The ITEA Journal of Test and Evaluation Themes for 2018-2020

摘要

For these systems, we must test and train as we intend to fight. Unmanned and autonomous vehicles fly reconnaissance, target detection, and combat sorties. They fly in combat and public airspaces. They travel on the ground, in the air and space, and on and under the water on a variety of missions. Unmanned and autonomous vehicles may be fully controlled by humans, semi-automated, or fully autonomous individually or in dissimilar teams. They have been demonstrated to operate in autonomous swarms. How have we conducted T&E of these systems in the past? Are there best practices or lessons learned? Are there any guidelines for how to test the behaviors in representative operational environments? How can we test these systems in degraded environments in order to determine operational robustness to combat conditions and to cyber and other degradations?
