Test and Evaluation
Abstract
The Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) provides direct interoperability support to Combatant Commanders (COCOMs) during exercises and contingency operations to ensure joint interoperability of the Department of Defense (DoD) National Security Systems/Information Technology (NSS/IT), and ensures successful combined operations with Allies and Coalition partners. JITC, as the only DoD Joint Operational Test Agency, conducts Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) to determine the operational effectiveness and suitability of the systems acquired, assigned, or managed by DISA, military Services, and other Agencies. JITC provides direct test support to COCOM operations in theater; as well as technical 24x7x365 Warfighter Command, Control, Communications, Computing and Intelligence (C4I) Hotline support. In support of this mission, JITC: • Conducts annual distributed Joint Tactical Data Link (JTDL) hardware-in-the-loop (HWITL) interoperability test events to evaluate COCOM/Service/Agency warfighting capabilities and participating systems. • Provides for planning, conducting, analyzing, and reporting of tri-annual DoD Interoperability Communications Exercises (DICE). This distributed Joint Task Force (JTF) network supports agile, responsive, and efficient testing and rapid deployment of Joint Warfighting communications capabilities. • Provides a sustaining capability to support engineering, development, and operational evaluation of existing and legacy IT and NSS for DISA, Service Components, COCOMS, and DoD Agencies. • Supports testing of the DoD Global Information Grid (GIG)-enabling programs and ensures that these capabilities are available to the DoD community to verify their own net-centric C4I warfighting capabilities. • Provides enterprise messaging test and evaluation of Navy strategic systems by verifying the ability of systems to interoperate in a joint environment.
