Concurrent, Test, Training & Ops (CTTO)
Abstract
The purpose of the BMDS Concurrent Test, Training, and Operations (CTTO) effort is to address the Unified Combatant Commanders high priority requirement for a capability to sustain BMDS operations while simultaneously supporting concurrent research, development, test, and evaluation; maintenance; training; and system upgrade activities without degrading the ability to defend the United States, its deployed forces, friends, and allies. CTTO will enable continued BMDS incremental and spiral development and testing while providing the Unified Combatant Commanders the ability to maintain their operational capability, participate in exercises, train, and rehearse mission scenarios while the system is in an operational state or ``on alert.`` The functions of the CTTO are to: Increase confidence in the BMDS through rigorous concurrent test, training, and operations. Enable BMDS testing and training in the field without degrading protection capability. Sustain Unified Combatant Commanders BMDS operations while simultaneously supporting concurrent BMDS systems development and acquisition to defend the United States, its deployed forces, friends, and allies. Safely inject consistent high fidelity test and evaluation threat data on operational equipment to exercise all phases of the kill chain using all sensor/shooter combinations. Aid in Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense, Terminal High Altitude Air Defense, Ground-based Midcourse Defense, Sensors, and Fire Control standardization evaluation and certification for all BMDS personnel and ensures all crews are highly qualified to perform their mission-specific tasks by conducting exercises and wargames executed from actual equipment and networked configurations. The Distributed Multi-Echelon Training System (DMETS) will specifically addresses the high priority Unified Combatant Commanders requirement to conduct distributed, high fidelity, and end-to-end strategic and operational training for missile defense operations that incorporates missile warning activity in any or all of the BMDS Elements. The system will allow for scalable testing of the BMDS over the operational architecture as well as allow operators to train where they fight using a parallel architecture either physically separated or logically separated from the operational one; training will be scalable as well; from individual BMD assets to regional BMDS capabilities to the full BMDS global community.
