Army Technical Test Instrumentation and Targets
Abstract
This funding line supports test and evaluation (T&E) of Army Modernization Priority Programs. This Program Element (PE) provides critical front-end investments for development of: new test methodologies and standards; advanced test technology concepts; future T&E; advanced modeling, simulation and instrumentation prototypes; and full-scale development of T&E capabilities for the United States (U.S) Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC), which includes the Operational Test Command (OTC) at Ft Hood, Texas; Aberdeen Test Center (ATC), Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland; White Sands Test Center (WSTC) at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico; Electronic Proving Ground (EPG), Fort Huachuca, Arizona; Yuma Test Center (YTC) at Yuma Proving Grounds (YPG), Arizona (including the Cold Regions Test Center (CRTC), Fort Greely, Alaska and the Tropics Regions Test Center (TRTC), at various locations); and Redstone Test Center (RTC), Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. OTC consists of four forward Test Directorates (Airborne and Special Operations Test Directorate, Fort Bragg, North Carolina; Air and Missile Defense Test Directorate, Fort Bliss, Texas; Fires Test Directorate, Fort Sill, Oklahoma; and the Intelligence Electronic Warfare Test Directorate, Fort Huachuca, Arizona) together with four other Test Directorates (Aviation; Maneuver; Mission Command; Maneuver Support and Sustainment) at Ft Hood, Texas. These T&E capabilities are required to support T&E requirements of Army signature modernization efforts to support development of Multi-Domain Operations (MDO)-capable Forces. These activities enable Army Futures Command (AFC) signature modernization efforts readiness and support the development and fielding cycle of all Army acquisition programs including rapid fielding initiatives and programs of record. Sustainment funding maintains existing T&E capabilities at all locations by replacing unreliable, uneconomical, obsolete, and irreparable instrumentation, as well as incremental upgrades of hardware and software for modeling, simulation, and instrumentation systems to assure adequate test data collection capabilities. This data supports acquisition milestone decisions for all test mission areas throughout the Army including programs such as the 105-mm Mobile Howitzer, 30mm/40mm ammunition, Active Protection System (APS), AH-64 Block III, APR-39C(V)1 Radar, Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV), Army Integrated Air-Missile Defense (AIAMD), Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS), Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), CH-47F Chinook, Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE), Common Infrared Counter Measures (CIRCM), Counter Small Unmanned Aerial System (c-SUAS), Counter Rocket Artillery Mortar (C-RAM), Dismounted Assured PNT System (DAPS), Distributed Common Ground System - Army (DCGS-A), Capability Drop 2, Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN), Precision Strike Missile (PrSM). Enhanced Night Vision Goggle- Binocular (ENVG-B), Expedient Leader Follower, Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA), Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV), Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS), Integrated Tactical Network (ITN), Javelin, Joint Air-to- Ground Missile (JAGM) for US Navy, Joint Assault Bridge (JAB), Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), Leader Radio, M109A7 Paladin/M992A3, M1A2 Abrams, M-2/3 Bradley Expedited Active Protection System (ExAPS), M-2/3 Bradley Fist, M776 Chrome Tube, M777 Long Range Cannon, Maneuver Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD), ManPack (MP), Mounted Assured PNT System (MAPS), M10 Booker Combat Vehicle (BCV), Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle, Patriot 3 (PAC-3), Precision Guidance Kit (PGK), Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV), Shadow Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (TUAS), Stinger Shelf life Extension Program (SLEP), Stryker, Systems for Assured Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT), Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), UH-60M Black Hawk, and XM113. Also supports AFC and Army Signature Modernization efforts to include Project Convergence and PNT Assessment Exercise (PNTAX).
