1 UNMANNED SYSTEMS T&E Challenges & Opportunities Dr. James Streilein February 2008

2 Agenda ATEC Mission Achieving Balance (Traditional & Rapid) Common Rapid Acquisition Challenges Unmanned Systems ATEC Involvement Unmanned Systems Unique Challenges T&E Opportunities 2

3 ATEC Mission: Does it Work?...How Do I Know? EFFECTIVENESS SUITABILITY SURVIVABILITY 3

4 Mission Statement Facilitate equipment procurement/fielding decisions through testing and analysis to ensure our Army s Warfighters have the right capabilities for success across the entire spectrum of operations. Conduct rapid testing in direct support of the Global War on Terror, providing capabilities and limitations analyses of weapon systems to enable employment decisions for rapid fielding to the Combat Soldier. 4

5 How We Fit GWOT Secretary of Defense Director, OTE DUSA T&E Executive Secretary of the Army Chief of Staff Under Secretary of Defense (AT&L), Director Defense Systems/ DD Developmental T&E Assistant Secretary for AL&T ARH MGS TEMA Vice Chief of Staff FMTV Army Test and Evaluation Command MRAP MG Nadeau Army Evaluation Center Developmental Test Command Operational Test Command Mr. Simmons BG Turner COL(P) Potts JNN FCS Legend T&E Policy and Oversight Independent Reporting Mandated by by US Code, OMB, and OSD 5

6 Achieving Balance PAST Strong methodical testing Requires Time/Money CURRENT Two pronged Continue traditional testing Added rapid testing (Capabilities & Limitations) TRADITIONAL ACQUISITION Slow, sequential (years) Risks Mitigated Fully Synchronized Bureaucratic All data Robust DT Full OT Expensive FUTURE A different degree of normalcy What is it? Where does it apply? RAPID ACQUISITION Quick, overlapping (months) Higher Risk Opportunistic Less bureaucratic Limited Data Constrained DT Limited OT C&L Report to User Less Expensive Relatively Fast 6

7 Common Rapid Acquisition Challenges Requirements are technology-driven vice user-driven Often unclear concept of operations Reliance on contractor test data and informal unit feedback Unknown COTS suitability for operational environmental conditions Immature system supportability considerations prior to deployment Indefinite contractor logistics support 7

8 Unmanned Systems Wide ATEC Involvement AIR ER/MP (Extended Range/Multi-Purpose) FCS Class I (MAV Heavy Fuel) FCS Class IV (Fire Scout) Joint Tactical UAS (Hunter) Small UAS (Raven) Tactical UAS (Shadow) Warrior A GMAV (Gas Micro Air Vehicle) Telluride Rapid Acquisition GROUND FCS Small UGV IMS LKMD MDAR Outpost SWORDS Spider NMS ANDROS Robot Concorde Husky & RG-31 Interrogation Arms MV-4 Mine Roller LVUSS Robot MARCBot Mini-EOD Robot ODIS Pipe Robots Rabbit Routerunner Talon 3B Tactibot / Throwbot / Toughbot xbot (PackBot FasTac) Rapid Acquisition 8

9 Unmanned Systems Unique Challenges Increased operator workload Manning & organization considerations Balancing manned and unmanned system tasks Remote spatial orientation Complex supportability considerations Remote condition monitoring Self-recovery and transportability Mission creep increases logistics burden 9

10 Unmanned Systems Unique Challenges Weaponized robots Fail-safe design required for system safety Reliability dependent on software & command link Rapid target detection/identification needed System-of of-system interoperability Airspace management Spectrum management Network management 10

11 T&E Opportunities Aid requirements and system development T&E community has enduring, diverse knowledge Integrated contractor/government testing Learn early; test within operational context; minimize duplication Forward Operational Assessment Team Feedback loop for system changes or updates to employment considerations & TTPs Mission-based T&E System contribution to mission accomplishment 11
