CACI's approach to test and evaluation is through application of a thorough knowledge of programmatic and technical characteristics of the systems to be tested, knowledge of interface hardware and software, the applicable message standards and an appreciation of the operational environments within which the C4I systems will be deployed.

Recent combat operations involving naval, joint and allied forces has re-emphasized the need for continued efforts to achieve and maintain certified interoperability and systems integration of C4I systems. We know the readiness of C4I systems for combat depends on the quality and thoroughness of system and interoperability testing.

CACI personnel bring an unusually broad perspective to testing and evaluation, as well as continuous involvement in developing and using test plans, procedures, data sets and support systems for more than 20 years.

CACI's test and evaluation services include

• TADIL Developmental T&E and Certification
  CACI's TADIL Certification team blends in-theater Combat System expertise and extensive knowledge of TADIL specifications to provide comprehensive methods for TADIL Certification preparation activities.
• Interoperability Analysis and Assessments
  Early, accurate and comprehensive assessments are critical elements in fielding interoperable systems. The majority of the system data required to perform accurate Interoperability Analysis and Assessments is undocumented - the knowledge rests only within experts. CACI's extensive knowledge base gained from systems engineering, in-theater T&E and TADIL standards engineering affords a unique ability to assimilate system behaviors into a composite Interoperability assessment.
• Test Support Tools
  We are experts in using a number of testing tools across a wide range of engagements. This includes the Windows-based analyze and validate tools and the CACI developed SGSS tool for ACDS Combat System Simulation and Test Development to support the development of ACDS Block 1 test procedures.

We also offer

• Weapons/Combat System and Battle Group Integration
  This solution uses embedded tactical computer programs to perform surveillance and tracking, computer intelligence and weapons system testing, data reduction and generation of software trouble reports. We perform shipboard and land-based testing so clients can successfully demonstrate their developmental systems for acceptance.
• Combat System Ship Qualification Trials
  This methodology provides a tool for our clients to perform real time testing of in service shipboard systems. By demonstrating successful performance prior to installation clients avoid costly ordnance alteration (ORDALT) costs and time delays.
• Field Test and Support
  We use the latest test tools and support software to allow data extraction, data filtering, data collection and data analysis and data display. Field testing enables our clients to analyze their proposed solutions in a real life environment.
