Test and evaluation and graduate education needs.
testevaluationgr00jube.pdf (3.703Mb)Abstract
The hypothesis is advanced that testing and evaluation
(T&E) of complex weapons systems requires unique skills, that
the testing and evaluation of weapons systems has evolved
into a recognizable engineering discipline, and that professional
technical personnel in the Department of Defense
Test and Evaluation community should be considered as unique
assets and supported by the establishment of a postgraduate
curriculum in T&E engineering.
The evolution of DOD T&E is traced and analyzed with
particular attention to capability requirements of personnel.
The general conclusion is reached that the hypothesis can
not now be universally supported. Reasons for this position
are given and recommendations made for improving capabilities
of T&E personnel.
