Major T&E Investment

Abstract

This program funds the development and acquisition of major developmental test instrumentation for the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command's (ATEC) test activities: White Sands Test Center (WSTC), NM; Yuma Test Center, (YTC), AZ; Aberdeen Test Center (ATC), MD; Electronic Proving Ground (EPG), AZ; Redstone Test Center (RTC), AL; and for the Reagan Test Site (RTS) at the U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll (USAKA), which is managed by the Space and Missile Defense Command. The program also funds development and acquisition of Operational Test Command's (OTC) major field instrumentation. Requirements for instrumentation are identified through a long range survey of project managers, Research Development and Engineering Centers (RDECs), and Battle Laboratories developing future weapon systems and the test programs that support these systems. Army testing facilities are also surveyed to determine major testing capability shortfalls.

Change Summary Explanation
FY 2017 Budget adjustments in the amount of $29.534 million dollars was the result of a change in Army Test Evaluation Center's (ATEC) priority of requirements. Range Radar Replacement Program (RRRP), was increased by $23.090 million to continue Engineering Manufacturing Development (EMD) based on modifications in FY 2016 for the Fly-out and Close-in Radars systems in preparation for replacement of equipment at Aberdeen Test Center (ATC), Redstone Arsenal Center (RTC), White Sands Test Center (WSTC), and Yuma Test Center (YTC). Real Time Casualty Assessment (RTCA), also known as Integrated Live Virtual Constructive Test Environment (ILTE), was increased by $7.000 million to continue the development of hardware, software, interfaces, and new capabilities to ensure RTCA/ILTE requirements for upcoming operational tests are satisfied. The remainder of the Adjustments to Budget Years ($-556K) represents top loaded inflation rate adjustments.
