Operational Test and Evaluation
Abstract
Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) Oversight This effort is in direct support of the Director’s Title 10 responsibilities and is a continuing effort. Funding for Fiscal Year 2023 provides OT&E inputs for TEMPs, TPs, System Acquisition Reports, and Defense Acquisition Executive Summary Reports for those programs designated for oversight by DOT&E. The Key elements are identified in the DOD Instructions signed by the DOT&E and the Under Secretary of Defense (Research & Evaluation). This also includes funding for congressionally mandated Test & Evaluation (T&E) oversight of all middle tier of acquisition programs and programs utilizing other Accelerated Acquisition authorities. This includes the development of independent T&E concepts for such programs, review of programs’ T&E strategies; observation of relevant test events to ensure compliance with TPs; independent data analysis and development of reports to Secretary of Defense and Congress on all matters related to test adequacy and demonstrated operational effectiveness, suitability, survivability and lethality.
