INTRODUCTION:

Project Manager for Instrumentation, Targets and Threat Simulators (PM ITTS) was established in 1990 at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, to provide centralized acquisition of the research, development, production and fielding of test assets and investments in support of full spectrum, developmental and operational testing for the U.S. Army. PM ITTS is the life cycle manager of major test instrumentation, aerial and ground targets, and threat simulators/systems, as well as manager of the operation and maintenance of targets and threats for developmental and operational test and evaluation (T&E). Additionally, PM ITTS is the executor for programs/funding of Army-led Office of Secretary of Defense (OSD) Central T&E Investment Program (CTEIP).

MISSION:

Manage the acquisition of optimized Instrumentation, Target and Threat System products and services in support of U.S. Army, Department of Defense, Government, Industrial, and International Customers.

Major PM ITTS initiatives include:

• Provide discipline to the acquisition of instrumentation, targets, and threat simulators
• Serve on Validation and Threat Accreditation Working Groups for targets and threat simulators
• Manage foreign materiel required to support developmental and operational test and evaluation
• Support the Tri-Service Test and Evaluation Reliance Process
• Support technology transfer for the integration of Testing and Training
• Support Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)
