Development Test & Evaluation

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) establishes the dedicated funding line to carry out the duties as described in Title 10 US Code, Section 139, the Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act of 2009. The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Development Test and Evaluation (DASD(DT&E)) is the principal advisor to the Secretary of Defense, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USD(AT&L)) and the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (ASD(R&E)) on Development Test and Evaluation (DT&E) in the Department of Defense (DoD). The Development Test and Evaluation (DT&E) program element is budgeted in the Research Development Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) budget activity to support and improve the DT&E efforts of Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP), Major Automated Information System (MAIS), and other Special Interest (SI) acquisition programs designated by Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USD(AT&L)); as they progress through the acquisition/development lifecycle; assess the DT&E capabilities of the Military Departments and Department of Defense (DoD) Components; oversee the Test and Evaluation (T&E) career field of the defense acquisition workforce; develop policy and guidance for the conduct of DT&E within the DoD; and prepare the annual DT&E report to Congress. The Department of Operational Energy Plans and Programs (DOEPP) Project 806 is funded within this program element 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)).
