2 1 Objectives: Familiarize students with the JMST program and process Provide access to current AAS3Ps /JOTPs available for immediate use Provide tailoring examples for JOTP application Show future JMST Program of Work Show how JMST process can be applied to solve multiple issues for functional groups in a joint environment

3 2 Table of Contents Origins, Goals and Scope of JMST Process Accomplishments Applications and Opportunities

4 3 Initiatives Interwoven to Enhance Support to the Joint Warfighting Environment Initiatives Materiel Reviews: Collaborate on Joint Weapons Safety Reviews Requirements: Integrate Joint Weapons Safety Requirements in Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) Testing: Develop Joint Service Weapons Safety Testing Standards Expedites safety processes and testing to field weapons to the warfighter faster. 3

5 4 The Challenge Basic munitions safety tests are used for Safety and Suitability for Service (S3) assessment as contained in STANAG 4629 (NATO 2011). DoD acquisition has challenges in safety testing of munitions: Multiple duplicate/overlapping standards Multiple applications/interpretations of same standard by different Services Electrostatic Discharge Terminology differences Multiple (and redundant) tests conducted/expense of Reconciling multiple standards Users have told us acquisition takes too long

6 5 Joint Service Safety Testing Progression JSSTR Phase I Collected all safety tests Developed common weapon life cycle terms Assigned initial test categories Result: Validated need and obtained terms of reference consensus JSST Phase II Refined test categories Identified inconsistent, duplicate tests Facilitated test standard workshops Recommended draft systemindependent tests by life cycle Result: Drafted list of joint tests by life cycle (Index) JSST Phase III Gained Joint Service agreement on Index, and Long Drop Joint Ordnance Test Procedure (JOTP)-001 test Updating CJCSM 3170 Recommended Way Ahead on Joint Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (EEE) test Result: Applied Index to JCIDS doc JMST Phase IV Drafting NATO Allied Ammunition Safety and Suitability for Service Publication documents - Shoulder Fired - Large Caliber - Air Launched review Draft NATO test standards

7 6 Result #1: Validated Need for Joint Service Safety Testing Requirements Given the increasingly joint nature of the current military conflicts, Services are increasingly hindered and delayed by the need to require Shared/Joint duplicate and inconsistent safety tests in order to certify munitions for Requirements use, and qualify munitions for military transportation to deployed sites.

10 9 JMST and Joint Weapons Safety Working Group Roles, Responsibilities, and Relationship JMST - an established project with munitions SMEs working to develop Joint standardized safety tests enhancing transparency and data parity in Joint Service safety reviews, material release, and acceptance. JWSWG (Joint Weapons Safety Working Group) this J8 Joint Staffchartered Working Group is the National S3 Authority. Recommends harmonized safety review procedures, evaluation criteria and common safety capabilities and attributes across the DoD Components for conventional weapons. JMST-JWSWG JMST s deliberations and product fall under the purview of the JWSWG and the JWSWG advises the JMST.

11 JWSWG Obtained Consensus on Munitions Safety Tests by Joint Warfighting Modes: Index 10

12 11 DSOC Established by SECDEF Memo DSOC Task Force Acquisition and Technology Programs - Initiative sponsored by the Acquisition and Technology Programs Task Force (ATP TF) of the Defense Safety Oversight Council (DSOC) under the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (OUSD) for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (AT&L) in response to the Secretary of Defense s (SECDEF) memo on reducing preventable accidents (SECDEF 2003) 11

13 12 Army-MST and JSSTR Comparative Analysis by JWSWG: Army-MST and JSST goals similar. Levels are different and compatible. JSST is high level, system independent. Army-MST is commodity specific, system dependent. Merged Army-MST and JSST are complimentary; combined, they bridge the capabilities developer community and material review acquisition community. Improved consistency in safety of use policy Department-wide; compressing time, factory to foxhole. Increase Program development stability for the Program Manager; conserving constrained resources.

14 13 JMST Goals: Contribute to a more streamlined Safe Weapons Endorsement advisory function of the JWSTAP by providing members a template for consistency in addressing JCIDS documents under review Establish Joint weapon safety requirements early in the acquisition process by calling out the appropriate standardized Joint test document within the JCIDS documents (Initial Capability Document, Capability Development Document, Capabilities Production Document) Enhance weapon safety by providing for common handling and storage environmental risk picture in support of a joint war fighting environment

15 14 JMST Scope: Guide personnel involved in the planning and execution of Safety and Suitability for Service (S3) test documents structured under STANAG 4629 Safety for Service Assessment Testing of Non-Nuclear Munitions as Allied Publications Ammunition- Large Caliber, -Medium Caliber, -Small Caliber; -Non-Lethal; - Man emplaced demolitions Missile/Rocket-Air Launched; -Surface Launched; -Man carried Explosive Ancillary; Pyrotechnics; Fuze and Ignition; Underwater; Insensitive Munitions; Electromagnetic Environmental Effects; Software Limitations Scope limited to only munitions safety tests; not ALL International Test Operations Procedures. Only applicable to conventional test items Not intended to be used to aid the assessment of effectiveness, reliability or performance of a munition

16 15 NATO AC326 SG3 Working Group For The Development of Safety and Suitability for Service Documents Under the auspices of the NATO AC326 Subgroup 3, the Working Group for the Development of S3 documents developed STANAG 4629 (NATO 2011) Safety and Suitability for Service Assessment Testing of Non-Nuclear Munitions, a six-page standardization agreement paving the way for improved munitions type-specific joint test standards. The S3 Working Group efforts were complimentary with the Joint Service Safety Testing recommendations, the work was linked in a dual path domestic and international process.

20 19 Joint Ordnance Test Procedures (JOTP) The US Joint Working Group publishes a commodity-specific corresponding JOTP for each AAS3P. In most cases, these two products are developed at the same time, by the same group of SMEs, and contain identical procedures. Features of JOTPS: Narrow coordination, can be developed quickly by a small inter-service team of SMEs, coordinated among designated service SMEs, and published Address an immediate need by developing JOTPs in 6 to 9 months, then use JOTPs as a basis for developing NATO Allied Publications to eventually replace the JOTPs. Designed to be retired when the corresponding AAS3P is ratified. If the NATO Allied Publication route encounters difficulties, or is delayed, then the JOTP may remain active or incorporated into a MIL-STD.

21 20 Benefits of the JOTP Path: The established JOTP methodology and process may be used by a joint group to institutionalize their agreed-to best practices. The JOTP may be used to address a non-commodity specific vulnerability, such as Electromagnetic Environmental Effects, Insensitive Munitions (notional), fuze testing and design, or Software Safety Assessment (notional). The JOTP may be used as a US implementation document for the corresponding AAS3P. The AAS3Ps allow for tailoring of the test programs. In this case, if required, the JOTP would address nation specific tailoring that would meet or exceed the requirements in the AAS3P. The JOTP may be developed in advance of the corresponding AAS3P development. In this case, the JOTP may be reissued after development of the AAS3P if international cooperation revealed technical superiority."

24 23 JMST Safety Test Development Methodology Develop Joint standardized munition safety tests by commodity grouping for all acquisition programs involved in developing weapons systems and for all sponsors involved in developing system-specific capabilities documents (CDD/CPDs). Conduct initial analysis and detailed comparisons for purpose, applicability, item configuration, preconditioning requirements, conditions, pass/fail criteria, sample size. Pre-Workshop activity captures common testing objectives, documents duplicative testing and validates technical rationale for any differences. Conduct Workshops to resolve issues and create working draft test document by key Subject Matter Experts (SME). Post-Workshop activity builds on consensus, is characterized by full transparency and collaboration, and expands the participation of stakeholders to the broader test community. Documents are formatted and produced in accordance with AAP-3J and S3AP (Safety and Suitability for Service Allied Publication) of STANAG 4629 for AC326 approval.

29 28 AAS3P Three Aspects of Tailoring: S3 AAS3P-10 Working Group (Tailoring) tailors test series to commodity item when developing the JOTPs Program tailors test program to projected commodity life cycle Tailoring shall be approved by National S3 Authority Test Asset requirements are tailored Tailoring shall be approved by National S3 Authority Example Annex B, Appendix 3 of AAS3P-10, An S3 test program is to be conducted for a previously fielded system with a new propulsion unit. The modifications include new propellant charge weight and new igniter, but structural and sealing components remain unchanged. Warhead, guidance, and seeker systems are unchanged, as is the anticipated user environment. The warhead safe and arm/fuze component(s) have been qualified (or has a favorable S3 assessment) in accordance with AOP-20. Example uses the analytical approach and reduces the sample size from 52 down to 22 (additional rounds required for Insensitive Munitions, Hazard Classification, Electromagnetic Environmental Effects, and logistical drop).
