Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com Integrated DT/OT As a special case of a Combined DT/OT, a single phased event that generates data to address developmental and operational issues simultaneously under operational conditions. The execution strategy for this event is based on the requirements of the program. Integrated Product and Process Management (IPPM) An Army management process that integrates all activities from product concept through production and field support, using a multifunctional team, to simultaneously optimize the product and its manufacturing and sustainment processes to meet cost and performance objectives.
Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) A technique that integrates all acquisition activities in order to optimize system development, production, and deploy- ment. Key to the success of the IPPD concept are the Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), which are composed of qualified and empowered representatives from all appropriate functional disciplines who work together to identify and resolve issues. As such, IPTs are the foundation for organizing for risk management.
Integrated Product Team (IPT) A team composed of representatives from all appropriate functional disciplines and levels of organization working together with a leader to build successful and balanced programs, identify and resolve issues, and make sound and timely decisions. Integrated testing and evaluation A T&E strategy that reduces the multiple and redundant products and processes, and encompasses the development of a single integrated system evaluation plan and a single integrated test/simulation strategy, leading to a single system evaluation report for the customer.
The process also increases the use of contractor data for evaluation and expands the use of M&S with the goal of reducing T&E costs. Integrated T&E strategies may include combined DT/OT events where appropriate. Lethality The ability of a munition (or laser, high power microwave, and so forth) to cause damage that will cause the loss or degradation in the ability of a target system to complete its designated mission(s).
Limited user test (LUT) Any type of RDTE funded user test conducted that does not address all of the effectiveness, suitability, and survivability issues and is therefore limited in comparison to an IOT that must address all effectiveness, suitability, and survivability issues. The Limited User Test (LUT) addresses a limited number of operational issues. The LUT may be conducted to provide a data source for system assessments in support of the LRIP decision (MS C) and for reviews conducted before IOT.
The LUT may be conducted to verify fixes to problems discovered in IOT that must be verified prior to fielding when the fixes are of such importance that verification cannot be deferred to the FOT. Logistic demonstration A demonstration that evaluates the achievement of maintainability goals, the adequacy and sustainability of tools, test equipment, selected test programs sets, built-in test equipment, associated support items of equipment, technical publications, maintenance instructions, troubleshooting procedures, and personnel skill requirements.
Also evaluated are the selection and allocation of spare parts, tools, test equipment, and tasks to appropriate maintenance levels, and the adequacy of maintenance time standards. Logistician An Army staff element that conducts or oversees the logistic evaluation of systems being acquired and assures that logistics is adequately addressed in the TEMP and detailed test plans. MANPRINT The entire process of integrating the full range of manpower, personnel, training, human factors, system safety, health hazards, and survivability throughout the materiel development and acquisition process.
Materiel developer (MATDEV) The research, development, and acquisition command, agency, or office assigned responsibility for the system under development or being acquired. This position can refer to the PEO, program or project manager, or others assigned to this function by the developing agency. 55 AR 73–1 • 1 August 2006
