The Effect of Operational Test Requirements on Army Project Management.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to learn what and why Operational test and evaluation (OT and E) is required during the Army's materiel acquisition cycle in order to understand the effect of OT and E requirements on Army project management. The study effort included research of the background of the formalization of OT and E requirements in the Army's materiel acquisition process and the requirements that exist now and an investigation, primarily through interviews, into the effect on current project management. OT and E is required to support decisions to enter full-scale development, initial production, full production, and deployment. The effect of OT and E requirements is that not all the incremental costs of OT and E are funded by the operational tester. Some of those costs must be provided from project resources.
