Engineering and Analysis

Abstract

The Engineering and Analysis effort provides essential BMDS ground and flight test event planning, execution, and evaluation activities for each test event: - Designing test architecture, defining test objectives and evaluation criteria, defining target requirements, and generating ground and flight test scenarios appropriate to the data collection requirements to assess BMDS performance and anchor Models and Simulations. - Producing the threat data for BMDS ground and flight tests. - Coordinating with BMDS Operational Test Agency (OTA) to address test issues, disposition them, coordinate them, with the OTA and recommend action plans to achieve closure. - Delivering HWIL M&S integration test cases. - Conducting M&S HWIL Integration Benchmark and integrating the BMDS HWIL M&S framework with MDA and non-MDA Elements into the test event BMDS architecture. - Integrating, testing, functionally qualifying, and delivering end-to-end BMDS simulations supporting ground test missions. - Analyzing System-level interoperability. - Conducting modeling and technical analysis for Combatant Command wargames and exercises. - Utilizing M&S for pre-test assessment and post-test review, as well as M&S updates. - Providing test configuration management; risk assessments; and anomaly/deficiency review, assessment and closure. - Analyzing test results to identify verification and validation data collection shortfalls and reassigning objectives to future test events as required. - Documenting BMDS test observations for system-level test anomalies and coordinating the resulting BMDS Discrepancy Reports within the Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) - Upgrading test analysis tools in concert with the BMDS evolution (e.g., Modular Analysis and Reporting Suite (MARS)) to enhance analysis capability and efficiency. Specific unique accomplishments per FY are as follows:
