Live-Fire Test and Evaluation of Major Defense Systems

Abstract

The DoD defines live-fire test and evaluation (LFT&E) as full-up (fully loaded or equipped), system-level survivability or lethality testing of a covered system, major munitions program, or missile program before the program can proceed beyond low-rate initial production. Section 2366 of title 10, United States Code, defines a covered system as any vehicle, weapon platform, or conventional weapon system that includes features designed to provide some degree of protection to users in combat and that is a major system.
