FCS Description:Comprised of a Family of Systems

Advanced, networked air- and ground-based maneuver, maneuver support,and sustainment systemsIncludes manned and unmanned platformsNetworked via a C4ISR architecture

Will operate as a System of SystemsNetwork existing systems, systems already under development, and newsystems to be developed to meet the needs of the UA.Network will enable:

improved Information Surveillance Reconnaissance, enhanced analytical tools, jointexchange of blue and red force tracking down to the tactical level, real time sensor-shooterlinkages, and increased synergy between echelons and within small unitsthe UA to connect to UE, joint capabilities, and national assets

HighlightsHow do we ensure that T&E planning process is integrated intothe SE process?

Early involvement of the tester.How do we integrate the SEP and TEMP?

Build them together using a CTO approach.How do we ensure the tester is part of the SE process?

Get the CTO involved earlyHow do we make T&E support verification of the SE process?

T&E is the verification part of SEImplement the right tools and proactive planning

Are there process changes need by industry and Govt?CTO ensures an effective, integrated T&E strategy


How Much is

To gather information to reducethe risk to a level acceptable tothose responsible for theapplication

Who is really responsible forthe application and candetermine the acceptable risk;tester, evaluator, contractor, PM,developer, user, Congress,media, taxpayer, or acombination of these?

To test until risk has beenadequately reduced

What determines adequatelyreduced risk; resourceconstraints, schedule constraints,environmental and safetyconcerns, a driving requirementto immediately employ thetechnology, political or socialconsiderations?

Testing Enough


How much testing is Enough?

Enough is a function of how Early in thedevelopment cycle testing is accomplished

The Earlier it is accomplished,the less testing is requiredand the greater the value


How much Testing is Enough?Risk are we willing to accept?

Testing must be conscious of, highlight,and explore all risk areas.

Understand the Risk

Program Failure Technological obsolescence Life and Limb

Risk
