T and E Uniform Funding Policy, An Appraisal of the Fiscal Year 1975 Experience.

Abstract

The Department of Defense implemented a new approach to the funding of most Test and Evaluation Facilities in fiscal year 1975. The new approach was called the Test and Evaluation Uniform funding Policy. It required all federal agencies using Test and Evaluation support to fund the direct costs associated with their individual programs. This study reports a synthesis of the growing pains of the Uniform Funding Policy in the first year of implementation. Information was gathered from the experience of the Space and Missile Test Center and selected users of T/E facilities. Two major recommendations are: (1) Perform an in-depth, objective cost/benefit analysis of the Uniform Funding Policy at a representative group of T/E facilities and user organizations; and (2) Apply the costing disciplines of C/SCSC to the T/E facilities.
