Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP)

Abstract

The Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) develops needed, high-priority Test and Evaluation (T&E) capabilities for joint/multi-Service requirements. CTEIP efforts include Hypersonics, Directed Energy, Cyber, Electronic Warfare, Nuclear Effects, Space, Autonomy and Multi-Domain Operations. Other Investments in test infrastructure align with objectives in the Strategic Plan for DoD T&E Resources for high priority test needs and common range Infrastructure. The CTEIP uses a corporate investment approach to combine T&E needs from Service, Defense, and other Government agencies in order to maximize opportunities for joint efforts and avoid unwarranted duplication of test capabilities. CTEIP evaluates and selects for execution, proposals that align to the NDS and USD(R&E) priorities, provide the greatest return on investment, make efficient use of limited test resources, leverage Service investment; and promote joint solutions to fill test capability gaps. CTEIP provides enterprise solutions that benefit the Department as a whole. The CTEIP provides needed T&E investments which align to USD(R&E) priorities and the Strategic Plan for DoD T&E Resources. These investments are needed so that test capabilities keep pace with U.S. and adversary technical advances as well as with quickly changing threats. The CTEIP includes special studies, analyses, project improvements, quick reaction efforts and strategic planning related to test capabilities and infrastructure. CTEIP investments increase efficiency and reduce the cost of testing on DoD’s major ranges and test facilities. CTEIP continues to serve as the focal point for fostering common architectures throughout the test and training communities to enhance the sharing of resources and linkages between test and training ranges.
