**\*Funds for FY 2007 through 2011 will be found in PE 0605131OTE. The
administrative change to the Program Elements in the Operational Test
and Evaluation, Defense appropriation was necessary to reflect changes
brought about by the June 7, 1999 disestablishment of the Director,
Test, Systems Engineering and Evaluation and the subsequent realignment
of programs and responsibilities to the Director, Operational Test and
Evaluation.**

**A. (U) [MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM
JUSTIFICATION]{.underline}**

This PE directly supports the Congressional statutory requirements for
oversight of Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E). The primary
objective of LFT&E is to assure that the vulnerability and survivability
of Department of Defense (DoD) crew-carrying platforms and the lethality
of our conventional munitions are known and acceptable before entering
full-rate production. LFT&E encompasses realistic tests involving actual
United States (U.S.) and foreign hardware or, if not available,
acceptable surrogate threat hardware. The objective is to identify and
correct design deficiencies early in the development process. A
completed LFT&E test report is required before programs proceed beyond
low-rate initial production (BLRIP). It also includes realistic modeling
and simulation (M&S) to examine survivability and lethality attributes
not assessed during testing. The LFT&E program is essential, especially
in view of the escalating costs of technologically sophisticated weapons
systems.

The LFT PE also supports DoD's Joint Live Fire (JLF) Program. JLF was
begun in 1984 under an OSD charter to test fielded front-line U.S. and
threat combat aircraft and armor systems for their vulnerabilities as
well as fielded weapons, both U.S. and threat, for their lethalities
against their respective targets. Congress, seeing the vulnerability and
lethality issues raised by the JLF program, decided that there must be
legislation to require realistic testing of new systems before they
reach the field. Hence the LFT&E Legislation, U.S. Code, Title 10,
Section 2366 was passed in 1987.

This PE includes funds to obtain Federally Funded Research and
Development Center (FFRDC) support in performing the described tasks as
well as travel funds to carry out oversight of the LFT program.

This Research Category 6.5 PE supports LFT&E management activities for
the oversight of RDT&E of new systems, as well as RDT&E of fielded
systems.
