System Integration Test Linked Simulations Phase
Abstract
This summary is designed to serve as a stand-alone document as well as part of this report. For that reason, the reader will find some duplication of verbiage and figures between the summary and the fill report. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWPNS) was a committed and effective partner for the Joint Advanced Distributed Simulation Joint Test and Evaluation (JADS JT&E) Joint Test Force (JTF) in the planning, preparation, and execution of the Linked Simulators Phase (LSP) of the System Integration Test (SIT). The JADS JT&E was chartered by the Deputy Director, Test, Systems Engineering and Evaluation (Test and Evaluation), Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology) in October 1994 to investigate the utility of Advanced Distributed Simulation (ADS) technologies for support of Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) and Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E). The program is Air Force led, with Army and Navy participation. The JTF manning includes 23 Air Force, 13 Army, and 2 Navy. Science Applications International Corporation and Georgia Tech Research Institute provide contracted technical support. The program is nominally scheduled for five years. The JADS JT&E is directly investigating ADS applications in three slices of the T&E spectrum: a System Integration Test (SIT) which explores ADS support of air-to-air missile testing, an End-To-End (ETE) test which explores ADS support for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) testing, and an Electronic Warfare (EW) test which explores ADS support for EW testing. The JTF is also chartered to observe, or participate at a modest level, in ADS activities sponsored and conducted by other agencies in an effort to broaden conclusions developed in the three dedicated test areas.
