Use the TEMP to define specific requirements. DO NOT refer to the various requirements documents eg Analysis of Alternatives, Initial Capabilities Document, Capabilities Development Document when completing this lesson.
You are designing a developmental test to verify that the SRAW safearm device SAD arms the SRAW in compliance with both the Minimum Arming Distance Critical Technical Parameter CTP and the Threshold Engagement Envelope Key Performance Parameter KPP identified in the SRAW TEMP. While the impact of the Minimum Arming Distance CTP on SRAW arming should be selfevident, the Threshold Engagement Envelope KPP dictates that SRAW arming must occur before the SRAW missile enters the front of the engagement envelope. Furthermore, the test should confirm that the SAD performs at a reliability level consistent with the Reliability Key System Attribute KSA also identified in the TEMP. The SRAW TEMP also provides additional background information and can be found via the hotlink above or under the TST Resources" page in the "Tools and Resources" link on the left side of the TST course navigation overview screen.
Note that this developmental test is limited in scope, addressing only SRAW arming. Except for Question items beyond the scope of this test eg items tested during operational testIOT&E SHOULD NOT be considered.
The test is to be a systemlevel developmental test that will consist of a number of openair SRAW missile launches to occur at the China Lake range.
The following assumptions and historical information should inform test design:
SAD design is stable and is based on the design of devices already used in similar weapon systems. Additionally, subcomponent and component lab testing and extensive modeling and simulation efforts have all been accomplished with very positive results.
Instrumentation and telemetry kits that monitor and transmit activity from the SAD and all other SRAW subsystems are available for installation on SRAW test missiles. These kits are compatible with the data collection capabilities at China Lake and can be used with either inert or live warheads.
The Technical Evaluation DT II Systems identified in the TEMP are the test assets that should be used for this test. These systems can be configured to include either a live explosive warhead or an inertnonexplosive warhead that replicates the weight and balance of the live warhead. The warhead type does not affect SRAW flight performance.
To simplify planning, assume a binomial distribution and use the nomograph when answering Questions and See Lesson pages for a refresher.
Answer the questions in each area below using short sentence responses:
Question Will targets be used and if so where will they be positioned in terms of discrete individual distances from the shooter egmmm and m Do NOT provide a range of distances eg "spanning the operational envelope" or "anywhere from m m
Question In confirming that the SAD arms the SRAW in compliance with both the CTP and KPP requirements, what are acceptable SRAW arming distances or range of distances in terms of distance from the shooter? In other words, when should SRAW arming occur? The arming distance refers to the distance from the shooter to the SRAW missile when the transition from SAFE to ARM occurs.
Question In terms of test data, what specific pieces of data should this test measure or determine during each individual trial and what specific tools will enable data collection? An example of a piece of data would be the SRAW's airspeed when arming occurs.
Question Will targets be used and if so where will they be positioned in terms of discrete individual distances from the shooter egmmm and m Do NOT provide a range of distances eg "spanning the operational envelope" or "anywhere from m m
Question If used, how would you describe the targets in general terms eg moving tanks with reactive armor, stationary tank hulks, or stationary shapes made of some other material
Question For this limited developmental test, will live explosive or inert nonexplosive warheads be used and why? Select only one of these two options.
Question In terms of the SAD meeting requirements, what constitutes success for an individual trial? Make sure to include physical distances in the answer.
Question What results if any might disqualify an individual trial from being a test countereg does an individual trial count if the SRAW fails to launch
Question What are the differences if any between the SRAW missiles that will be used for this test and those that will be deployed for combat?
Question In determining how many trials to conduct, what reliability level will be used and why? Select only one value here.
