The T&E Executive guides JPEO planning and coordination with the Operational Test Activities to plan a series of methodology, instrumentation, and associated validation efforts that provide test infrastructure and technologies for testing RDA systems needed to support all Services, and to ensure the adequacy of testing for RDA systems in alignment with acquisition schedules and associated decision points. The JTIWG program funds T&E Early Involvement, test threat planning, Fielded Equipment Assessments, T&E studies, and T&E Standards planning and development to support testing the CBD systems for all services to include radiological, nuclear, medical T&E efforts. The CBDP T&E Executive directly supports OSD T&E oversight acquisition programs and provides the mechanism for early T&E involvement in the acquisition process. The CBDP T&E Executive provides the T&E infrastructure investment strategy and coordinates investment planning and T&E capabilities validation among the Joint Service Community to ensure that program needs are met. The CBDP T&E Executive oversees T&E processes to include fielded equipment assessments to ensure end to end support to the war fighter.
