(U) This project provides for BMDO planning oversight and coordination of integrated Test and Evaluation activities, as well as inter-service Test and Evaluation efforts [Family of Systems (FoS)]. Once the test plans are developed, test resource and target development and support is provided. (Test resources located in Project 3360 include test facilities, ranges and test instrumentation; target development and support is found in Project 3354). The program provides for support to the Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) mandatory Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E) testing. This includes estimates of probability of kill of chemical/biological submunitions, creation of models to determine chemical/biological ground effects, confirmation of damage laws from low mass/high velocity intercepts, confirmation of damage laws from high velocity rods, development of generic lethality targets. Additionally, this project provides the following: independent test evaluation of systems, technology programs and special reviews; fidelity models and simulation to support system development testing; and execution of independent technical reviews, system analyses and performance evaluations which contribute to new capabilities, management of the development process, and the decision-making process related to the allocation of resources. The performance evaluation has as its primary goal the identification and understanding of system-level performance drivers and the mitigation of technical risk, and provide timely answers to critical issues and questions required by decision authorities through an annual Consolidated Evaluation report.
(U) This project provided lethality test data which supported the PATRIOT Advance Capability Level 3 (PAC-3) Milestone II (MSII) decision and will support the THAAD and Navy Area TBMD Defense MSII decision. It provided independent evaluations of high interest technical issues for TMD acquisition programs, and TMD system level Test and TMD system level test tools.

Funding: Due to Congressional direction, program-specific lethality funding has been moved to projects 2257 (PATRIOT), 2260 (THAAD), 2263 (Navy Area TBMD) and 1266 (Navy Theater-Wide TBMD). Funding increased due to the initiation of System Integration Tests (SITs) in FY97 and the outyears. Greater emphasis on lethality and evaluation represents planned growth to reflect the overall pace of the TMD program. Evaluation effort provides funding to support service evaluation efforts (e.g., AMSAA) during intense test periods.
Schedule: Changing funding priorities in FY96 resulted in a TMDSE Build 2 slip of approximately 6 months. Beginning development of Build 3 slips to FY98.
