The primary goal of logistics within Test and Evaluation (T&E) is to confirm that the logistic support and technology can meet the necessary objectives for wartime employment, knowing that the correct improvements have been made as test results become available for the system throughout the acquisition process. Within the logistics T&E is the same Development Test and Evaluation (DT&E) and Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) that start with testing a prototype and progress through the development and production phases. This is where it compares with the acquisition T&E in that it is involved in the development, production, and operating capabilities. Overall the T&E is part of what is known as the Systems Engineering Process (SEP) which determines the level of performance of a system and identifies what corrections are needed to be made. Early on in the logistics side of things, the logistics manager is helped by the Logistics Support Integrated Product Team (IPT) who coordinate the actions such as testing and training. This manager must keep the Project Manager (PM) informed of the status of the project in the event they will not meet a deadline or there is a design issue during the T&E process. The PM is then responsible to ensure these issues are handled are annotated in the Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) There are requirements in place known as Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) which ensure the acquisition system is capable of being used at any time and can operate as it should within the logistics concepts and policies.

Hello, class,
Logistics
within T&E refers to organizing and scheduling resources for all the
processes taking place during T&E. The relationship of logistic T&E
with acquisition T&E begins when the capability assessments for mission
needs is conducted, given the way for the development of the Initial
Capabilities Document (ICD). Logistics is an essential part of the acquisition
cycle, giving support in many aspects along the process. While developing the
T&E master plan, the logistics aspect has to be planned, considering the
objectives for T&E. To be able to help the logistics effort, the logistics
support system T&E assist with the verification of the system being
developed. Also, There should be in place a logistics program ready for the
utilization of information during OT&E.
Logistics in T&E include the coordination and preparation of test funds
from program and budget and also take part in the process of getting personnel
ready to operate the prototypes. The Logistics Support Integrity Product Team
(IPT) gives support to the logistics manager while the Program Manager used
TEMP to access information that supports information in test resources that
have been included in the budget and are available for testing. When planning a
logistics support system T&E, many elements go hand by hand with processes
happening in the acquisition cycle. For example, the planning for OT&E has
to coordinate with logistics support elements. Logistics support testing should
be included in DT&E/OT&E planning. Also, the identification of
resources and logistics support items for the DT/OT. The Defense Logistics
Agency (DLA) Offers many services like environmental and sustainable programs,
equipment disposition, materials, and services, managing the supply chain which
also benefits the T&E part of the acquisition cycle providing support for
the performance of test like transportation or supplies needed during testing
among others.
