## What project 3206 buys

The Testing & Evaluation (T&E) Enterprise merges common ship, element, and system requirements into the fewest number of test events while leveraging planned Combat System Ship Qualification Trials (CSSQT) to accomplish Developmental Testing (DT) and Operational Testing (OT) requirements. All tests on the SDTS require the sharing of infrastructure, missile range allocations, execution time, and underway time to eliminate duplicative testing. T&E Enterprise provides end-to-end mission Operational Testing in a realistic operational environment, capitalizing on Probability of Raid Annihilation Modeling and Simulation (M&S) data validated with results of Operational and Live Fire Testing, and ensuring a consistent approach across ship classes. Applicability of all test events is beneficial across multiple ship classes with the same variation under test. Currently executing Test & Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP 1910) in support of Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) Baseline 12 and SPY-6(V)2/3 Platforms. TEMP 1910 merges common ship, element, and system requirements into the fewer test events. Enterprise Cost elements: a) Enterprise Testing and Planning. Includes the contractor and government costs to administer the Enterprise, collect and distribute data from live events, maintain Cybersecurity certifications, and financial management. b) Self-Defense Test Ship (SDTS) Combat Systems. Includes preventive maintenance and repairs of major combat system elements. c) Enterprise Testbed (ETB). Requires integration of OT-quality digital representations of shipboard combat system performance including infrastructure, distributed secure network, and common environmental services for DT/OT. d) SDTS Integrated Testing (IT). SDTS testing requirements outlined in TEMP 1910 in support of SSDS Baseline 12 and SPY-6(V)2/3 Platforms.

### T&E Enterprise

1) Enterprise Testing and Planning: a) Test planning necessary to conduct testing of the SSDS BL 12 CS variants in support of TEMP 1910 planned events. b) Continue to provide overall technical management and financial execution support for the T&E Enterprise. Provide aircraft services coordination, technical documentation support, and…
