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
The FY 2019 to FY 2020 funding increase supports additional Cyber Security manpower to meet the Program Cyber Security Operational Tests (OT) required by DoD. DoD mandated an increase in Cyber Security testing due to an increase in cyber intrusions from adversaries. Cyber intrusions continue to challenge our weapon systems' ability to detect threats, react to threats, and restore system functionality after a cyber-attack. Cyber intrusion prevention requires specialized training, tool sets, and increased proficiency in COMOPTEVFOR's cyber security test manpower. The FY 2019 to FY 2020 funding increase also supports the Network Modernization effort. Part of this modernization will strengthen COMOPTEVFOR's presence on the Defense Research Engineering Network (DREN) and enhance collaboration, access and data flow to stakeholders operating on NMCI. COMOPTEVOR legacy unclassified and classified networks prevent collaboration, sharing, and access to operational test tools, test results, and data with Commands that work for COMOPTEVOR while executing operational testing (VX-1, VX-9, VMX-1, HMX-1), organizations that use operational test products (SYSCOMs, PEO/PMs, Fleet Shore Commands), and VCNO, OPNAV Resource Sponsors, and ASN/RDA.
