The Army T&E Investment Strategy

Shape the Army’s T&E infrastructure by investing incapabilities which support the Army of the future,

producing accurate, reliable, and cost effectiveinformation for use by decision makers at all levels.

The strategy is captured in the Army Test ResourcesMaster Plan (ATRMP).

• Updated annually to support the Army POM development.• Based on the Army Modernization Plan and Army Science

and Technology Master Plan.

OTC Analytic Simulation andInstrumentation Suite (OASIS)

OASIS provides the“wrap-around”environment for testing the network-centricsystems of tomorrow, providing theinformationneeded forevaluations.

OASIS funding provides the management to ensure

future success.

OASIS tools areindividually funded,and drawn from all

sources througha cohesive plan to provide robust testenvironments and

accurate data collection.

11

Major OASIS ToolsSimulation/Stimulation Instrumentation

• STORM - Designed for FBCB2 tests,provides Blue Situational Awareness tothe Lower TI

– Simulation Training Operations Rehearsal Model

• IMASE - Designed to provide the threatbased multi-spectral environment,provides ISR test capability platform toCorps

• Intelligence Modeling and Simulation for Evaluations

• ExCIS-FSA - Designed for fire supporttests, emulates and stimulates Corpslevel indirect fires

– Extensible C4I Instrumentation System, Fire SupportApplication

• CEES/MFMS - Designed for ADA systemtests

– C3I Engineering Evaluation System / Mobile FlightMission Simulator

• C3 Driver - Designed for C3interoperability tests, provides certaincommunications threads

– Command, Control, and Communications Driver

• MAIS - Provides RTCA, PositionLocation. Serves as the link betweenSimulations and Live players

– Mobile Automated Instrumentation System

• CVII - “Plug and play” suite of vehiculardata recording instrumentation. AV, Databus, etc.

– Common Vehicular Instrumentation Initiative

• ORTCAIS - Future initiative for“laserless” RTCA based on geometricpairing

– Objective Real Time Casualty AssessmentInstrumentation System

• IFDC/MFDC/VFDC - Generational FieldData Collectors. Major component ofCVII

– Improved, Mobile, and Vehicle Field Data Collectors
