Operational Test & Eval Capability
Abstract
Funding in this project funds the civilian salaries and operating costs for the Commander, Operational Test and Evaluation Force (COMOPTEVOR). In addition, it supports several senior management initiatives aimed at increasing efficiencies in Test and Evaluation (T&E). These initiatives include IT database and decision making technology upgrades; implementation of Integrated Testing and Mission Based Test Design across all programs; and improved staffing and expertise in the areas of DON acquisition processes, Modeling and Simulation, Statistical Studies, Cybersecurity, and similar disciplines. All of these initiatives are aimed at improving the quality of testing and evaluation, thus ensuring delivery to fleet units of fully tested and capable combat systems.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Fleet demand for Cybersecurity testing has increased by 63% since FY14 due to real world threats and Department of Defense (DoD) directives. Cyber Security threats continue to evolve and it has become more challenging for the Navy to protect systems, detect threats, react to threatens and restore system functionality after a cyber attack. These evolving threats require specialized training, tool sets and increased proficiency in COMOPTEVFOR's cyber security test manpower. The funding increase supports additional Cyber Security manpower to meet the Program Cyber Security Operational Tests (OT) required by DoD. The cyber manpower increase is offset by the realignment of 14 Management Headquarters Activity (MHA) FTE from this program element into 0902498N Management Headquarters (Departmental Support Accounts).
