The Future of DoD Test and Evaluation Resources

Abstract

This issue, the theme for the ITEA Journal is The Future of Test Facilities. This is certainly a worthwhile topic for consideration and discussion. However, test facilities alone do not fully embrace the full scope of the capabilities and resources needed to meet future demands for weapon system test and evaluation (T&E). This article is intended to provide a broader perspective on T&E resources -- one that encompasses not only the future of T&E facilities, but also addresses the other essential elements of test and evaluation, the T&E workforce, and T&E funding needed for both operations and investment. This article presents the perspective of the Department of Defense (DoD) Test Resource Management Center, the origins, mission, and goals of which are outlined in the article.
