Developmental Evaluation Division (DED) Evaluation Branch Developmental Evaluation and Test Operations Contractor

Support Services 22 October 2013

1.0 Background

The mission of the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) is to lead DoD actions to rapidly provide counter-Improvised Explosive Device capabilities in support of the Combatant Commanders and to enable the defeat of the IED as a weapon of strategic influence. JIEDDO approaches this message via three lines of operation. Attack the Network line of operation enables offensive operations against complex networks of financiers, IED makers, trainers and their supporting infrastructure by providing intelligence surveillance, reconnaissance, information operations, counter-bomber targeting, biometrics and weapons technical intelligence capabilities. Defeat the Device line of operation enhances freedom of maneuver and safe operations for coalition forces: Detection systems seek to identify IEDs and/or the people operating them before they detonate; Neutralize systems use technological solutions to deny the enemy the ability to trigger IEDs; Mitigate systems seek to minimize effects of IED blasts on people, equipment and facilities by pre-detonation and providing standoff distances. Train the Force line of operation is responsible for development of training capabilities that enable the services' and combatant commanders' mission of preparing U.S.

forces to defeat this threat.

The JIEDDO counters the threat imposed by improvised explosive devices by rapidly acquiring and providing counter-IED equipment, technologies, and systems to the warfighter. JIEDDO develops and delivers counter-IED capabilities within three-to-24 months through the three lines of operation. This results in the need to perform nearly continuous developmental test and evaluation over the life of proposed material solutions. The Developmental Evaluation Division (DED) is responsible for all aspects of the developmental test and evaluation of all JIEDDO material solutions. Evaluation authority was established through 2000.19E to coordinate and synchronize all Joint IED Defeat Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) events within the DoD and assist the Military Departments to maximize utility and decrease redundancy in testing of Joint IED Defeat initiatives. DED owns the DT&E mission for JIEDDO. JIEDDO DED enables the execution of Joint IED Capability Approval and Acquisition Management Process (JCAAMP) so that JIEDDO can rapidly acquire counter-IED capabilities in support of combatant commanders within acceptable parameters of Schedule, Performance, and Cost. JIEDDO DED coordinates and synchronizes all Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E) activities and resources to ensure all Counter-IED (C-IED) equipment and systems are sufficiently tested and evaluated; aiding informed decision-making by the Government in fielding the equipment to the warfighter in Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). JIEDDO DED manages all test support for JIEDDO's counter-IED programs and initiatives.
