NIE Test & Evaluation
Abstract
Project DY3: Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) Test & Evaluation, synchronizes, integrates, and manages system and System of Systems (SoS) capability assessments in laboratory and operational environments in order to inform Army force modernization decisions that impact system improvements, interoperability compliance, operational readiness, and exploitable technology opportunities. In FY2018 there are two planned events: a NIE and a Joint Warfighting Assessment (JWA) [formerly known as an Army Warfighting Assessment (AWA)]. The NIE will focus on testing of Programs of Record (PoR) in support of synchronized Capability Set (CS) fielding of network and mission command systems. The JWA will focus on Force 2025 concepts; interoperability & Army Warfighting Challenges (AWFCs); and emerging capabilities. Beginning in FY2019, in accordance with readiness demands and the Army's new modernization approach, the mission will shift to only support Warfighter Assessment events with focus on Joint Multination Interoperability and concept development. This change will affect associated integration and management processes by reducing the formal rigor associated with PoR testing and shifting to an experimentation model, with prototype-level designs and increased unit ownership of preparation tasks. These funds support the following major efforts associated with an assessment: - Planning: coordination with multiple stakeholders on the participation and resourcing of personnel, services, equipment and prototypes, and other deliverables needed for lab based risk reduction (LBRR), capability and platform integration, training, field support and logistics, event battle rhythm/schedule, and developing network data products. - Preparation: Conduct LBRR, complete integrated vehicle designs, build prototype vehicles for safety release, conduct platform installation and checkout, validate the network, and obtain Information Assurance certifications. - Execution: technical and logistics support during soldier-led assessments, trouble ticket management and closeout, and field support management. - Close-out: inventorying platforms, de-installing equipment, returning platforms to their original configurations. These funds may also be used for procuring equipment and materials (to include prototypes, when required), event infrastructure, field services, personnel (government and contractor), and travel.
