Test and Evaluation/Science and Technology
Abstract
The Test and Evaluation /Science and Technology (T&E/S&T) program seeks out and develops test technologies to pace evolving weapons technology. The program is critical to ensuring that the Department of Defense (DoD) has the capability to adequately test the advanced systems that will be fielded in the future. To meet this objective, the T&E/S&T program: - Exploits new technologies and processes to meet important Test and Evaluation (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. Additionally, the T&E/S&T program examines emerging T&E requirements derived from joint service initiatives to identify needed technology areas and develop a long-range roadmap for technology insertion. The program leverages and employs applicable 6.2 applied researches from the highly developed technology base in the DoD laboratories and test centers, other government agencies, industry, and academia to accelerate the development of new test capabilities. This PE also provides travel funds for T&E/S&T program oversight, special studies, analyses, and strategic planning related to test capabilities and infrastructure. The T&E/S&T program is funded within the Advanced Technology Development Budget Activity because it develops and demonstrates high payoff technologies for current and future DoD test capabilities.
