Develop a set of urban test capabilities to fulfill the Department of Defense’s (DOD) need for a realistic, reconfigurable, instrumented urban test environment to support developmental and operational testing in a multi-dimensional battlefield.
DESCRIPTION:
JUTC is a Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) project using an evolutionary acquisition approach to deliver test capabilities in increments to the DOD test community. JUTC is system of systems comprised of: a representative Live Urban Area; Augmented Urban Environment Effects (AUEE); Virtual and Constructive Urban Environment; Data Collection, Reduction and Analysis; Test Planning and Control; Test Architecture and Net-Centric Interoperability; Weapon System Urban Test Capability; Communications Jamming Urban Test Capability; and Infrared (IR) Countermeasure System Urban Test Capability. The first incremental capability is a subset of the total requirement and will be located at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR). The first increment will include a portion of the Live Urban Area, the AUEE, Data Collection, Reduction and Analysis, Test Planning and Control and Test Architecture and Net-Centric Interoperability. Follow-on capabilities such as live environments at China Lake and virtual and constructive environments for WSMR, China Lake and Patuxent River will be addressed in later increments.
