Simulation has an essential role in test and evaluation. It provides efficiencies in U.S. Army acquisition strategies of mission-based test and evaluation and integrated testing and training, as evident with the Boeing Engineering Development Simulator during the Apache Block III force development test and experimentation testing. Simulators provide a representative environment where testers can safely test a product's or system's mission effectiveness. Ideal for integrated testing, simulators combine developmental and operational testing as they enable safe simultaneous testing of multiple elements. Additional benefits of cost and risk reduction were realized as well as aviation doctrine development.

The objective of this study is to formulate a set of guidelines for the application of computer simulations and models to the problem of assessing weapon system performance. Specifically, the study addresses the question: how the OT & E community can use models and simulations more effectively in evaluating weapon systems. The methodology for conducting operational testing is multidimensional; the number of variables precludes a hard set of rules for what, when, and how best to simulations. The primary audience is the decisionmaker in the Air Force and in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) who must support the development of more capable methods by which to formulate his program support decisions. This study focuses on the application of simulation techniques to the problem of assessing a weapon system's performance in its operational environment. Because of the exhaustive work that has been done in the area of simulation and modeling, the study avoids detailed discussions of simulations. Testing is a key element in the defense system acquisition process because it provides data for evaluating system development progress.

The Department of Defense has attempted to use recent advances in modeling and simulation to improve the acquisition process for weapons systems. This Simulation Based Acquisition brought advances in the process, but considerable disagreement remains over the universal applicability of this approach. This paper focuses on the challenges of applying modeling and simulation to the Test and Evaluation of a weapon system with significant Pilot-Vehicle interface concerns. The Standoff Land Attack Missile Expanded Response (SLAM ER) is an aircraftlaunched missile with GPS/INS guidance for navigation to the target area and Man In The Loop (MITL) control in the terminal phase. The MITL control is conducted through a two way video and control data link which transmits infrared video from the missile seeker to the control aircraft and guidance update commands from the pilot back to the missile. After initial fielding of the weapon system, two preplanned product improvement programs were begun to add both an Automatic Target Acquisition (ATA) functionality to aid in pilot target identification as well as a capability to engage moving targets at sea (ASuW). Both Software in the Loop and Hardware in the Loop simulations were available for the testing of both these SLAM ER improvements. This paper focuses on the utility of this simulation support in the Test and Evaluation prior to delivery to the operational users. Though the management issues of cost and schedule can be large drivers in the use of modeling and simulation, this paper will focus on the performance aspect of weapon system evaluation. Through the course of both the ATA and ASuW evaluations, simulation was able to provide very limited contributions to evaluations of system performance when MITL control was a concern. Simulation was useful in providing data on easily quantifiable parameters, such as seeker scan rates. However, flight tests with a physical prototype provided the only effective data when subjective measures such as pilot workload and pilot target identification were a concern. The simulators available did not effectively replicate the pilot interface or workload environment to the level required for valid MITL data. Only when an issue with the pilot interface was easily defined in quantifiable engineering data was simulation useful in identifying a possible solution--one that had to be further evaluated in subsequent flight testing. As the quality of models and simulations continue to improve with advances in computing, modeling of the pilot vehicle interfaces may improve in the future. Until that time, management controls will be essential to correct application of modeling and simulation in areas where MITL is a concern. The development of models and simulations should begin early in the acquisition effort with robust verification and validation devoted to the pilot interface. Early identification of the areas in which simulations can contribute to the MITL evaluation effort as well as recognition of the limitations of models and simulations. Finally, the validated simulations should be viewed as an enhancement to the evaluation effort with live testing of the physical prototype forming the basis of the MITL evaluation, particularly when the system approaches the final phases of Developmental Testing and prepares for Operational Testing.

The Simulation Test and Evaluation Process is one that integrates both simulation and test for the purpose of interactively evaluating and improving the design, performance, joint military worth, survivability, suitability, and effectiveness of systems to be acquired and Improving how those systems will be used. STEP significantly reengineers the way modeling and simulation is used with test and evaluation to support acquisition reform. STEP implements the intent of the DoD 5000-series acquisition regulations and is anticipated to contribute to: Substantially reducing the time, resources, and risk associated with the acquisition process, In creasing the quality, military utility, and supportability of systems developed and fielded, while reducing their total ownership costs, and Facilitating Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) across the full acquisition life cycle. We are providing these STEP Guidelines for all those who are involved with the acquisition, fielding, and employment of new military capabilities. We expect engineers, users, support planners, trainers, managers, and executives to use the process and benefit from it. Within T & E, our intent is to ensure that modeling and simulation truly becomes an integral part of our test and evaluation process. We will expect to see this reflected in test planning and conduct and documented in Test and Evaluation Master Plans.

The Panel on Statistical Methods for Testing and Evaluating Defense Systems had a broad mandate-to examine the use of statistics in conjunction with defense testing. This involved examining methods for software testing, reliability test planning and estimation, validation of modeling and simulation, and use of modem techniques for experimental design. Given the breadth of these areas, including the great variety of applications and special issues that arise, making a contribution in each of these areas required that the Panel's work and recommendations be at a relatively general level. However, a variety of more specific research issues were either brought to the Panel's attention by members of the test and acquisition community, e.g., what was referred to as Dubin's challenge (addressed in the Panel's interim report), or were identified by members of the panel. In many of these cases the panel thought that a more in-depth analysis or a more detailed application of suggestions or recommendations made by the Panel would either be useful as input to its deliberations or could be used to help communicate more individual views of members of the Panel to the defense test community. This resulted in several research efforts. Given various criteria, especially immediate relevance to the test and acquisition community, the Panel has decided to make available three technical or background papers, each authored by a Panel member jointly with a colleague. These papers are individual contributions and are not a consensus product of the Panel; however, the Panel has drawn from these papers in preparation of its final report: Statistics, Testing, and Defense Acquisition. The Panel has found each of these papers to be extremely useful and they are strongly recommended to readers of the Panel's final report.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the integration of Modeling and Simulation (M & S) into the U.S. Army Operational Test and Evaluation (OT & E) process. The elements. shortfalls, and recurring problems associated with the OT & E system are examined with a focus on those that can be addressed by M & S. Current and future M & S architectures are outlined to provide a base of understanding for the applicability to the OT & E process and issues. Analysis of the potential strengths and weaknesses of M & S in addressing OT & E problems and issues are presented. Lessons learned from past OT & E efforts are also analyzed for process improvement through M & S integration. From this analysis, a set of recommendations in the area of M & S integration into Army OT & E are formulated and offered.
