NIE Test & Evaluation

Abstract

This project supports test and evaluation portion of Phase V of the Army's Agile Network Integration process in support of the Army's network Endstate and objectives for Network 2020 and Force 2025 and beyond. The project will conduct the actual Network Integration Evaluation at Fort Bliss, TX and White Sands Missile Range, NM which evaluates the integrated soldier and weapon systems operational impact on the brigade to include Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities (DOTMLPF) and perform Net Warrior integration for NIE/Bold Quest (BQ) Army Warfighter Assessment objectives. The results of Phase V will address and answer senior Army leadership's questions about force makeup and effectiveness and provides Army leadership recommendations for improving operational requirements and enhancing technical specifications to achieve network 2020 Endstates and Force 2025 objectives. The Army leadership will use the data from these events to identify which systems to procure and field in future Capability Sets for improved Network and Brigade Capability. This project includes reimbursable government and contractor efforts to develop detailed test scenarios and evaluation criteria for field based evaluations of the Brigade Combat Team, and then conduct the verifications and validation of the Brigade as part of that NIE. As part of the evaluation process, this project includes the development of the data collection plans, the instrumentation of the systems in the Brigade, and also the data collectors and analysis of the test results. This project also includes the development and distribution of the detailed, technical evaluation reports which provides the ability to identify which equipment needs further development, or is ready for integration into a future Capability Set. Lastly, this project includes all the costs for supporting the test, such as, but not limited to; SATCOM satellite time, MEDEVAC support during test, helicopter blade time, petroleum, oil and lubricants (POL) and other test support materials, equipment, personnel and facilities.
