## What project 9999 buys

Automated Test and ReTest (ATRT) Enterprise Rapid Capability develops, integrates, and deploys novel capabilities aggregated from mature technologies in support of Distributed Maritime Operations. ATRT technologies provide essential development, assessment, and operational analysis capabilities to streamline testing and certification for both single systems and systems of systems capabilities in order to reduce development time for new capabilities from years to weeks. Further, ATRT leverages support to refactoring, development, and assessment of Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) aids with other applications to deliver warfighting capability. The integration of legacy code and systems across the Naval warfighting portfolio aims to achieve an open integration and interoperability environment. These capabilities are enabled through the use of virtualized systems of systems, automated test and analysis, automated certification, rapid interface development, and field with data collection and edge analytics. These technologies are at the heart of the Navy's rapid capability approach, which combines digital engineering tools with evolutionary approaches to requirements generation, operational testing, and deployment. Project funding supports application of ATA technologies to software-intensive acquisition programs through continued development and commercialization of ATRT Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) technologies across the Navy enterprise. These SBIR derived technologies enable the Navy enterprise to make rapid capability improvements through software updates while maintaining a continuous Authority to Operate (ATO) on a common digital warfighting platform, and in enterprise sandbox technologies.
