Implementing the Joint Synthetic Test and Evaluation Battlespace
Abstract
The Joint Synthetic Test and Evaluation Battlespace (JSTEB) is the permanent infrastructure needed to support routine distributed test and evaluation. The JSTEB is comprised of networks, common data standards and protocols, integrated scheduling, configuration and mission control. It facilitates the accessibility of live, virtual, and constructive models and simulations from widely dispersed locations. JSTEB is usable by the Acquisition, Test and Evaluation, Training, and Operations communities. Most importantly, it enables the early and continuous involvement of the warfighter, user, developer, and tester in the acquisition process. A synthetic battlespace is needed to facilitate Simulation Based Acquisition, implement the Simulation, Test, and Evaluation Process, perform comprehensive test and evaluation, and assess joint warfighting capabilities. The understanding of weapon systems and their capabilities gained as a result of using a synthetic battlespace for test and evaluation will enhance the fundamental understanding of warfighting systems and make it easier to optimize designs for performance, producibility, and affordability.
