Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. / Modern Test and Evaluation has long supported acquisition of warfighting systems in the United
States Navy. As the complexity and long-term supportability of these systems has dramatically
increased, the need to successfully, and incrementally test and evaluate families of systems,
including their interfaces, has become even more critical. Long established techniques and
methodologies for T&E may still apply, but new factors must be addressed. As the Navy continues
to grapple with acquisition reform, and also looks to transform itself in the future, the
Warfighters’ needs have essentially remained the same – delivery of the best, most effective
weapons, delivered as soon as possible, and made easy to operate and maintain. Without an
equally effective developmental and operational test and evaluation process, the United States
Navy cannot satisfy this need.
This thesis examines T&E today and where it must go in the future. It provides recommendations
for T&E enhancements, and explores several areas where the Navy, and in many cases, Joint
Services, are already looking towards future, integrated and collaborative test and evaluation. / Civilian, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona Division, United States Navy
