Management of Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) in Strategic Air Command.

Abstract

This paper provides an historical summary and analysis of the Operational Test And Evaluation (OT&E) organization in Strategic Air Command (SAC). The OT&E structure in SAC remains the fragmented organization first identified in 1970. The numerous organizations participating in OT&E and the lack of a decision-making agency to oversee the entire program makes the OT&E process inefficient. The existing system is uncoordinated in objective, responsibility, planning, testing, and reporting. Efficiency and effectiveness were sacrificed at the expense of retaining power, control, and organizational integrity.
