Director, Operational Test and Evaluation FY 2014 Annual Report

Abstract

The purpose of operational testing is to assure the Military Services field weapons that work in combat. This purpose has been codified in both USC Title 10 and in the Department of Defense's (DoD) 5000-series regulations for many years without substantive alteration. Operational testing is intended to concur under "realistic combat conditions" that include operational scenarios typical of a system's employment in combat, realistic threat forces, and employment of the systems under tst by typical users (Soldiers) rather than by hand-picked or contractor crews.
