Acquisition: The Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program
Abstract
Test and evaluation officials who are responsible for test investment of DoD test facilities should read this report to better understand the criteria and award process for the Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program. This report is in response to a request by the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation, who is responsible for the oversight of test and evaluation facilities. The objectives were to determine the degree to which Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program funds were used to meet the needs of multi-Service test capabilities and whether the funded projects were subsequently procured by the Services. We reviewed 59 projects that had received funding of approximately $856 million from FY 1990 through FY 2003. Projects selected for the Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program must be development and coordination projects geared toward multi-Service application. The Services are expected to budget for the procurement of any system or test capabilities developed in this program. Other program objectives are to increase interoperability and interconnectivity among test centers and ranges and avoid unnecessary duplication. Projects are selected from candidates submitted by the Services or developed from initiatives proposed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
