BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:-//SURVIAC/Events Calendar//NONSGML v1.0//EN BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Building Survivable Systems: A Short Course on Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E) DESCRIPTION:Taught by a seasoned professional with up-to-date knowledge, this three-day intensive course consists of a multi-faceted look at the legislation, directives, requirements, preparation, and execution of Live Fire Testing, a statutory requirement for most major defense acquisition programs since 1987. Discussions cover the history of LFT&E legislation, the Joint Live Fire Program, LFT&E candidacy, and preparation of Live Fire Test Plans and Detailed Test Plans in the context of the Test and Evaluation Master Plans. Also covered is the role of modeling and simulation in LFT&E, including pretest predictions and test assessment. Congressional and DoD reporting requirements and the role of the LFT&E waiver from full-up system-level testing (including its purpose, implementation, and historical precedents) are discussed, as is the role of Battle Damage and Repair in LFT&E, test article realism, and LFT&E test facilities. Air, Land and Sea system vulnerability and lethality will be addressed and an 800 page book of Live Fire Lessons Learned will be provided as part of the course.\nURL: http://www.survice.com/news.html\nPOC Phone: (443) 528-2711\n LOCATION:Belcamp, MD; SURVICE Engineering's Aberdeen Area Operation DTSTART:20081007 DTEND:20081010 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
