Publisher's Synopsis
The Department of Defense's Office of Testing and Evaluation (DOT&E) is one of the few things (other than hypersonics and nuclear-powered satellites) that can kill big weapons programs! Careful study of this document will be well worthwhile for students of US defense policy.
This document is the DOT&E Strategy Implementation Plan, which outlines the strategic intent and key actions for implementing the DOT&E Strategy Update. The plan focuses on five strategic pillars: test the way we fight, accelerate the delivery of weapons that work, foster an agile and enduring T&E workforce, improve the survivability of DOD in a contested environment, and pioneer T&E of weapon systems built to change over time. The plan emphasizes the need for accurate evaluation of warfighting capabilities, the implementation of digital technologies and data management solutions, and the evaluation of cyber and electromagnetic spectrum survivability. It also highlights the importance of integrating T&E in model-based engineering and conducting mission-based risk assessments. The document provides specific actions and deliverables for each pillar and outlines a phased approach for implementation. Overall, the plan aims to leverage digital technologies, AI/machine learning, and data/knowledge management solutions to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of T&E processes.
