Test and Evaluation
Abstract
Handheld's Test and Evaluation focuses on the evaluation of key technical and operational characteristics of the system: Radio Frequency performance, security, Reliability, Availability & Maintainability, and survivability requirements, in addition to operational environmental performance requirements as per the Capability Production Document. All radios awarded a contract will be required to go through the Qualification Test (QT) to qualify for Field / Lab Based Risk Reduction (FBRR/LBRR) that will serve as risk reduction events prior to Operational Test (OT) to ensure the radio is operational at full capability and ready to be used by soldiers. The QT will validate the manufacturers' ability to meet the minimum functional requirements identified in the Performance Requirements Document. Radios that successfully demonstrate key capabilities during QT will proceed to FBRR/LBRR. The OT will include support from Army and DoD operational testers and will use communication scenarios based on the Operational Mode Summary / Mission Profile of the system(s) under test. The OT will be designed to validate that the HMS products meet warfighter needs in terms of effectiveness, suitability and survivability in an operationally realistic environment. Results from the OT will facilitate the delivery orders for Full Rate Production.
