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 stay in pace with evolving weapons technologies. This program is critical to ensure that the Department of Defense (DoD) has the ability to adequately test the advanced systems that will be fielded in the future. To meet this objective, the T&E/S&T Program performs the following activities: • 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 industry advances in equipment, modeling and simulation, and networking to support T&E. Additionally, the T&E/S&T Program examines emerging T&E requirements resulting from Joint Service initiatives to identify T&E technology needs and develop a long-range roadmap for technology insertion. The program leverages and employs applicable applied research efforts from the highly developed technology base in DoD laboratories and test centers, other government agencies, industry, and academia to accelerate development of new test capabilities. This program 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 aligns with the S&T Communities of Interest (COI) to prepare the T&E community to test warfighting capabilities that emerge from priority S&T investments. 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.
