Joint Mission Environment Test Capability (JMETC), The solution for Air Force Distributed Test and Evaluation Infrastructure Requirements

摘要

Distributed Testing is the method of linking various Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) sites and capabilities together to conduct the test and evaluation (T&E) of a system or systems-of-systems in a distributed environment. This is normally done in lieu of a large-scale "open air" test using actual live operational hardware for all systems involved. Conducting distributed testing compliments live-only testing and provides the means for rapid integration of systems early in their developmental life cycle. It also provides an efficient means of adding realism to T&E by providing system representations not otherwise available, and/or enabling interrelated systems not otherwise available, in realistic numbers.
