Abstract :
An integrated test methodology to evaluate command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) systems in a combat electromagnetic environment is presented. The methodology allows the US Army to test and field major C3I systems in less time, and with greater confidence in successful operation, than was previously possible. Modeling and simulation and controlled-environment laboratory testing are combined with focused field testing to achieve an accurate, cost-effective evaluation of the functionality of C3I systems in their intended combat environment
