Test & Evaluation Support

Abstract

JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST and EVALUATION MANAGEMENT SUPPORT because it supports efforts directed toward sustaining or modernizing installations or operations required for general research, development, test and evaluation. This program provides institutional maintenance and operations support for: the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Detachment Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC), Andros Island, Bahamas; the Environmental Compliance Program; Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), Point Mugu and China Lake, CA; Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Patuxent River, MD; Test and Evaluation (T&E) related capabilities at the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Barking Sands, HI; Maintenance and Repair at NAWCWD, NAWCAD, and AUTEC; and the NUWC Keyport Nanoose and Dabob Bay Ranges. Project Unit 3386, Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) Marine Vessels, is a new start FY17 program which will provide the overhauls and preventative maintenance of the 23 MRTFB marine vessels located at NAWCWD, Point Mugu, CA, PMRF, Honolulu, HI, NUWC Keyport Nanoose and Dabob Bay Ranges, Keyport, WA, NAWCAD, Patuxent River, MD, and NUWC Detachment (AUTEC). The T&E activities make up the Navy portion of the Department of Defense's MRTFB. These activities are chartered to perform T&E for the development and acquisition of technology advanced weapons systems. Core T&E capabilities and capacity are operated to obtain weapons system performance documentation for acquisition program milestone decisions to provide operational forces with effective weapons systems. This program provides Navy Acquisition Program Managers required test capabilities; lowers cost of T&E; removes cost and scheduling impact of providing their own T&E resources; and retains the physical airspace, land space and sea space needed to conduct testing.
