A Plan to Streamline DoD's Science and Technology, Engineering, and Test and Evaluation Infrastructure

Abstract

This plan outlines initiatives to streamline the Department of Defense (DoD) Science and Technology (S&T), Engineering, and Test and Evaluation (T&E) infrastructure, commonly referred to as the Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) infrastructure. In April of 1998, the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) reported to Congress pursuant to section 912(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 1998 (Appendix A, page A-2), which required a review of the DoD's acquisition workforce. That report highlighted a number of areas requiring further study, including initiatives to streamline the RDT&E infrastructure, the subject of this follow-on report. Subsequent to the April 1998 report, section 907 of the Strom Thurmond NDAA for Fiscal Year 1999 (Appendix A, page A-5) required a similar study of the RDT&E infrastructure. Consequently, the section 907 initiatives have been incorporated into this report.
