ADS Testing of C4ISR Systems

Abstract

The End-To-End (ETE) Test conducted under the auspices of the Department of Defense Joint Advanced Distributed Simulation (JADS) Joint Test and Evaluation (JT&E), developed a synthetic test environment that can be used for future operational testing and doctrinal development. This synthetic test environment was used initially to conduct developmental and operational testing of the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS). As designed and built, it may be used to conduct future testing of systems such as the common ground station (CGS), the All Source Analysis System (ASAS), and the Block II Army Tactical Missile System. This paper will describe the results of our live flight operational test utilizing satellite communications to distribute the synthetic environment and lessons learned to date. Additionally, the experience gained in verifying and validating a distributed synthetic test environment using the Department of Defense Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A) Recommended Practices Guide will be discussed.
