0605712F Initial Operational Test & Eval

(U) A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: This program funds IOT&E tests conducted to evaluate a system's operational effectiveness and suitability and to identify any operational deficiencies or need for modifications in support of the acquisition process. IOT&E is an evaluation of a system's performance when the complete system is tested and evaluated against operational criteria by personnel with the same qualifications as those who will operate, maintain and support the system when deployed. In general, IOT&E is performed on new systems in development, major modifications and other systems as directed. This PE funds Congressionally mandated IOT&E to support major weapon system acquisition decisions (Milestone III). For major systems designated for use in combat, the law requires IOT&E be completed under realistic field conditions before proceeding beyond low rate initial production. As an essential element of IOT&E, this PE will fund major Operational Utility Evaluations (OUE), Early Operational Assessments (EOA) and Operational Assessments (OA) which support major milestones and decision points prior to Milestone III. IOT&E programs are identified in five categories: aircraft/support; space; missile/munitions; computer, communication, command and control and information (C4I); and general. This PE funds the costs of the test (e.g., data reduction, range costs, etc.), not the development of test resources or the maintenance of test infrastructure.
