Government Test and Evaluation (Performance Testing)
Abstract
During the Rapid Prototyping phase, the Government executed performance testing on sixteen (16) prototypes (eight per contractor) and four BH&T assets (two per contractor). FY 2021 and FY 2022 performance testing during the Rapid Prototyping phase included Ballistic Hull & Turret (BH&T) survivability testing and Pre-Production Testing (PPT), which consisted of vehicle-level lethality, Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM), and electromagnetic compatibility and interference testing. PPT also contained an initial cybersecurity evaluation. BH&T testing provided Force Protection and vehicle-level survivability data while PPT provided vehicle-level automotive, lethality, and RAM performance data. The results of Rapid Prototyping performance testing has informed the LRIP down select, which occurred on 24 June 2022. During the LRIP phase, the Government will execute performance testing on twelve (12) vehicles. Performance testing during the LRIP phase will include survivability testing and Production Quality Testing (PQT), which consists of vehicle-level lethality, RAM, electromagnetic compatibility and interference testing, environmental performance testing, and cybersecurity testing.
