JADS JT&E: Phase 3 and Phase 4 Verification and Validation Report for the End-to-End Test

摘要

This report details the results of executing the V&V requirements listed within the ETE Test Activity Plan Appendix C. Venfication and Validation Plan for the ETE Test and the Phase 3 Verification and Validation Plan for the End-to-End Test 1.2 Verification and Validation Tasks The V&V tasks performed on 23 Ferumary and 13 March 1999 during Phase 3 were conducted on the T3 aircraft parked on the ramp and are described in the Phase 3 Verification and Validation Plan for the End-to-End Test. During this V&V effort it was determined that the pefformance of the satellite link could not be determined exactly until Phase 4 and the live flights. Additionally, since the radar could not be operated on the ground, it was impossible to determine if the radar processor simulator and integrator (RPSI) interfered with the radar performance. This necessitated the extension of the V&V into Phase 4 and the live flights. It was also decided that during the Phase 4 live flights, the best way to ensure the RPSI and associated interfaces functioned properly was to perform an abbreviated version of the Phase 3 V&V. There were also two V&V tasks that were either not completed or were not resolved when the Phase 2 Verification and Validation Report for the End-To-End Test was published. The results of these tasks are included in Section 5.1. of this report. V&V Process Models Within this report reference is made to steps enumerated within the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) nine Step Process Model. This model is shown as Figure 1. The process model and its accompanying Recommended Practice for Distributed Interactive Simulation -- Venfication, Validation, and Accreditation (Draft-4 November 1996) form the basis for the verification, validation and accreditation (VV&A) of the ETE Test synthetic environment (SE).
