The T&E/S&T Program performs technical risk reduction for next generation test capabilities and enables technology insertion to modernize DoD test ranges and laboratories in pace with weapon system advancements. The T&E/S&T Program matures test technologies from proofs of concept (i.e., Technology Readiness Level 3) up to prototype demonstrations in a relevant test environment (i.e., Technology Readiness Level 6) for test capabilities designed to verify the war fighting performance of the nation's most advanced weapon systems. The T&E/S&T Program is managed by the Test Resource Management Center, a DoD Field Activity that directly reports to the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, and is organized into eight Test Technology Areas: 1) Advanced Instrumentation Systems Technology 2) Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) and Software Intensive Systems Test 3) Cyberspace Test Technology 4) Directed Energy Test 5) Electronic Warfare Test 6) High Speed Systems Test 7) Spectrum Efficient Technology 8) Unmanned and Autonomous Systems Test The purpose of this event is to increase awareness of contracting opportunities among researchers and developers in Academia, Industry, and Government. The following information and opportunities will be available to attendees: Overview of the T&E/S&T Program and each of the eight Test Technology Areas Preview of upcoming T&E/S&T Broad Agency Announcement research topics An extended technical discussion on each of the eight Test Technology Areas Contracting and proposal requirements Individual meetings with the T&E/S&T Program Manager and Test Technology Area Executing Agents Registration for this event is required, but there is no attendance fee. Once you have registered, you will have access to additional meeting information, including the agenda. You can also request a private session with the T&E/S&T Program Manager (PM), or any of the Test Technology Area Executing Agents (EAs).
