Vision 21. The Plan for 21st Century Laboratories and Test and Evaluation Centers of the Department of Defense. Requirements Report to the President and Congress.

Abstract

Based on direction from the Office of the President and provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996, the DoD is preparing a plan for its laboratories and test and evaluation (T&E) centers for the 21st century. This plan, called Vision 21, will be based upon the requirements to support the development and test and evaluation (T&E) of current and future weapon systems and will identify the critical laboratories and T&E centers needed to achieve them. The plan will rest on three implementing and integrating pillars: Reduction, Restructuring (Intra-Service and Cross-Service), and Revitalization to attain a modern, efficient, and effective laboratory and T&E center environment with focus on the costs of facilities and infrastructure. Vision 2 will include options to achieve a goal of reducing the cost of the DoD laboratory and T&E infrastructure. One option will reflect reductions in the laboratory and T&E infrastructure each by at least 20% beyond Base Realignment and Closure 1995 (BRAC). The adopted plan will be implemented over a five year period (FY 2001-2005).
