reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA514006 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This issue, the theme for the ITEA Journal is The Future of Test Facilities. This is certainly a worthwhile topic for consideration and discussion. However, test facilities alone do not fully embrace the full scope of the capabilities and resources needed to meet future demands for weapon system test and evaluation TE. This article is intended to provide a broader perspective on TE resources -- one that encompasses not only the future of TE facilities, but also addresses the other essential elements of test and evaluation, the TE workforce, and TE funding needed for both operations and investment. This article presents the perspective of the Department of Defense DoD Test Resource Management Center, the origins, mission, and goals of which are outlined in the article.
