Multifunctional information distribution system - TSM-TR

The Multifunctional Information-Distribution System Low-Volume Terminal 2 successfully completed its first-article qualification testing in December 2002; the Army accepted the first six LVT (2) production terminals. Four of these terminals were delivered to the Lower Tier Project Office to outfit the Patriot battle-command program at this time, which allowed the project manager for MIDS to achieve the initial-operational capability date as specified in the acquisition-program baseline.

Army Test and Evaluation Command briefed the deputy undersecretary of the Army for operations research and the Navy's PEO for tactical aircraft Jan. 8 on results of the MIDS LVT (2) system-evaluation report. The briefing was well received, and both parties agreed to support a full-rate production decision.

The Operational Test and Evaluation's director was briefed in January; upon favorable recommendation from DOT&E, PEO(T) plans to request that the FRP decision be delegated from the assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition to PEO(T).
