United States Army Operational Test Command (USAOTC) Integrated Technologies Evolving to Meet New Challenges - A Study in Cross Command Collaboration

Abstract

The United States Army Operational Test Command (USAOTC) conducts, under US Title 10, the operational testing of equipment, systems and system of systems destined for the troops in the field. Operational testing is accomplished by creating a relevant and operational realistic environment in which soldiers and leaders employ systems under test. Increasingly, this environment can only be created by employing the entire span of test support technologies -- modeling, simulation, instrumentation, networks, test control methodologies, and data collection, reduction and analysis devices - in a fully integrated test support enterprise. More simply, the complex systems of systems being fielded require an equally complex system of systems to test them in live, virtual and constructive (LVC) test environments.
