JOINT TEST & EVALUATION
• Joint Urban Fires and Effects will increase the ability of the Joint Force Commander (JFC) to conduct urban fires
(lethal, non lethal, other) and assess effects relative to the desired operational effect.
• Joint Space Control Operation will make the JFC’s combat planning and execution more lethal through improved
command and control (C2) and space control negation joint tactics, techniques, and procedures (JTTPs).
• Joint Integration and Interoperability of Special Operations will focus on improving the joint planning, rehearsal,
and execution within the unique special operations mission areas of direct action and special reconnaissance to
ensure enhanced integration, interoperability, and collaboration with special operations forces.
A JT&E senior-level board will convene in January 2004 to decide which of these proposed tests will be chartered and
proceed to testing. As part of the re-engineering effort, the evaluation periods for these three were shortened by six
months to ensure prompt attention to their issues.
The following pages provide additional information on current JT&E test activities and the products they are providing
to the warfighter.
