Description

AIR FORCE OPERATIONAL TEST & EVALUATION CENTER -AFOTEC-
-Kirtland AFB-
ORIGINAL AIR FORCE PATCH on VEL
The Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center, located at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, is a direct reporting unit under U.S. Air Force Headquarters, the Pentagon, Arlington, Virginia. It is the Air Force's independent test agency responsible for testing, under operationally realistic conditions, new systems being developed for Air Force and multi-service use.
Vision
Leader of the Test Enterprise – Accelerating Change.
Mission
Inform the Warfighter and Acquisition through operational testing.
Personnel and Organization
AFOTEC employs more than 670 military and civilian personnel at its headquarters and four detachments located at Edwards Air Force Base, California; Eglin AFB, Florida; Hill AFB, Utah; Nellis AFB, Nevada, and multiple operating locations around the country.
Test teams conduct tests at selected sites; collect, analyze and evaluate the data; and prepare formal reports. The teams are managed by AFOTEC and include personnel from the operating and supporting commands who will eventually employ these systems.
Operational Testing
AFOTEC’s independent and objective evaluations of how well systems will meet operational requirements provide a vital link between the developer and user. They are key elements of the system acquisition approval process.
Operational tests are designed to address critical issues regarding a system’s performance in combat-like environments when operated by field personnel. They seek to answer questions about how safe, effective, reliable, maintainable, compatible and logistically supportable new Air Force systems will be.
The results of AFOTEC’s tests, normally conducted on prototype and pre-production models, play an important role in Air Force and Department of Defense acquisition decisions. Test results also identify deficiencies requiring corrective action.
