From the executive summary: “The Department of Defense (DoD) 2022 National Defense Strategy has realized the need for advanced technology and more rapid development and fielding of that technology to sustain dominance against peer/near-peer threats. In support of these objectives, the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) engaged the Acquisition Innovation Research Center (AIRC) University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) in a multi-year contract to advance test and evaluation (T&E) methods within the DoD, and the research is concluding the initial years’ worth of effort. The multi-university AIRC research team that has partnered with DOT&E has focused research efforts over the past year in support of the DOT&E Implementation Plan. Though established as two contracts under WRT-1070 Test and Evaluation Methods for Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) and WRT-1071 Digital Transformation (DT) in Test and Evaluation for AI/ML, Autonomous, and Continuously Evolving System, the research team has united the efforts for efficiency and for alignment to the Implementation Plan (I-Plan). The research team focused on, under advisement from DOT&E technical leadership, supporting three of the five key pillars within the Implementation Plan.”
