Vision Statement To be the best operational test agency, recognized for impartial, accurate, and timely contributions that continuously improve America s warfighting capability. 2
Mission Statement We assess the capability of new systems to meet warfighter needs by planning, executing, and reporting independent operational evaluations. From concept development through system employment, we provide effectiveness, suitability, and operational impact expertise in the battlespace environment. 3
Spectrum of Testing OPERATIONAL testing for the warfighter in the representative BATTLESPACE ENVIRONMENT 4
Approach To Testing Early Involvement is critical to success Operational testing requires: PRODUCTION-REPRESENTATIVE REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEMS With demonstrated STABILIZED PERFORMANCE In a representative OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT Effectiveness & Suitability evaluations Operational Impact Assessments 5
Seamless Verification/Integrated Testing Implemented through integrated test and evaluation - Integrates DT & OT objectives and participation - Early planning for utilization of test resources - Collaboration early in system development - Continuously evaluate systems - Eliminates pass-fail philosophy Not just combined testing, but using DT data for OT when possible Key stakeholders must integrate their efforts Title 10 responsibilities are still met - Independent and dedicated period of OT&E 6
OT&E Transformation System-of-Systems Testing Ensuring systems will work in their intended environment, where they interact with other systems Joint and Coalition Testing Ensuring Air Force systems will work with systems from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and with Coalition forces. 7

Function Within the Air Force Support delivery of new systems Testing required by public law Enable the production of enhanced capabilities for military power and dominance Provide credible, accurate, operationally significant information 20
Air Force Transformation Capabilities Based Requirements In the past, requirements were written in terms of specifications g Radar must see 2000 km Requirements are now written in terms of capabilities g Radar must see target with sufficient distance to successfully engage and defeat Evolutionary Acquisition Capability not delivered all at once Capability delivered incrementally as the system matures 21
Our Value To The Warfighter Identify system capabilities and risks to successful system employment on the battlefield Identify contributions and force employment impacts to achieve battlefield objectives 22
