Engineering and Analysis
Abstract
The Engineering and Analysis effort provides essential System ground and flight test event planning, threat development, test case development, execution, and analysis activities: - 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 models and simulations - Coordinate with Missile Defense System OTA to address test issues and recommend action plans to achieve closure - Integrate the Missile Defense M&S framework with Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and non-MDA Elements into event architectures supporting assessment activities - Integrate, test, and deliver end-to-end System-level simulations supporting ground test missions - Deploy, maintain, and sustain M&S Simulation Interface Units for testing, to include cybersecurity compliance - 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 - Conduct early integration activities such as scenario refinement and early checkout of Element software for ground test (GT) sprints - Conduct continuous test requirements management for the IMTP at the test campaign and test event levels - 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 flight tests (FTs) that provides risk reduction and likelihood of mission success - Conduct test data reduction and processing and archive analysis products - Perform quick-look and detailed post-test analysis and reporting for IMTP FTs - Plan, conduct, and report system level performance analysis for IMTP GTs 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 - Conduct M&S Continuous Developmental Integration (CDI) - Design complex and diverse System-level GT scenarios to provide data collection necessary for requirements verification and performance assessment of new Missile Defense System capabilities during a GT campaign - Develop and implement software tools for the development of test cases in support of System-level CDIs, Ground Test events, System Pre-Mission Tests and System Federation Validation Events; and define and develop test case characteristics Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
