The major SoS test events for the Program are shown across the top of this chart. At the SoS level we are conducting a series of Integrated Mission Tests in our SIL environment combining M&S tools with emerging hardware and software as it comes out of our OTP’s engineering development and verification program. As additional systems become available, they are integrated into these IMTs as well as a series of hardware based SoS Technical Field Tests in preparation for the independent Government Operational Testing. This crawl, walk run sequence of test events affords us a risk management based approach to testing instead of the more traditional and expensive “testing in of performance”.

Emplacing U-UGS
SUGV on Point
POC: Charlie Williams/Mark Locklear
Key Points:
Training for P-LUT began back in in November and December of last year followed by a TFT early in 08 and then an FDT&E with collective training and wound up before the end of July with the Pre LUT.
It was an intense 9 month process in the field to get that far and the many members of the team that saw it through to the end received the program’s thanks for a job well done.
Team received a recognition citation:
As a member of the Spin Out 1 team, your efforts at Ft. Bliss, Texas and White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico were key in ensuring a successful Preliminary Limited User Test . You worked tirelessly and in sometimes harsh conditions at all hours to ensure a successful Future Combat Systems program event. It is not an overstatement to say that the Preliminary Limited User Test would not have been a success without your hard work and competence . Your teamwork and dedication to mission is very much appreciated.

Last Update:
- BCS B2E (SO1) - 2nd Qtr 09
- BCS B2E (Future Force) - 2nd/3rd Qtr 09 boundary
- BCS B2F (Engineering Release 1) - 2nd Qtr 10

- SoSCOE nd Qtr 09
- SoSCOE nd/3rd Qtr 10 boundary
- WMIS st Qtr 10
So, what's happening between Build 2 Early and Build 2 Final is that with B2F software, that software will be used to directly facilitate Platform IQTs (MGV, UGV, UAV variants).  So, rather than producing one final qualified version of SW, the SDSI labs (NSIT) will be qualifying BCS SW on the relevant hardware for each platform IQT.  So, if you want a date for qualified B2F SW for the SUGV IQT I can give you those sorts of dates.  Those are probably too low a level, so I just gave you the engineering releases.  However, the engineering releases aren't formally qualified.  Let me know if you'd like to go in the qualified on platform hardware dates instead, or if you'd just like to have those in your back pocket, and I can get them to you.
