Director, Operational Test and Evaluation FY 2006 Annual Report

Abstract

Since July 27th, when I was sworn in as the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation, I have reviewed the state of Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) and Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E) with in the Department of Defense. I have met with Service Operational Test Agency (OTA) Commanders; participated in programmatic reviews; approved test plans; witnessed tests; and provided my evaluation of programs test adequacy, operational effectiveness, operational suitability, survivability, and lethality. This introduction provides my initial thoughts on the state of OT&E and LFT&E. It also provides my thoughts on recent legislative language that gives DOT&E additional responsibilities in a changing strategic environment. Finally, I will discuss my goals and priorities to address both the issues I have observed and the recent congressional mandates.
