Director, Operational Test and Evaluation
Abstract
During this year, my office was privileged to monitor 288 Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs) and special interest programs. I approved 61 Test and Evaluation Master Plans and Test and Evaluation Strategies, one LFT&E Strategy, and 66 Operational Test and Evaluation Plans for specific test events. To the Secretary of Defense and the Congress, DOT&E delivered eight Beyond Low-Rate Initial Production / Live Fire Reports and three Early Fielding Reports, provided a separate report on Missile Defense, and testified at two sessions of congressional meetings. Since my first report to you last year, I have continued to evolve and strengthen the goals and priorities I wrote about including the internal manpower study. In addition, I addressed emerging test requirements in force protection and net-centric warfare, and the report on policies and practices of test and evaluation directed in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2007, Section 231. The Conference Report to Accompany H.R. 1585 NDAA for Fiscal Year 2008 directs that the results of the manpower assessment be included in this Annual Report. It is included here and in Annex A. I view these endeavors as key strategic activities and the following discussion of each of them will provide insight into the direction I have set for this organization.
