Capability Development:
Operational Test and Evaluation

Overview

Military weapon systems are usually designed to perform in the scenarios approved by authorities. Developmental testing to determine if all the components perform as designed is necessary but insufficient. The most important component of a weapon system, the enemy, is not there. The traditional way in taking enemy actions into consideration is war gaming and red teaming. Computer simulation is used to determine the outcomes. Complex simulation models require parameters on the behaviours of our own forces and enemy forces. These models are not very useful if human elements are not considered. The solution to the difficulty of having a real enemy is solved by the United States Air Force in Red Flag exercises. The United States Navy has Top Gun to provide battlefield inoculation to their fighter pilots. The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) faces immense challenges in realistic training exercises. Training overseas is the solution. With the rapid advances in technologies and Concept of Operations (CONOPS), Operational Tests & Evaluation (OT&E) in Singapore is necessary. The results can then be incorporated into operational plans followed by the development of training plans and subsequent trainings.
