Net-Centric Test & Evaluation

Abstract:

This paper and associated presentation describes an approach for test and evaluation in a net-centric environment. A short term effort is planned in February to September 2004 to develop and apply appropriate measures of effectiveness MOEs, metrics, and methods of data collection, analysis and evaluation for a representative test items performance within a networked system of systems environment. A net-centric TE approach is prepared for the Rosetta STONE Single Integrated Picture Enabling Technology Demonstration ETD. The Department of Defense has issued guidance and criteria in the form of joint concepts, net-centric checklists, and interoperability and supportability instructions for use in program assessments, capability analyses, and experimentation. The finding of this research so far are that these criteria, comprised of attributes derived largely from network-centric warfare concepts and commercial standards, are not yet in a form suitable for immediate and widespread use for test and evaluation TE. However, progress is being made. Status of the effort will be reported at the Symposium to include lessons learned for planning future net-centric TE.
