Testing in a Distributed Environment Mr. Stephen Kreider, SES Acting Deputy Program Executive Office Integration DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT: Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. Case 10-1069. 7 Jan 2011.
PEO Integration Mission and Vision Mission The PEO Integration will utilize the Family of Systems approach to ensure integration and interoperability between Army Programs of Record (PORs), current force systems, urgent need systems, and other DOTL-PF elements to achieve integrated unit capabilities for a fullspectrum force. This integration approach will be implemented through development, acquisition, testing, product improvement and fielding while ensuring total ownership cost reduction. Vision To field fully integrated and tested capability packages composed of vehicles, network elements, equipment, and supporting infrastructure to modernize BCTs to achieve unprecedented joint combat capability in conjunction with the ARFORGEN process. The Army remains committed to an integrated development path for all capabilities, so while the individual systems will be under portfolio management by various PEOs, PEO Integration will be given the expanded mission for ensuring integration across those PEOs and associated portfolios. 2 Approved for public release; distribution unlimited.

Challenges with Testing a Network Environment There is no synchronized plan (short or long term) driving testing of Systems of Systems Integrated Network There are many players and many processes and that are not synchronized (JMETC, JOIN, FANS, JITC, ATIN, JTEN, BLCSE, MATREX DVL) Army Test and Evaluation Command no longer has a Virtual Proving Grounds Program and over the last 5 years capability on the ATEC Testing and Infrastructure Network (ATIN) has decreased little to no expertise in Army distributed testing (testing done local) The Army lacks requirements for designing, developing, integrating, testing and fielding of a Systems of Systems capability OSD policy towards Live only many times discourages distributed events Resulting in Test Officers wanting everything present for duty Continued to lack standard capabilities, instrumentation across test centers increases difficulty 3 Approved for public release; distribution unlimited.
