Series Description: In 2022 the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E), Office of the Secretary of Defense, published a Strategy Update, which he referred to multiple times in his Annual Report to Congress, describing 5 pillars that will "transform T&E and enable delivery of the world’s most advanced warfighting capabilities at the speed of need."

Join us as Dr. Sandra Hobson, Deputy Director, Office of the DOT&E, and her colleagues present this 6-webinar mini-series, providing an overview of the overall Strategy Update followed by a closer look at the individual strategic pillars.

Event Description: While U.S. forces remain dominant, no warfighting domain is uncontested. Improving survivability in these environments is an ever-changing area of our practice that is paramount to the Nation. Cyber, electromagnetic spectrum (EMS), and space threats are examples of tremendous current challenges to warfighting forces. In the near term, the T&E ecosystem must improve and expand its means of testing cyber and EMS survivability in mission scenarios, and replicating the space environment and space threats, both kinetic and non-kinetic. The acquisition community must dedicate more programmatic time and resources to assessing performance in contested environments.
