Major T&E Investment

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) funds the development and acquisition of major developmental test instrumentation for the United States (US) 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 US Army Kwajalein Atoll (USAKA), which is managed by the Space and Missile Defense Command. This PE 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
Net FY18 funding increase of $31.864 million from previous submission reflects: a realignment of Range Radar Replacement Program (RRRP) funding in the amount of $35.506 million from Other Procurement, Army (OPA) to Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDTE) to align with the Acquisition Strategy; civilian pay adjustments ($0.018 Million); and non-RRRP reductions totaling $3.66 Million. Since RRRP provides equipment to the test community, all procured equipment will be appropriately resourced in the RDT&E appropriation.
