Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP)

Abstract

This program supports the Department's initiatives to defend the homeland, deter strategic attacks and aggression while prevailing in conflict, building enduring advantage, and building a resilient Joint Force and defense ecosystem. Since its inception in FY 1990, Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) provides the development of the most needed, high-priority Test and Evaluation (T&E) capabilities for joint/multi-Service requirements. CTEIP investments address strategic requirements related to Hypersonics, Directed Energy, Cyber, Electronic Warfare, Nuclear Effects, Space, Autonomy, and Multi-Domain Operations. 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, 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 test capabilities keep pace with U.S. and adversary technical advances as well as, with quickly changing threats.
