Joint Test and Evaluation (JT&E) Program Overview

Presented by:

Jim Thompson JT&E Program Manager

UNCLASSIFIED

JT&E Program Overview Objective: Assists the warfighter in solving joint operational problems and issues through the development of non-materiel solutions.

Products are usually Enhanced tactics, techniques, and procedures Changes to operational processes (Concept of Operations - CONOPS) Improved command and control methodologies and architectures

Products are Joint and/or multi-Service non-materiel solutions - not hardware acquisition products

JT&E projects use operational test and evaluation techniques and test rigor - not experiments or demonstrations

JT&E Program Overview JT&E is an Office of the Secretary of Defense (ODSD) Program under the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) Test teams are formed to solve an operational problem Test teams are led by the sponsor of the problem and staffed with military/government subject matter experts (SMEs) and contractors proficient in test and evaluation Operational issues are approved by an independent senior leadership boards Testing is accomplished through collaborative partnerships Combatant Commands (CCMD) / Services nominate issues and provide leadership, SMEs, and access to joint exercises as testing venues Services provide military expertise, infrastructure, and test assets OSD/JT&E funds contractor support, travel, and unique testing requirements

Nominator Any CCMD, Service, Joint Staff, or other DOD Agency Relevant Joint Issue Needing a Solution Warfighter Solutions TTP, Doctrine, Architectures, and Methodologies Joint Test (JT) Up to a 2-year effort lead by the nominating agency. Supported by Services and CCMDs as needed to solve the issue.

Quick Reaction Test (QRT) Up to a 1-year effort led by Service OTAs to quickly solve an urgent operational requirement.

DOT&E/JT&E Support Contractor Support, Unique Test Funding, Logistics, Security, and Program Oversight and Structure Sponsor Support (CCMD, Service, or OSD Agency) JTU Facilities, Test Assets, Military/Gov’t Personnel, Admin Support The JT&E Program’s Two Core Processes

Results Interim Products The lead sponsor provides the Director, SME support, and facilities for personnel not located at the JTU.

The JTU provides government personnel, facilities, and O&M support .

DOT&E provides dollars for test-specific support, including contractor support.

Key Programmatic Factors Joint Test (JT) projects are two years in duration JTs are preceded by a six-month Joint Feasibility Study (JFS) JT and JFS teams are located at a designated Joint Test Unit JT&E Program Office manages JTs and JFS throughout a projects life cycle Quick Reaction Test projects have a one-year contract duration

Test team locations are determined by the sponsor Operational Test Agencies manage assigned QRT projects JT&E Program Office manages the process:

Review and approval of test plans Contract task management and financial accountability Training and operational support to JFS and JT JT&E budget supports the starting of 12 new projects annually: 6 QRTs, 4 JFS, and 2 Joint Tests
