Assessing the Physical and Technical Suitability of DoD Test and Evaluation Ranges and Infrastructure (Virtual Site Visit #6)

April 13, 2021

12:00 PM - 5:00 PM (EDT)

Past

About

The Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) is an Air Force MRTFB. NTTR provides training, test, and developmental testing area and hosts test operations of the 98th Test Wing and other customers for OT&E test. The committee was able to engage in a full day virtual discussion with individuals from various NTTR elements including plans and programs, operations, financial management, physical security, range support, and program management. This visit was conducted virtually on 13 April 2021. Managing increasing capacity was noted as a major current challenge at NTTR. Additionally, personnel indicated the need to better anticipate future program requirements. A possible solution mentioned was connecting earlier with the DT community to learn about and coordinate test requirements. Another challenge is data transmission speed, with personnel noting that customers may have to wait 50-60 days to receive data results from their test event. Future OT&E challenges included a lack of understanding as to how to incorporate AI into test events, the lack of definitions for MDOs, and the need to purchase radar arrays that are not run on proprietary software. A final future OT&E issue mentioned was that the stove piping of programs, meaning the lack of coordination and integration across programs and missions, makes MDO testing difficult to perform.
