Design of Preliminary Field Tests for the Logistics-over-the-Shore (LOTS) Test and Evaluation Program.

Abstract

During FY 1975 a Test Definition and Feasibility Study for a joint Logistics-Over-The-Shore (LOTS) operational test was accomplished. The study defined a joint test program to evaluate the ability of the Services to conduct LOTS operations and identified a need for essential equipment and procedural preliminary tests to be carried out before the main test could begin. This report primarily addresses pretests and objectives for the deployment and establishment of LOTS systems elements in the operating area, and interface with the distribution system. The objectives are intended to verify by physical demonstration the capability to load and off-load (inport and off-shore) ships representative of the basic type specified in the test definition and to assist in the refinement of LOTS main test design. Test lifts selected for demonstration included heavy, outsized, mission-essential LOTS system equipment. The report also addresses measures of effectiveness, measures to be tested, data collection, and pretest scheduling.
