Ground Targets
Abstract
This Project funds Army efforts to support test and evaluation (T&E) of advanced weapon systems and supports Army Modernization and Tri-Service readiness by developing ground target surrogates, acquiring foreign equipment, and developing virtual target computer models of ground vehicle targets. These products are required to adequately stress weapon systems undergoing T&E. The U.S. Army is the Tri-Service lead for providing mobile ground targets for T&E. This tasking includes long-range planning to determine future target needs and development of coordinated requirement documents; the centralized management of the ground target research, development, test and evaluation processes; execution of the validation process; acquisition of foreign equipment; and continuing maintenance, storage, and development/enhancement/update via engineering services of developed and acquired targets to ensure availability for T&E customers. This Project also manages use of current assets and operates a centralized spare parts program.
