Engineering and Analysis
Abstract
The Engineering and Analysis effort provides essential System ground and flight test event planning, execution, and analysis activities for each test event: - Design test architecture, define test objectives and evaluation criteria, define target requirements, and generate test scenarios appropriate to the data collection requirements to assess System performance and anchor M&S - Coordinate with Missile Defense System Operational Test Agency (OTA) to address test issues, disposition them, coordinate them, and recommend action plans to achieve closure - Deliver M&S integration test cases - Conduct M&S Integration Benchmarking and integrate the Missile Defense System M&S framework with MDA and non-MDA Elements into the event architectures that support assessment activities - Integrate, test, and deliver end-to-end System-level simulations supporting ground test missions - Deploy and maintain M&S Simulation Interface Units (SIUs) for testing, including cybersecurity compliance, configuration management authority, and sustainment of the SIU fleet - Analyze System-level interoperability - Conduct modeling and technical analysis for Combatant Command Wargames and Exercises - Utilize M&S for pre-test assessment, post-test review, and M&S updates - Provide test configuration management; risk assessments; and anomaly/deficiency review, assessment and closure - Analyze test results to identify verification and validation data collection shortfalls and reassign objectives to future test events as required - Perform event architecture certification - Provide Federation reporting for Verification, Validation, and Accreditation of M&S architectures - - Plan, conduct, and report system-level pre-mission predictive analysis for IMTP FTs that provides risk reduction and likelihood of mission success - Conduct test data reduction and processing of test event data; archive analysis products for reference by assessment community, warfighters, the Government Accountability Office, and Congressional staffers - Perform quick-look and detailed post-test analysis and reporting for IMTP flight tests that shows if test objectives were achieved and reveals potential issues that can only be discovered in live flight tests - Plan, conduct, and report system level performance analysis for IMTP ground tests that provides assessment of system performance in simple and worst-case real-world scenarios, identifies limitations and issues that need to be corrected prior to fielding - Document test observations for System-level test anomalies and coordinate the resulting Discrepancy Reports within the Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System - Design, develop, deploy, maintain, test, accredit, and modernize test analysis tools (e.g., Modular Analysis and Reporting Suite) to enhance analysis capability and efficiency. Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
