Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP)

Abstract

Since its inception in FY 1990, Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) provides the development of critically needed, high-priority Test and Evaluation (T&E) capabilities for joint/multi-Service requirements. CTEIP projects include Hypersonics, Directed Energy, Cyber Security, Electronic Warfare, Missile Defense, Nuclear Effects, Space, Autonomy and Command/Control and Communications. Other Investments in test infrastructure align with objectives in the Strategic Plan for DoD T&E Resources for high priority test needs and common range Infrastructure. The CTEIP uses a corporate investment approach to combine T&E needs from Service, Defense, and other Government agencies in order to maximize opportunities for joint efforts and avoid unwarranted duplication of test capabilities. CTEIP evaluates and selects for execution, project proposals that align to the NDS and USD(R&E) priorities, provide the greatest return on investment, make efficient use of limited test resources, leverage Service investment, and promote joint solutions to fill test capability gaps. CTEIP provides enterprise solutions that benefit the whole Department. These investments are needed so that test capabilities keep pace with U.S. and adversary technical advances as well as, with quickly changing threats. The CTEIP includes special studies, analyses, project improvements, quick reaction efforts and strategic planning related to test capabilities and infrastructure. CTEIP investments increase efficiency and reduce the cost of testing on DoD’s major ranges and test facilities. CTEIP continues to serve as the focal point for fostering common architectures throughout the test and training communities to enhance the sharing of resources and linkages between test and training ranges. CTEIP investments in FY 2022 will modernize Long Range Fires and Nuclear Test & Evaluation infrastructures. Long Range Fires modernization will develop new capabilities to test the effectiveness of new materials and designs for long range ballistic/hypersonic weapon systems. Nuclear Enterprise modernization will revitalize DoD’s nuclear effects test and evaluation simulators, M&S and other test capabilities needed to assess existing weapon systems, weapons modernization programs and other mission critical systems that must be tested against these effects. CTEIP investments in FY 2022 will also include increased investments in high-priority hypersonic ground and open-air range test capability, critically needed upgrades to DoD Threat Models and Simulations, High Energy Laser test facilities, Nuclear Effects simulators, and live/virtual unmanned autonomous systems.
