A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification


The Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) was created by Congress in 1983. The Director is responsible under title 10 for policy and procedures for all
aspects of Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) within the Department of Defense (DoD). Particular focus is given to OT&E that supports major weapon system
production decisions for acquisition programs included on the Office of Secretary of Defense Test and Evaluation Oversight List that is prepared and approved annually.
Generally, there are about 235 programs on the oversight list including all Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAP) and Major Automated Information Systems
(MAIS). MDAPs may not proceed beyond low-rate initial production (BLRIP) until OT&E of the program is complete. DOT&E is involved early in the planning phase of
each program to ensure adequate testing is planned and executed. Key elements of DOT&E's oversight authority include:

- The approval of component Test and Evaluation Master Plans (TEMPS).


- The approval of component OT&E Test Plans (TPs).
- Oversight of Military Department preparation and conduct of field operational tests; analysis and evaluation of the resultant test data; the assessment of the
adequacy of the executed test and evaluation programs; and assessment of the operational effectiveness and suitability of the weapon systems.
- Reporting results of OT&E that support BLRIP decisions to the Secretary of Defense and Congress, as well as providing an annual report summarizing all OT&E
activities and the adequacy of test resources within DoD during the previous fiscal year.
- The review and development of recommendations to the Secretary of Defense on all budgetary and financial matters related to OT&E, including operational test
facilities, resources, and ranges.

DOT&E also oversees and resources OT&E community efforts to plan and execute joint operational evaluations of information assurance and interoperability (IA and
IOP) of fielded systems and networks during major Combatant Command (CCMD) and Service exercises, and reports the trends and findings in the annual report.
DOT&E is also involved in increasing the capacity to access realistically advanced cyber warfighting capabilities to keep pace with heightened demand for those
capabilities, advancing technologies and the growing cyber threat.

This Program Element includes funds to obtain Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) support in performing the described tasks, travel funds to
carry out oversight of the OT&E and IA and IOP programs, funds for Service teams performing information assurance and interoperability assessments during exercises,
administrative support services, DFAS support, and engineering and technical support services related to the conduct of OT&E and exercise assessments.

Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) Oversight
This effort is in direct support of the Director’s Title 10 responsibilities and is a continuing effort. Funding for Fiscal Year (FY)
2021 provides OT&E inputs for Test and Evaluation Master Plans, Test Plans, System Acquisition Reports, Defense Acquisition
Executive Summary Reports for those programs designated for oversight by DOT&E and OUSD(A&S). Key elements of DOT&E
oversight authority are identified in Calendar Year 2021 Office of the Secretary of Defense Test and Evaluation Oversight List.

Cyber Evaluations
DOT&E is sponsoring approximately 30 Combatant Command (CCMD) and Service cybersecurity assessments and Cyber
Readiness Campaign (CRC) events in FY 2021, each including “Find-Fix-Verify” efforts to facilitate the remediation of identified
vulnerabilities and verify that solutions and mitigations improve warfighter mission assurance. These numbers are lower due
to coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic challenges that cancelled many events. DOT&E is continuing to work with the CCMDs
and Services to develop multiyear plans for exercise cyber assessments and CRC events. To support threat representative
assessments, and to facilitate improvement of DoD’s cybersecurity posture, DOT&E is continuing efforts with U.S. Cyber
Command to implement the Global Persistent Cyber Opposing Force (PCO) capability with authorities to perform year round and
long-duration assessments of all CCMDs and Services. Primary objectives for DOT&E’s assessments in FY 2021 include the
portrayal of advanced nation-state cyber threats and the assessment of operational missions during realistic cyber attacks, and
any corresponding response actions to adversary attacks. DOT&E is continuing to assess Cyber Protection Teams and Cyber
Mission Teams when they participate during PCO, CRC, or exercise events. DOT&E is continuing to develop techniques to
efficiently and effectively assess offensive cyber capabilities, conduct timely evaluations of these capabilities, and consider the
development of a potential cyber variant of the Joint Munition Effectiveness Manual. DOT&E transmits critical findings to DoD
leadership along with recommended actions to improve DoD’s cybersecurity posture. FY 2021 evaluations include trend analyses
across prior year results, both within and across CCMDs.

In FY 2021, DOT&E is investing $5.0 Million in digital modernization (e.g., automated software and cybersecurity testing, digital
engineering, etc.) to engineer and drive pilots designed to move the operational test community into next generation digital
technologies and analytic methods at scale.
FY 2022 Plans:
Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) Oversight
This effort is in direct support of the Director’s title 10 responsibilities and is a continuing effort. Funding for FY 2022 provides
OT&E inputs for Test and Evaluation Master Plans, Test Plans, System Acquisition Reports, Defense Acquisition Executive
Summary Reports for those programs designated for oversight by DOT&E and OUSD(A&S). Key elements of DOT&E oversight
authority will be identified in Calendar Year 2022 Office of the Secretary of Defense Test and Evaluation Oversight List.

DOT&E plans to sponsor approximately 50 CCMD and Service cybersecurity assessments and CRC events in FY 2022. Each
assessment will continue to include “Find-Fix-Verify” efforts to facilitate the remediation of identified vulnerabilities and verify that
solutions and mitigations improve warfighter mission assurance. DOT&E plans to continue working with the CCMDs and Services
to develop multiyear plans for exercise cyber assessments and CRC events. These plans will focus on assessing the CCMD’s
or Service’s ability to complete missions and be resilient in a contested cyber environment. DOT&E will perform year-round and
long duration assessments of all CCMDs and Services with Global PCO authorities. Objectives for DOT&E assessments in FY
2022 will include the portrayal of advanced nation-state cyber threats and the assessment of operational missions during realistic
cyber attacks, with supporting offensive fires and cyber-range events included in the evaluation. DOT&E will assess Cyber
Protection Teams and Cyber Mission Teams when they participate during PCO, CRC, or exercise events. DOT&E will continue
assessments of offensive cyber capabilities. DOT&E will transmit critical findings to DoD leadership along with recommended
actions to improve DoD’s cybersecurity posture. FY 2022 evaluations will include trend analyses across prior year results, both
within and across CCMDs.
FY 2021 to FY 2022 Increase/Decrease Statement:
The change in funding from FY 21 to FY 22 includes reductions for inflation and travel and the expiration of funding for Cyber
Enhanced Red Teams. The change also includes an increase for mid-tier acquisition to support congressionally mandated
test and evaluation oversight of all middle tier of acquisition and rapid prototyping programs. This includes the development of
independent T&E concepts for such programs, review of programs’ test and evaluation strategies, observation of relevant test
events to ensure compliance with test plans, independent data analysis and development of reports to Secretary of Defense and
Congress on all matters related to test adequacy and demonstrated operational effectiveness, suitability, survivability and lethality.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification


This Program Element consists of three programs: Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E), Joint Aircraft Survivability Program (JASP), and Joint Technical Coordinating
Group for Munitions Effectiveness (JTCG/ME).

This Program Element directly supports the Congressional statutory requirements for oversight of LFT&E. The primary objective of LFT&E is to assure that the
vulnerability and survivability of Department of Defense (DoD) crew-carrying platforms and the lethality of our conventional munitions are known and acceptable before
entering full-rate production. LFT&E encompasses realistic tests involving actual United States (U.S.) and foreign threat hardware or, if not available, acceptable
surrogate threat hardware. The objective is to identify and correct design deficiencies early in the development process. A completed LFT&E program and test report is
required before programs proceed beyond low-rate initial production (BLRIP). LFT&E also includes realistic modeling and simulation (M&S) to examine survivability and
lethality attributes not assessed during testing.

This Program Element also supports DoD’s Joint Live Fire (JLF) Program and other LFT&E related initiatives. JLF was initiated in 1984 under an Office of the Secretary
of Defense charter to test fielded front-line combat aircraft and armor systems for their vulnerabilities as well as fielded weapons, both U.S. and foreign, for their lethality
against their respective targets. Funds are also used to support other initiatives related to quick reaction requests from theater and other areas of personnel survivability.

The Joint Aircraft Survivability Program is the DoD’s focal point for joint service enhancement of military aircraft non-nuclear survivability. The JASP is chartered by
the commanders of the U.S. Navy Naval Air Systems Command, U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, and U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center to
increase the affordability, readiness, and effectiveness of Tri-Service aircraft through joint coordination and development of survivability technologies, design tools and
assessment methodologies. The JASP coordinates and conducts RDT&E to improve military aircraft survivability, develop and standardize aircraft survivability modeling
and simulation (M&S), facilitate information exchange on aircraft survivability, and support aircraft survivability education for the DoD and U.S. aircraft community. Each
chartering command provides a senior aircraft survivability expert for the JASP Principal Members Steering Group (PMSG), which guides the program and approves
projects for funding. The JASP assesses and reports on combat damage incidents through the Joint Combat Assessment Team (JCAT) and is the Executive Agent for
the Joint Live Fire Aircraft Systems Program managed by the Live Fire Test office of DOT&E.

The Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munitions Effectiveness (JTCG/ME) was chartered 50 years ago to serve as Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) focal point for
munitions effectiveness information. The JTCG/ME produces Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manuals (JMEMs) that are the sole source for all Joint Service Authenticated
non-nuclear weapons effectiveness data and methodology for DoD. The JMEMs are the “how to” manuals for putting ordnance on target and as such, directly impacts
combat readiness, effectiveness, and survivability. JMEMs are used by the warfighters in operational weaponeering and collateral damage estimation calls in direct
support of operations, mission planning, and training; by the DoD, Joint, and Service planners in force-on-force modeling, mission area analysis, requirements studies
and weapon procurement planning; and by the service acquisition community in performance assessment, analysis of alternatives and survivability enhancement

studies. The JTCG/ME continually evolves weapons effectiveness and target vulnerability data, standards, methodologies, and processes based on the strategic
environment for better munitions effectiveness evaluation and support to a more lethal force. JTCG/ME also increases efficiency by leveraging ongoing Department
efforts and supporting the Department’s intent to complement U.S. interest and capabilities by providing weaponeering and targeting capability to Coalition partners.
The JMEM requirements and development processes are driven by operational lessons learned (Inherent Resolve, Resolute Support and Freedom Sentinel), Joint

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification


This Program Element consists of three programs: Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E), Joint Aircraft Survivability Program (JASP), and Joint Technical Coordinating
Group for Munitions Effectiveness (JTCG/ME).

This Program Element directly supports the Congressional statutory requirements for oversight of LFT&E. The primary objective of LFT&E is to assure that the
vulnerability and survivability of Department of Defense (DoD) crew-carrying platforms and the lethality of our conventional munitions are known and acceptable before
entering full-rate production. LFT&E encompasses realistic tests involving actual United States (U.S.) and foreign threat hardware or, if not available, acceptable
surrogate threat hardware. The objective is to identify and correct design deficiencies early in the development process. A completed LFT&E program and test report is
required before programs proceed beyond low-rate initial production (BLRIP). LFT&E also includes realistic modeling and simulation (M&S) to examine survivability and
lethality attributes not assessed during testing.

This Program Element also supports DoD’s Joint Live Fire (JLF) Program and other LFT&E related initiatives. JLF was initiated in 1984 under an Office of the Secretary
of Defense charter to test fielded front-line combat aircraft and armor systems for their vulnerabilities as well as fielded weapons, both U.S. and foreign, for their lethality
against their respective targets. Funds are also used to support other initiatives related to quick reaction requests from theater and other areas of personnel survivability.

The Joint Aircraft Survivability Program is the DoD’s focal point for joint service enhancement of military aircraft non-nuclear survivability. The JASP is chartered by
the commanders of the U.S. Navy Naval Air Systems Command, U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, and U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center to
increase the affordability, readiness, and effectiveness of Tri-Service aircraft through joint coordination and development of survivability technologies, design tools and
assessment methodologies. The JASP coordinates and conducts RDT&E to improve military aircraft survivability, develop and standardize aircraft survivability modeling
and simulation (M&S), facilitate information exchange on aircraft survivability, and support aircraft survivability education for the DoD and U.S. aircraft community. Each
chartering command provides a senior aircraft survivability expert for the JASP Principal Members Steering Group (PMSG), which guides the program and approves
projects for funding. The JASP assesses and reports on combat damage incidents through the Joint Combat Assessment Team (JCAT) and is the Executive Agent for
the Joint Live Fire Aircraft Systems Program managed by the Live Fire Test office of DOT&E.

The Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munitions Effectiveness (JTCG/ME) was chartered 50 years ago to serve as Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) focal point for
munitions effectiveness information. The JTCG/ME produces Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manuals (JMEMs) that are the sole source for all Joint Service Authenticated
non-nuclear weapons effectiveness data and methodology for DoD. The JMEMs are the “how to” manuals for putting ordnance on target and as such, directly impacts
combat readiness, effectiveness, and survivability. JMEMs are used by the warfighters in operational weaponeering and collateral damage estimation calls in direct
support of operations, mission planning, and training; by the DoD, Joint, and Service planners in force-on-force modeling, mission area analysis, requirements studies
and weapon procurement planning; and by the service acquisition community in performance assessment, analysis of alternatives and survivability enhancement

studies. The JTCG/ME continually evolves weapons effectiveness and target vulnerability data, standards, methodologies, and processes based on the strategic
environment for better munitions effectiveness evaluation and support to a more lethal force. JTCG/ME also increases efficiency by leveraging ongoing Department
efforts and supporting the Department’s intent to complement U.S. interest and capabilities by providing weaponeering and targeting capability to Coalition partners.
The JMEM requirements and development processes are driven by operational lessons learned (Inherent Resolve, Resolute Support and Freedom Sentinel), Joint
Staff Data Call and the needs of Combatant Commands (CCMDs), Services, Military Targeting Committee (MTC) guided by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Instruction (CJCSI) 5140.01, Munitions Requirements Process (MRP) - DoD Instruction (DoDI) 3000.04 and Operational Users Working Groups (OUWGs) input for

ME products, as well as continued training events and day-to-day support -- all with the goal of enabling greater force lethality, strengthening partner capabilities, and
optimal use of resources.

This program element also includes funds to obtain Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) expertise in performing analyses in support of
described Live Fire Test and Evaluation tasks, as well as travel funds to carry out the LFT&E, JASP, and JTCG/ME programs.

- For example one effort updates the weaponeering methods needed to estimate Multiphase Blast Explosive (MBX) effects used
in low-collateral-damage munitions such as BLU-129/B to combine very low collateral damage with increased (nearfield) lethality
on a target.
- Another effort consolidates ongoing efforts to expedite the development and fielding of credible tools needed to evaluate ship
vulnerabilities to kinetic threat engagements while also enabling operational users to accurately/timely plan strike missions against
adversary surface ships.

JLF efforts also continue to leverage new technologies and test methods to improve Survivability/Lethality/Vulnerability evaluation
efficiency and credibility.

-For example, one effort aligns the DoD, Department of Energy, and industry experts to improve pedigree of weapons data,
provide uncertainty quantification for M&S validation, demonstrate operational and warfighter support for credible weapon effects,
and enhance LFT&E acquisition life-cycle by accelerating weapon development timelines and reducing cost.

-JLF is addressing test and evaluation shortfalls needed to adequately evaluate emerging hypersonic weapons by enabling optical
characterization of fragment dispersion in flight tests.

Reform the Department for greater performance and affordability to accelerate DOT&E initiatives and priorities, enabling policy
and procedure improvements while also directly supporting the warfighter requirements.

In coordination with established service activities JLF is developing a framework capable of consolidating available and future
LFT&E data in support of a range of data mining and data analytics intended to more effectively inform requirements, performance
evaluations and development of evaluation/test tools. JLF is focusing on application of scientific methods to standardize efficient
validation, verification, and accreditation processes for LFT&E/Joint Munition Effectiveness Manuals (JMEM) M&S tools to
accurately outline M&S capabilities, limitations, uncertainty quantification, and statistical confidence in predicted outcomes.

JLF is also continuing to lead innovation in LFT&E methods to increase LFT&E efficiency and support rapid fielding.

- JLF continues to enhance an M&S capability that will enable efficient evaluation of active protection systems integrated with
ground combat vehicles
- JLF is developing and optimizing machine learning and M&S tools to improve the ability to identify, quantify and project DoD
system vulnerabilities to cyber effects.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification


The Operational Test Activities and Analyses (OTA&A) programs are continuing efforts that provide management and oversight of test and evaluation functions and
expertise to the Department of Defense (DoD). The OTA&A programs consist of three activities: Joint Test and Evaluation (JT&E); Threat Systems (TS); and Center for
Countermeasures (CCM).

Joint Test and Evaluation (JT&E) projects are test and evaluation activities conducted in a joint military environment that develop process improvements. These multi-
Service projects, chartered by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and coordinated with the Joint Staff, appropriate combatant commanders, and the Services, provide
non-materiel solutions that improve: joint interoperability of Service systems, technical and operational concepts, joint operational issues, development and validation of
joint test methodologies, and test data for validating models, simulations, and test beds. New projects are also encouraged to align their efforts to supporting the 2018
National Defense Strategy. The JT&E projects address relevant joint war fighting issues in a joint test and evaluation environment by developing and providing new
tactics, techniques, and procedures to improve joint capabilities and methodologies.

Threat Systems, based on a memorandum of agreement between the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) and the Defense Intelligence Agency,
provides DOT&E support in the areas of threat resource analysis, intelligence support and threat systems investments. As DOT&E’s agent, Threat Systems provides
threat resource analyses on the availability, capabilities and limitations of threat representations (threat simulators, targets, models, U.S. surrogates, and foreign
materiel) and analysis of test resources used for operational testing to support DOT&E’s assessment of the adequacy of testing for those programs designated for
oversight by DOT&E and the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSD (A&S)). Threat Systems provides DOT&E action officers
and other DOT&E activities with program specific threat intelligence support. Threat Systems also funds management, oversight, and the actual development of
common-use threat specifications for threat simulators, threat representative targets, and digital threat models used for test and evaluation.

The Center, a Joint Service Countermeasure (CM) Test & Evaluation (T&E) Activity, directs, coordinates, supports, and conducts independent countermeasure/counter-
countermeasure (CCM) T&E activities of U.S. and foreign weapon systems, subsystems, sensors, and related components. The Center accomplishes this work in
support of DOT&E, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (DASD) for Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E), weapon system developers, and the Services.
The Center’s testing and analyses directly supports operational effectiveness and suitability evaluations of CM/CCM systems, such as missile warning and aircraft
survivability equipment (ASE), used on rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft. The Center develops unique CM/CCM test equipment to support testing in operationally
realistic environments. The Center determines the effectiveness of precision-guided weapon (PGW) systems and subsystems when operating in an environment
degraded by CMs. Analysis and recommendations on CM/CCM effectiveness are provided to Service Program Offices, DOT&E, DASD (DT&E), and the Services. The
Center also supports Service member exercises, training, and pre-deployment activities with expertise on CM/CCM technology and capabilities.

This Program Element includes funds to obtain Federally Funded Research and Development support and travel funds.

against realistic threat representations, including (but not limited to) threats from both revisionist powers such as China and Russia
threats from rogue regimes such as North Korea and Iran, and threats from non-state actors.
- Continue to conduct threat intelligence investigations that support use of innovative technologies in the areas of artificial
intelligence (AI), autonomy, robotics, machine learning (ML), quantum computing, lasers, nanotechnology, chemical and
biological, directed energy, hypersonic and biotechnology being developed by nation states to improve threat representation in the
contested domain of air, land, sea, space and cyberspace.
- Continue development of an Advanced Satellite Navigation Receiver (ASNR) for an open service Global Positioning System /
Inertial Measurement Unit (GPS/IMU) coupled high-fidelity, high dynamic next generation Time Space Position Information (TSPI)
system to support future missile tests and Joint Standard Instrumentation Suite (JSIS) flight testing.
- Continue initiatives to improve satellite and space threat representations and developing alternatives for conducting threat
realistic operational testing in response to environmental limitations.
- Continue to support initiatives for the development of Great Power threat representative jammers, for use in terrain constricted
tests as a directional active electronically steered array jammer that will limit Federal Aviation Administration and other common
jammer restrictions.
- Continue to sustain and manage threat M&S to support test and evaluation by overseeing and coordinating intelligence
community developed threat models, performing threat model anomaly resolution resolving differences from live fire testing,
integrating threat models into T&E facilities and distributing performance and signature models to T&E users.

The Center

The Center will continue to emphasize support of the DOT&E enterprise, with a clear focus on title 10 oversight programs,
DE, C-UAS, ASE, and warfighter training events. The Center expects to increase its focus on DEW systems and other critical
National Defense Strategy technology areas, which will contribute to the testing of future weapons and the understanding of
emerging threats. The Center’s ability to provide unique test equipment and expertise will remain a benefit to all Services, and
its ongoing improvement and modernization plans will ensure test capabilities are provided at a cost savings across the DoD.
Additional instrumentation, personnel, and training will be key to ensuring that the Center’s ongoing test support continues to add
significance in emerging technology areas.
In FY 2022, the Center will continue to build critical T&E capabilities, as well as the workforce necessary to evaluate emerging
DEW warfighting technologies. These T&E capabilities include mobile, open-air DEW data collection and analysis, which will
support the rapid prototyping and fielding needs of these systems. This mobile test capability will allow T&E of operational
representative scenarios in an open air environment to support the accelerated development and fielding of DEW within the DoD.
