Army Test Ranges & Facilities
Abstract
This Project provides the institutional funding required to operate developmental test activities IAW Public Law 107-314 (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003) Section 232 ("Objective for institutional funding of test and evaluation facilities") in support of DoD Program Executive Officers, Program and Product Managers, Research, Development, and Engineering Centers and to the AFC. Resources provided by this Project operate six elements of the DoD MRTFB: WSTC - WSMR, New Mexico; ATC - APG, Maryland; EPG - Fort Huachuca, Arizona; YTC - YPG, Arizona; CRTC - Fort Greely, Alaska; and TRTC at various locations. This Project also funds the Army's test capability at RTC - Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. This Project finances the overhead (institutional) test operating costs not billable to DoD test customers per DoDI 3200.18 and DoDFMR 7000.14-R, which include: recurring test infrastructure/capability sustainment requirements; replacement of test equipment; test operating procedures; test revitalization/upgrade projects to maintain $8.6 billion of testing capabilities; and improvements to the safety, environmental protection, and efficiency of test operations. The test capabilities at these ranges have been uniquely established, are considered national assets, and are in place to support T&E requirements of funded acquisition programs, and are required to assure technical performance, adherence to safety requirements, reliability, logistics supportability, Title 10 Live Fire Test and Evaluation, transportability, environmental effects, cyber, electromagnetic effects, and quality of materiel in development and in production. This Project sustains the T&E capability required to support Army Modernization as well as other Army, Joint, or Other Service systems, materiel, and technologies. Types of systems scheduled for testing include, but are not limited to: Aircraft, Air Delivery, Unmanned Aerial Systems, Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems, Air and Missile Defense Systems, Engineering Equipment, Direct fire, Indirect fire, Ammunition, Automotive Systems both manned and unmanned, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Ground Soldier Systems, Missiles, Rockets, Mission Command Network, Tactical Command, Control, and Communications, Robotics/Unmanned Autonomous Systems, Soldier Lethality, Assured Position, Navigation and Timing, Title 10 Live-Fire Survivability, Nuclear survivability, directed energy, and extreme natural environments. These T&E capabilities enable Army Futures Command modernization efforts and readiness.
