Test and Evaluation Support
JHNA provides support to testing, experimentation and demonstrations for STOs, ATDs and JCTDs. We help design, coordinate, and conduct virtual and field experiments to explore, refine, and assess concepts, validate prototypes, and evaluate future capabilities. We shape experiments to identify the technical capabilities and limitations of the concepts and design options under consideration for development. Our efforts before, during, and after events help ensure that experiments provide benefit for either the user community or industry. Industry receives valuable marketing and exposure of the system and exposure of the developer to the user's environment. JHNA planning ensures experiments, evaluations and demonstrations are valuable to decision makers by producing data that provide actual user feedback on specific user requirements. These observations and data may also contribute to the development of tactics techniques and procedures. Event results can produce underpinning analysis for garnering follow-on support for funding and program decisions.
JHNA has experience with many of DoD's premier test facilities. JHNA has been a key participant in the development and coordination of several design evaluations for the Army's Future Force Warrior (FFW) Soldier equipment design. JHNA was the primary coordinator for the Lead Technology Integrator (LTI) Eagle Enterprise for the FFW ATD. We also created the operational scenarios, developed the demonstration plan, and coordinated administrative requirements and logistics for the Unmanned Autonomous Collaborative Operations (UACO) ATD in 2007 at Soldier Battle Lab facilities at Fort Benning, GA.
