1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
This document is the Integrated Test, Evaluation & Acceptance Plan (ITEAP) and
Acceptance Specification for Target Locator Equipment (TLE) procurement
programme.
The ITEAP is a “living” document describing the process by which the end users
and technical teams will carry out all stages of test and acceptance of software and
hardware.
The ITEAP covers the full extent of the Validation & Verification
requirements that will be addressed during the TLE procurement programme.
1.2 ITEA Objectives
The ITEAP has a number of specific objectives:

Primarily, it will detail how the cumulative evidence is obtained to
demonstrate the achievement of user and system requirements. The overall
ITEA activity will ensure that the TLE acceptance, verification and validation
activities will provide satisfactory demonstration of the TLE for MoD
acceptance purposes.

It will also considers the Test and Evaluation (T&E) aspects required to
inform the acceptance process, build confidence and evaluate the
integration of the Defence Lines of Development (DLoD’s).
As T&E activities can be expensive, duplication of testing and where possible the
sharing of test data amongst all acceptance stakeholders can result in significant
cost savings. The ITEAP will provide the basis for managing and developing an
acceptance audit trail from evidence gathered through T&E back to the original
capability gap and user requirement in a cost effective manner.
In order to
facilitate this, the ITEAP will act as the communication tool to co-ordinate T&E
activities across the wider project team.
1.3 Supervision and Control of the ITEA Plan
This ITEAP is owned and managed by the Dismounted Soldier Systems (DSS)
Delivery Team (DT) and represents a key document for integrating the activities of
the DT, end users, subject matter experts and suppliers.
The desk officer responsible for this document is the DSS Requirements Manager.
Any feedback on error or omissions should be forwarded to this post.

1.4 Key Project Milestones
The following are the Key Project Milestones within the TLE programme [1]:
Figure 1-1 TLE Procurement timeline
1.5 Requirements Documentation
This TEAP is related to the following documents:

TLE Concept of Employment (CONEMP);

TLE MODAF (Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework);

TLE Through Life Management Plan (TLMP);

TLE User Requirements Documents (URD);

TLE System Requirements Documents (SRD);
Key information from these documents will be summarised within the ITEAP to
provide a context for the ITEA focus and also to show how linkages are applied
between requirements and evidence, in order to provide assurance for capability
acceptance.
1.6 Change Forecast
In parallel with the development of this ITEAP, the Through Life Management Plan
(TLMP) TEAP for the TLE capability is being developed.
The Through Life Management Plan will bring together all the plans required for
through life management of TLE. The ITEA, Acceptance Strategy, DLoD Road
map, are also key aspects of TLMP.
Any changes to this ITEAP resulting from the TLMP will supersede this edition.

2 MILITARY CAPABILITY
2.1 Military Capability Requirements for TLE
The starting point for the programme is a Single Statement of User Needs (SSUN)
that reflects the bounded operational capability.
A proposed TLE SSUN is: XXX
The TLE procurement comprises a replacement for the in-service, but now
obsolete, LH40C Eyesafe Laser Rangefinder, at an estimated quantity of XXX
2.2 Operational Context
A simplified view of the delivered, operational system that is shown in Figure 2-1
[2]
Figure 2-1 TLE Operational Context
A critical assumption for the ITEAP activities is that the capability boundary
remains relatively stable throughout its life-cycle. If there are significant changes to
the scope of the programme then it may be difficult to track the maturation of the
system in a sufficiently coherent manner to support effective management
decisions.

4 INFLUENCING STRATEGIES
4.1 Acceptance Strategy
The Acceptance Strategy shows, in outline, how the DSS DT proposes to achieve
the progressive acceptance of the required military capability to the satisfaction of
Cap (GM). Cap (GM) is the Acceptance Authority for the TLE and as such is
responsible for confirming that the requirements have been satisfied and for
authorising the formal delivery of the required TLE military capability to the Infantry.
The high level process for Acceptance is defined in the Acquisition Operating
Framework (AOF).
The objectives of the TLE Acceptance Strategy may be summarised as:

Ensuring that there is a unified capability-based approach to TLE
acceptance decision-making shared by all the project stakeholders;

Ensuring that there is a single, shared understanding of the current status of
the TLE programme and the requirements and through-life capability
development plans that underpin it in order to enable coherent decisionmaking by the key stakeholders, the DSS DT and the user community.
The TLE Acceptance Strategy will be supported through the adoption of
Progressive Acceptance practices. This approach supports the early identification,
and hence mitigation, of risks and allows the project stakeholders to gain earlier
and greater confidence in the ability of the proposed system to meet the stated
requirements.
The acceptance of the TLE military capability will therefore be based on the
progressive accumulation of evidence to form a reasoned, auditable acceptance
case to support a decision on whether the system satisfies the Technical Solution,
URD and SRD as illustrated below in Figure 4-1. This process will record both
success and failure along with the rationale for any additional required activities
with the associated success criteria.
TLE
Integrated Draft Test & Evaluation Plan (Concept
Phase TEAP)
Figure 4-1 System Engineering ‘V’ Diagram
4.2 Acceptance Events for the TLE Programme
It is envisaged that the two principal Acceptance Events, identified in the AOF as
System Acceptance and In-Service Date, will form the basis of TLE acceptance.
System Acceptance: Agreement by the DSS DT that the candidate system has
satisfied the terms of the contract. This is achieved by verifying and declaring
contractual conformance with each SRD requirement at all levels, including
functional performance, design and physical characteristics.
Before System Acceptance can take place, the DSS DT will have to qualify and
certify the equipment; it has to be determined as fit for purpose. System
Acceptance will also need to take into account human factors, sustainability,
logistic support issues and that the equipment satisfies the user’s concept of
employment/use for the equipment.
In-Service Date (ISD): This is when the capability comprising all the DLoDs,
including the equipment, comes together to deliver required TLE military Capability
and the system is therefore assessed as available for operational use in its
minimum deployable form. As such, it is the date on which IOC is achieved.
4.3 Acceptance Criteria
Each Requirement contained within the SRD has an associated Acceptance
Criteria endorsed by Cap (GM). The Acceptance Criteria describe what the
equipment or functionality must achieve to fully satisfy the requirement.
The SRD highlights the agencies that will be responsible for showing that the
Acceptance Criteria are sufficient to demonstrate that system requirements have
been achieved so that, ultimately, System Acceptance can be determined. The
URD contains validation criteria against each user requirement, which explain how
achievement of the user requirement is to be validated.
TLE
Integrated Draft Test & Evaluation Plan (Concept
Phase TEAP)
The URD validation criteria are used to inform the development of detailed
acceptance criteria within the SRD, which are sufficiently comprehensive to provide
assurance that the capability requirements will be met under all operational
conditions.
The SRD in turn converts the URD validation criteria into a set of acceptance
(verification) criteria for the TLE System. The SRD is maintained by XXX on
behalf of the DSS DT, and has been reviewed and updated to reflect trade-off
decisions and system enhancements in response to changes in the URD before it
is frozen.
The SRD has been used by the test teams to generate a set of Test Plans
describing in detail what each of the tests must achieve in order to satisfy the SRD
acceptance criteria.
4.4 Procurement and Contract
Information on the procurement process and contractual issues will be inserted as
it becomes available.
4.5 Quality Assurance
The TLE programme will be managed in accordance with the agreed Quality Plan.
As the quality assurance plan matures, information relative to the planning and
execution of the test programme will be included within the ITEA Plan.
4.6 Risk Management
Risk management for the TLE programme embraces risks owned or managed by
the MoD.
Identified risks associated with the planning and execution of the test programme
will be included within the ITEA Plan.
4.7 Review, Quality and Audit
An outline applicable to ITEA (and reference to programme wide plans, procedures
and governance) should be expanded within the ITEA as the programme matures.
4.8 Learning from Experience
In later issues of ITEA, this sub section will provide an outline of how learning from
experience (internal and external) will be approached and appropriate lessons
learnt will be implemented in a structured manner.
4.9 Issues related to Evidential Gathering
During the tranche preparation phase, detail will be identified within the ITEA to
identify an overview of the major issues, risks and potential costs associated with
obtaining evidence in support of acceptance planning for each tranche of capability
solution.
Later the plans outlining how, from whom and when the evidence requirements will
be obtained, will be developed. The cost and responsibilities for providing the
TLE
Integrated Draft Test & Evaluation Plan (Concept
Phase TEAP)
facility or model and analysis lie will also be identified. The plans will reference the
appropriate part of the extended evidence base including the VVRM and
supporting justification.
4.10 Process for ITEA stakeholder management
During the life time of TLE, the stakeholder community will change. Whenever a
review of the ITEAP is taking place the current stakeholder list shall be review to
ensure its completeness and consistency.
When new stakeholders arise the following information shall be recorded in the
ITEAP and Stakeholder Responsibility Matrix within the TLMP.
TLE
Integrated Draft Test & Evaluation Plan (Concept
Phase TEAP)
5 PLANS & PROCESSES
5.1 Project ITEA Master Plan/Schedule
Information on the Project ITEA Master Plan/Schedule will be inserted here as it
becomes available.
5.2 ITEA Contracting/Tasking Plan
The tasking required will depend on the detailed testing required and facilities
available to the DSS DT. MoD facilities, such as EMC testing facilities, training
areas and ranges, may receive direct tasking from the DSS DT.
Contracting/Tasking will be conducted as detailed in the TLMP; further details will
be added as detailed testing plans are produced by the TLE stakeholder
community.
5.3 Project ITEA Documents Structure
The ITEA process results in three main physical manifestations:

Strategy Document: This is the ITEA Strategy Document. It provides an
overview of the ITEA Process as it will be applied to the TLE programme.

ITEA Database: The precise form of the ITEA database has yet to be
agreed.

Project ITEA Master Plan/Schedule: The ITEA Schedule is integral to the
TLE programme. The test opportunities are driven by the availability of the
associated testing facilities.
5.4 Process for Management of Remedial Action
Most remedial actions will be addressed by putting in place measures to generate
the requisite evidence. However, in some cases available evidence may fall short
of that envisaged.

Requirements Trade-off: Where evidence falls short of requirements,
concessions may be agreed with the relevant acceptance authority through
the auspices of the Tender Assessment Panel. Concessions are the means
of achieving acceptance by relaxation of the requirement (either
effectiveness envelope or measure of performance), and should only be
made in respect of tradable requirements, not Key Requirements and within
the Threshold and Objective bounds.

Dispute Resolution: Where an evidence provider believes the available
evidence provides sufficient proof that the respective capability has been
achieved, but other stakeholders contest this, the issue will be resolved
through the Tender Assessment Panel. This will be decided to the
satisfaction of the relevant acceptance authority, else Cap (GM) will be the
final arbiter on whether the evidence is acceptable or not.
TLE
Integrated Draft Test & Evaluation Plan (Concept
Phase TEAP)
5.5 Process for Management of Test Articles
Test articles required for the TLE will be subject to formal configuration control;
detailed test plans will describe any additional handling requirements for the test
articles such as physical and security packaging for transport to and storage at test
sites.
5.6 Process for Management of Test Facilities
Access to MoD test facilities will be co-ordinated through the DSS DT. It will be
essential to book the facilities required as early as possible after the requirement
for any additional T&E is confirmed by the DSS DT.
Note that where appropriate, existing plans for facility management may be
referenced.
Further information on the management of Test Facilities will be inserted here as it
becomes available.
5.7 Process for Management of Government Furnished Assets (GFA)
The term GFA includes Equipment (GFE), Facilities (GFF), Supplies (GFS) and
Information (GFI) that are required from the MoD by the Prime Contractor in order
to carry out development and production and all other aspects associated with the
TLE capability.
5.8 Process for Installation and Test
This section shall contain any descriptions necessary for the installations required
to test the NEC requirements of TLE with FIST C3I, FC BISA and Rosetta.
5.9 Qualification Tests
Based upon the major headings within the TLE SRD, the following paragraphs
contain brief descriptions of the qualification tests that will be conducted. Annex C
presents an overview of each test event and highlights any dependencies and
resources required.
Detailed test plans as they are developed for each testing event will be included
within an Annex in a later issue of this ITEAP.

7 EVALUATION OF SUCCESS
The ‘Acceptance Case’ for the TLE programme will be constructed around a
Verification and Validation Requirements Matrix (VVRM). The VVRM provides a
means of tracking the progressive acceptance of the TLE programme and allows
full traceability to the system requirements and hence the user requirements.
The VVRM will be held within DOORS with the following attributes, in accordance
with AOF guidance [4].

ANNEX A
MASTER DATA ASSUMPTIONS LIST (MDAL)
The acceptance test process will require funding to support the tests and
trials identified for Verification and Validation against the SRD and URD.
Additionally, resources will be required to analyse the acquired data for
compliance. This section will identify the minimum resources in terms of
facilities necessary to undertake the Test and Evaluation activities.
Included in this annex are a number of key ITEA Planning Assumptions
which the stakeholders need to be aware of during the procurement of the
TLE.
Note: this is a first pass and is subject to review by the relevant
stakeholders. Additional ITEA Planning Assumptions will be added as and
when they become apparent.
1) A critical assumption for the ITEAP activities is that the capability
boundary is established early in the programme and remains relatively
stable throughout its life-cycle.
2) The assumption has been made that DSS DT will be responsible for
accepting any modification to Training Equipment and Services. This
activity will be carried out with support of the TDL and Platform DTs.
3) DSS DT will be responsible for obtaining samples of each candidate
solution from downselcted manufactures.
4) DSS DT will be responsible for the provision of GFA and facilities for use
during their Test, Integration and Acceptance process.
5) DSS DT will be responsible for ensuring that the TLE procurement is
aligned and with the procurement programmes and technology
roadmaps of FIST C3I, FC BISA and Rosetta to ensure that inter-MOD
dependencies are managed appropriately.
6) DSS DT will be responsible for obtaining the necessary system
interfaces of FIST C3I, FC BISA and Rosetta needed to conduct
interoperability testing.
7) It is assumed that any requirement for remedial actions to address
deficiencies or faults with the TLE system will be addressed before
System Acceptance is formally declared.
