Development Test & Evaluation
Abstract
The Developmental Test and Evaluation program element is budgeted in the Research and Development budget activity because it supports and assesses the DT&E efforts of each Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) and other Special Interest acquisition programs as designated by USD (AT&L), assesses the DT&E capabilities of the Military Departments and DoD Components, oversees the DT&E acquisition workforce, issues policy and guidance for the conduct of DT&E within DoD, and produces the annual DT&E report to Congress. The Department of Operational Energy Plans and Programs (DOEPP) is funded within this program element in FY11 for technical analysis and policy guidance for the DoD operational energy programs and initiatives, including institutionalizing energy in DoD’s business processes (e.g., Fully Burdened Cost of Fuel and the Energy Efficiency Key Performance Parameters (KPPs)). In FY12, funding will be re-allocated to a new DOEPP Program Element.
