B. (U) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MISSION REQUIREMENT AND SYSTEM CAPABILITIES:
(U) This effort provides for BMDO planning oversight and coordination of integrated Test and Evaluation
activities and inter-element, as well as inter-service Test and Evaluation efforts. Provides Independent
Test Evaluation of systems, technology programs and special reviews. Provides for test infrastructure
including: The National Test Facility; The Advanced Research Center; Simulation Center; common National
Test Bed support; common ground test facilities; high fidelity models and simulation to support system
development testing and evaluations including international cooperative with the United Kingdom, France,
Israel, and the SHAPE Technical Center (STC); common range support, range upgrades; special test
equipment and range instrumentation; Targets, test support assets; and test data documentation,
management and storage facilities. Using mobile test assets such as the Airborne Surveillance Testbed
(AST), provide critical signature and functional data essential to risk reduction and design of future
optical surveillance systems.
(U) This project includes funding in FY93 and FY95 for 3312 and funding in FY93 and FY94 for 3308.
Project 3314 is funded in FY93 and FY94 and funding for Operational Testing (3314) in the outyears will
be transferred from Program funding lines to 3314 for execution. The following projects are funded in
FY93-FY95: 3301, 3302, 3303, 3304, 3305, 3306, 3307, 3309, 3310, 3311, 3313, and 3314. This CDS also
provides for the development of the TMD System Exerciser. This integration tool will assist in
performing system level interoperability testing.
(U) This project is assigned to the Budget Activity and Program Element codes as identified in this
descriptive summary in accordance with existing Department of Defense policy. Further justification of
the Budget Activity code assigned to each Program Element is contained within the Brief Description of
Element section of each Program Element Summary.

E. (U) COMPARISON WITH FY 1994 DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY:
1. TECHNICAL CHANGES: Emphasis has shifted from an NMD (Strategic) focus to a TMD focus, based upon
the outcome of the Bottom Up Review
2. SCHEDULE CHANGES: Previously this work was distributed among multiple associated/related PMAs.
Support for NMD activities have been delayed or deleted. TMD activities have been programmed
consistant with program schedules.
3. COST CHANGES: Previously this work was distributed among multiple associated/related PMAs. Major
reductions have been made in the T&E cost associated with NMD, a FY95-FY99 reduction of $1,168M.
TMD T&E costs have increased to support increased TMD programs.
