The Test and Evaluation Evolution (Relative to the U. S. Air Force).

Abstract

The Blue Ribbon Defense Panel Report of July, 1970 provided the impetus for major changes in the structure and conduct of test and evaluation (T and E) in the Department of Defense. This report traces the actions taken by OSD, Air Force and Systems Command over the last four years up to the formation and implementation of the Air Force Test and Evaluation Center (AFTEC) in January of 1974. To ascertain the probable direction of T and E, several members of the T and E community were interviewed. The results of these interviews are presented and discussed. They indicate a uniform and stable policy throughout the Air Force and an increasing role of AFTEC in the T and E business as they become active and involved in the emerging programs. No major changes are anticipated in the current T+E policies and directives. (Author)
