  1. Developmental Test & Evaluation Presented to ITEA Symposium Edward Greer Director, Developmental Test & EvaluationSeptember 14, 2010 www.acq.osd.mil/dte/

  2. Mission of the Director, Developmental Test & Evaluation (DDT&E) DWSS Improve acquisition outcomes by advancing “state of the practice” • DDT&E supports: • Program Offices and DoD T&E community • Test planning and data analysis • Early discovery of deficiencies • Identification and sharing of best practices • Improve DT&E practice thru: • DT Policy & Oversight • Advancing DT&E Capability and Service Competencies MRAP Minimizing Discovery in IOT&E 2

  3. DT&E Organization Director Edward Greer Principal Deputy Chris DiPetto Legend: Appointee SES DD, Capability Development Darlene Mosser-Kerner DD, Net Centric & Space Ray Shanahan DD, Naval Warfare Patrick Clancy DD, Air Warfare George Axiotis DD, Land and Expeditionary Warfare Steven Lopes • Policy / Guidance • Acquisition DT&E • Workforce • DAU Content • TEMP DT&E • Concept Briefs • Measures and • Metrics • Joint T&E • Integrated T&E • DT&E in SEP • Annual Report • Oversight of MDAP performance • TES/TEMP approval • MDAP performance - inputs to Congressional report • T&E best practices • Tech Maturity with RD & SE • Assessment of Operational Test Readiness • Reliability Growth Testing • DT&E inputs to Program Support Reviews • High priority test event observation • OIPT/DAES support 3

  4. Studies on T&E and Acquisition “Approximately 50% of programs completing IOT&E since 2000 have been assessed as not operationally effective and/or suitable.” 2008 DSB Report on Developmental Test and Evaluation “. . .beginning production before successfully demonstrating that the weapon system will work as intended increases the potential for discovering costly design changes…and usually requires substantial modification costs at a later time.” 2008 GAO Assessments of Selected Weapon Programs 4

  5. DT&E Influences Acquisition LPD-17 • Pre-IOT&E: • AOTR showed high risk to IOT&E • Accurately predicted unfavorable results • Added time/expense to retest failures C-5 RERP • Milestone B: • Adequacy / affordability of the plan • Design of Experiments analysis • Risk at MS C (Knowledge points) drove • agreement with PEO SDB II Level of DT&E Engagement P-8A • Milestone C: • ITT engaged early and continuously • Risk of redesign carefully considered • Stable design and predictable performance • Low risk – Program entered LRIP on time 5

  7. DDT&E in DoD: What and When Saves $100 here $1 invested here TEMP TEMP TES TEMP CCD CPD ICD IOT&E • A few DDT&E observations: • Lack of DT&E expertise during program formulation • DT&E program planning and resourcing not adequate • System immaturity at MS C or at OTRR • Inadequate reliability growth programs 7

  9. T&E Associations across the Enterprise Test Infrastructure Developmental Testing Operational Testing A B C Warfighter Engineering and Manufacturing Development Materiel Solution Analysis Technology Development Production & Deployment Operations & Support Need to Maximize Synergies Across Associations 9

  10. DT&E Challenges/Initiatives • Efficient, effective and fully Integrated T&E (CODB) • Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability • Information Assurance • Early and continuous engagement with PMs • Workforce skill mix • Increased use of M&S • Emerging technologies • Distributed testing 1943 SNJ-5 “Texan” Trainer 10
