Army Evaluation Center
Abstract
This Program Element provides the resources to operate the Army Evaluation Center (AEC) which is responsible for all assigned developmental and independent operational evaluation of Army materiel, information and acquisition systems, an inherently government mission. This project funds direct civilian labor and minimum non-labor requirements to include: TDY, personnel training, career development, supplies and equipment, hardware, software, and other external OGA support for the RAM Center for Reliability Growth (CRG) and Underbody Blast Modeling and Simulation (UBM) initiatives. CRG improves reliability by providing policy, guidance, standards, methods, tools, and training resulting in increased materiel/operational availability, and initial operational testing success rates while decreasing support costs and logistics footprint. The UBM initiative identifies vehicle improvements directly impacting Soldier survivability. AEC consists of seven directorates (Aviation-Fires Evaluation Directorate, BMD Evaluation Directorate (funded by MDA), C4ISR Evaluation Directorate, Integrated Suitability & Methodology Directorate, Mounted Systems Evaluation Directorate, Soldier & Support System Evaluation Directorate and Survivability Evaluation Directorate) and a headquarters element. AEC receives staff services from ATEC HQ. The primary competencies of these directorates is to evaluate effectiveness, suitability, survivability independently; determine if PM and user directed requirements are met, direct the test strategy and verify system safety.
