STI-1
1st version
Dec 2008
FST
Major change integrated in the contract in 2007: Block Upgrade 1 (BU1) (mainly in CAOC functionalities changes)
ACCS BU1 was successfully tested in factory in September 2011 and in live environment System Test I-2 at STVF completed in March 2013 (with test under simulated peak load conditions)
Following test performed & completed in 2 Validation Nations (BE, GE) and on-going in the two remaining ones (FR & IT)

STIII
Apr 2014
1st version was successfully tested in Factory (Factory System Test) in 2008 and in live environment [System Test I-1 (STI-1) at System Test and Validation Facility (STVF) located in the NPC] in 2009.
Final tests performed in multi-site configuration: System Test III
Up to Provisional Software Acceptance forecasted mid 2014

FCSE
1st IOT&E STI-1 in 2009 revealed shortfalls => improvements in Air Mission Control, workflow & HMI grouped in a Spiral 1 enhancement.
Spiral 1 awarded in October 2011 successfully tested in factory in Jul 2013 will be merged with BU1 for final test STIII up-front PSWA
BU1
In Service Support
Work under preparation to introduce JTS interface and JCHAT capability towards ACCS IOC
Potentially Shortfalls from future IOT&Es (STI-2, STII & STIII) might also lead to additional Spirals
Spiral 2
1. Operational requirements evolve:
Operational needs regularly expressed by SHAPE (roadmap towards ACCS IOC) like JTS interface, JCHAT capability
Initial Operational Tests & Evaluations (IOT&E) after each live environment System Tests on site bring potential new requests

Technical evolutions
2. Meanwhile technology is also evolving
Communication means: from point to point connectivity to networked connectivity (significant communications expenses savings) => NATO General Segment System (NGCS) NATO secure communication network contracted mid 2012.
Communication standard protocol: commercial world evolving towards so-called Everything over the Internet => contracted mid 2012.
Radar Network connection (RADNET) contracted by mid 2012.
Those technical evolutions will be integrated within the appropriate timeline (before PSWA or during In Service Support through replication contract activities).

6. ACCS LOC1 Test Process Test &Evaluation DT&E IOT&E
Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E)
IOT&E evaluates that the system is operationally effective and suitable
IOT&E is conducted by AirC2PO&S with Contractor support
Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E)
DT&E verifies that the system performs as required in its intended environment
DT&E is conducted by ACSI and its Subcontractors / Partners
