Planning will also include the development, coordination, and implementation of operational scenarios using Design of Experiments principles to evaluate THAAD performance in flight tests, ground tests, and M&S venues.
- Testing will consist of developing a Test Event Plan, deploying to test sites, collecting data, and preparing Quick-Look Briefings, After-Action Reports, and Test Incident Reports.
- Evaluation will consist of analyzing data from flight tests, ground tests, and M&S venues and answering the THAAD Critical Operational Issues and Criteria (COICs), Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs) and Measures of Performance (MOPs) documented in the THAAD OAP. The analysis results are used to evaluate THAAD performance supporting milestone decisions. The THAAD evaluation for each milestone decision is documented in the THAAD Evaluation Database, THAAD Operational Test Agency (OTA) Milestone Assessment Report (OMAR), and associated briefings. Evaluation also consists of analyzing M&S performance against established M&S performance parameters and acceptability criteria documented in the THAAD MSAP using verification and validation (V&V) reports provided by the M&S developer. Based on this analysis, THAAD M&S accreditation recommendations are documented in the THAAD M&S Accreditation Report (MSAR) and supporting briefings.
- Reporting is the formal documentation, coordination, publishing, and approval of the THAAD OMAR, THAAD Evaluation Database, THAAD MSAR, and supporting briefings. These products are coordinated with the entire THAAD ATEC System Team (AST).
