Army Regulation AR 73-1 Test and Evaluation Policy June 2018


Book Description

This publication, Army Regulation AR 73-1 Test and Evaluation Policy June 2018, implements the test and evaluation policies and procedures contained within DODD 3200.11, DODD 5000.01, DODI 5000.02, DODI 5134.17, and AR 70-1, and specifically prescribes implementing policies for the Army's testing and evaluation program. It applies to all systems acquired under the auspices of the AR 70-series. This regulation implements test and evaluation policy in support of accelerated/rapid acquisition initiatives, capabilities development for rapid transition, and cyber electromagnetic activities. This regulation states implementing polices and responsibilities for conducting test and evaluation and authorizes the procedures in DA Pam 73-1. This regulation applies to the Regular Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve, unless otherwise stated. It also applies to personnel involved in all phases of test and evaluation in research, development, acquisition, and support of materiel items and systems. It applies to the test and evaluation of all Department of the Army acquisition programs, including information technology systems (also designated as national security systems or defense business systems); special access programs (unless specifically excepted per program charter); medical systems; computer resources integral to those items or systems; system and non-system training aids, devices, simulations, and simulators; embedded training; embedded testing; and instrumentation, targets, and threat simulators. It applies to command, control, communications, and computers/information technology systems where the Army is the executive agent for another organization or Service or where a command, control, communications, and computers/information technology system is developed co-operatively with other governments unless such organizations can assure their compliance.

Test and Evaluation: Test and Evaluation Policy


Book Description

This regulation implements the policies and specifically prescribes implementing policies for the Army's testing and evaluation program. It applies to all systems acquired under the auspices of the Army regulation 70-series, including command, control, communications, computers and intelligence/information technology. This regulation applied to Army participation in joint test and evaluation (JT & E) and multi Service operational test and evaluation (MOT & E). It also provides guidance and establishes procedures governing the Test Schedule and Review Committee (TSARC), a continuing intradepartmental Army committee.




Army Regulation AR 70-38 Research, Development, Test and Evaluation of Materiel for Worldwide Use June 2020


Book Description

This United States Army policy, Army Regulation AR 70-38 Research, Development, Test and Evaluation of Materiel for Worldwide Use June 2020, prescribes policies, responsibilities, and planning guidance for inclusion of the global operational environment climatic and natural environment factors in the research, development, test and evaluation of materiel used in combat by the Army. This regulation applies to the Regular Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve, unless otherwise stated. It also applies to items of materiel developed for use by the Army unless otherwise stated. It applies to items of materiel developed by another Service to meet Army requirements and where the Army approves the capability requirements documents; has budget responsibility; and is the user.This regulation establishes policy, identifies responsibilities, and provides climate and terrain factors to ensure mission capable and reliable Army materiel for worldwide operation. In addition to design guidance, this regulation describes a global operational environment (GOE) framework and operational environment (OE) analogs defined by climate and terrain factors to provide direct comparisons of areas of the world from the aspect of performance of Army materiel wherever based or potentially deployed. Application of this regulation ensures that the research, development, test and evaluation (RDTE) decision-making process considers the natural environmental factors that affect equipment performance when preparing capability requirements documents, operation mode summary/mission profile (OMS/MP), and design criteria for acquisition specifications. Early consideration of design criteria and the OE reduces program risk and lowers life-cycle costs by addressing environmental challenges and potential reliability shortfalls early in the RDTE process when corrective actions have minimum overall impact. Army equipment tends to remain in the active inventory for extended periods and is likely to be exposed to severe environmental conditions during its lifetime. Consequently, durability, operational costs, and performance over a full range of environmental factors must be considered during RDTE process.




Test & Evaluation Management Guide: August 2016


Book Description

This PRINT REPLICA contains the 6th edition of the Test & Evaluation Management Guide (TEMG). The Test & Evaluation Management Guide is intended primarily for use in courses at DAU and secondarily as a generic desk reference for program and project management, and Test & Evaluation (T&E) personnel. It is written for current and potential acquisition management personnel and assumes some familiarity with basic terms, definitions, and processes as employed by the DoD acquisition process. The Test & Evaluation Management Guide is designed to assist Government and industry personnel in executing their management responsibilities relative to the T&E support of defense systems and facilitate learning during Defense Acquisition University coursework. The objective of a well-managed T&E program is to provide timely and accurate information to decision makers and program managers (PMs). The Test & Evaluation Management Guide was developed to assist the acquisition community in obtaining a better understanding of who the decision makers are and determining how and when to plan T&E events so that they are efficient and effective. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. We look over each document carefully and replace poor quality images by going back to the original source document. We proof each document to make sure it's all there - including all changes. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It's much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com This book includes original commentary which is copyright material. Note that government documents are in the public domain. We print these large documents as a service so you don't have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound, full-size (8 1/2 by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. 4th Watch Publishing Co. is a HUBZONE SDVOSB. https: //usgovpub.com
