Major Operational Test Instrumentation
Abstract
Major Operational, Instrumentation and Modeling and Simulation (M&S) in support of Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC). Analysis and development for Real-Time Casualty Assessment and instrumentation suite (RTCA) that delivers a high fidelity, realistic, real-time capability to measure hardware and personnel performance in modern combat environments. RTCA enables testing under tactical conditions for small and large-scale operations while integrating network operations and effects in support of the Army Equipment Modernization Plan. RTCA also allows the U.S. Army to test all Current-to-Future, weapon systems in a realistic operational environment. RTCA Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDTE) develops performance enhancements and technology upgrades to the operational test command, control, and communications , communications network, weapons system interfaces, vehicle and dismounted-troop kits and peripherals, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), encryption components, and integrates operational realistic digital battlefield data collection and analysis tools. These tools will collect, store and analyze data from the digital battlefield. Improvements will enable the RTCA system to measure and record accrued damage, levels of exposure, effects of countermeasures, evasive action, and instrument threat vehicles. This capability is required by the operational test community to integrate digital battlefield data collection and analysis tools into the Network Integration Evaluation (NIE), M1, M2, Stryker, Armored Multi Purpose Vehicle (AMPV), 64E, Gray Eagle and other operational tests.
