Despite widespread policy support and increasingly sophisticated measurement tools, the evaluation of human factors issues within operational test and evaluation (OT&E) continues to lag behind the evaluation of other system elements. This situation can be traced, in part, to difficulties in integrating human factors findings with system performance measures. The present paper discusses one approach to this problem that is being implemented in the OT&E of the Consolidated Space Operations Center (CSOC).

Operational Test And Evaluation

The effective use of resources to evaluate defense systems is a matter of continuing interest to the operational test and evaluation (OT&E) community. A three-phased methodology was developed to identify potential problem areas, and to focus evaluation efforts on those areas. Phase 1 identifies areas upon which to focus attention through OT&E scenario analysis. Phase 2 determines the data required to evaluate problem areas. Phase 3 determines the procedures to be employed to collect the data. This approach provides OT&E personnel with a systematic method of optimizing the allocation of test resources.
