develop a C⁴I test bed. The Preflight Integration of Munitions and Electronic Systems (PRIMES) facility conducts preflight test and evaluation of total integrated weapon systems in a secure anechoic chamber. The Armament Systems Test Environment (ASTE) Range Systems effort upgrades instrumentation of the major data collection systems supporting open air testing. The Climatic Test Facility modernization of instrumentation and environmental capabilities supports the military construction upgrade, extending its useful life to 2015. Mission Control/Data Analysis provides for real-time central mission control and analysis. Multispectral Missile Engagement Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) Test provides a capability to support multiple and wide field-of-view missile engagements incorporating multispectral stimulations. These projects ensure test center technology is compatible with weapon systems to be tested such as AMRAAM, JDAM, AGM-130, ASRAAM, JTIDS, JSTARS, Combat Talon, etc.

Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC), Arnold AFB, TN, provides ground environmental test support for DoD aeronautical, missile, and space programs. The center has 53 test facilities providing: aerodynamic testing of scale model aircraft, missile, and space systems; testing of large and full-scale satellites, sensors, and space vehicles in a simulated space environment; altitude environmental testing for aircraft, missile, and spacecraft propulsion systems; and testing of large-scale models such as space boosters together with their propulsion systems. The AEDC Data Acquisition and Processing System (DAPS) provides processing capability for advanced turbine engine testing on programs like the F-22. This effort also upgrades data systems for the arc heaters and hypervelocity gun facility for Theater High Altitude Air Defense (THAAD) testing. Inefficiencies in these current data systems result in increased program costs and schedule delays. The Computer Aided Modernization Project (CMP) will provide increased capability for data processing and storage and provide wider availability of workstations. The Propulsion Wind Tunnel (PWT) Sustainment project sustains long-term operation of tunnels 16T and 16S to meet transonic/supersonic test needs. The Improve Turbine Engine Structural Integrity project will provide new state-of-the-art structural test monitoring and data analysis systems to support turbine engine structural tests to detect and analyze high cycle fatigue.

The AFFTC, located at Edwards AFB, conducts and supports developmental test and evaluation and operational test and evaluation of aircraft and aircraft systems, aerospace research vehicles, unmanned miniature vehicles, cruise missiles, parachutes delivery/recovery systems, and cargo-handling systems. The AF Common Airborne Instrumentation System (CAIS) Integration & Support (CAIS I&S) supports DoD objectives for interoperability/commonality. The goal of CAIS I&S is to integrate CAIS equipment and supporting instrumentation equipment and systems to provide a full airborne instrumentation operational capability. The Advanced Data Acquisition and Processing Systems (ADAPS) project provides an integrated capability to satisfy real-time first generation post-test data processing, archival, and display requirements of the next decade. The developmental approach is directed towards providing a high degree of interoperability between systems and components by adherence to Air Force and DoD guidelines. The technologies being developed under ADAPS have the potential to satisfy data processing and display needs at various multi-service test ranges. The Space Based Data Relay (SBDR) project provides the capability for ARIA to fulfill customer needs for real time, high-speed data, and greatly improve the overall range data relay capability. The Flight Simulator Modernization project will upgrade the Test and Evaluation Modeling and Simulation (TEMS) facility to meet future man-in-the loop simulator requirements.

The Space and Missile Systems Center's Test Directorate (SMC/TE) is located at Kirtland AFB, NM and is responsible for test planning and implementation for all space and ballistic missile systems. The Combined Space Test Task Force project will provide the capability to develop and test new satellites and ground control systems.

Beginning in FY98, T&E investments are consolidated in this project to properly reflect that Air Force investments are determined at the component and DoD level. Prior to FY98 investments were reflected by test center and led to misperceptions that investment planning was geographically determined.
