System-Level Verification and Assessment

Abstract

This activity funds BMD System Assessment and Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A) activities to support BMDS Operational Capacity Baseline (OCB) delivery decisions and Technical Capability Declarations (TCDs), and anchor System modeling & simulation. - Develop and manage assessment plans and requirements for BMDS capability increments: -- Map assessment requirements to data collection venues (i.e., ground tests, flight tests, and exercises). -- Evaluate current Modeling & Simulation (M&S) capability to address assessment requirements, and provide recommendations for new or improved M&S. - Maintain assessment documentation per the R4 summary. - Conduct extensive analysis of data collected in BMDS ground and flight test events to characterize BMDS interoperability and performance, and anchor models and simulations. - Identify mitigation approaches for system performance issues uncovered during the course of analysis and assessment. - Monitor development and recommend improvements to the simulation enterprise based on an evaluation of the validity of Component, Element and System-level models (and frameworks) and participation in assessment activities and Modeling and Simulation events. - Continue VV&A activities to meet and maintain Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) model accreditation in accordance with the HWIL Accreditation plan - Conduct assessments of BMD System capabilities and limitations prior to capability delivery decisions. - Produce independent assessments of each incremental BMDS Capability Delivery to support fielding readiness determinations. - Verify BMDS performance against specified requirements, and produce BMDS verification reports. - Maintain M&S VV&A database and toolkit. - Maintain verification data for BMD System Specification Change Notices. - Recommend solutions to improve assessment confidence, including M&S and testing issue resolutions. Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
