Operational Realism Via Net-Centric Test & Evaluation: From Concept Development to Full-Rate Production and Sustainment

Abstract

As the Defense Information Systems Agency's Operational Test Agency since 1987, the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) has integrated operational realism into major test programs and efforts through a variety of methods and strategies. Developing and using netcentric test approaches is a fundamental concept that JITC uses to enhance the operational testing environments for Information Technology and National Security Systems. Complementing JITC's net-centric testing strategies are three other key mission activities that enable JITC to assess and test Information Technology and National Security Systems in operationally realistic environments: JITC's roles and responsibilities with numerous military exercises around the globe, JITC's core mission of interoperability certification through testing, and expanding and executing the Department of Defense Interoperability Communications Exercise.
