Test & Evaluation Conference and Exhibition - T & E - Conferences, Workshops & Symposia

Sponsored by the DoD Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT & E), and the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), DoD's 6th Annual Test and Evaluation Conference and Exhibition will be held March 1-4, 2004, in Sparks, Nev. Twenty years have passed since the U.S. Congress put into law the requirement that an independent Operational Test and Evaluation Office be established within the Office of the Secretary of Defense for the purpose of assuring that realistic operational Test and Evaluation is conducted, and such testing is promptly and candidly reported to Congress prior to a system entering Full Rate Production. It's time to examine this very important and very visible part of the Defense Systems Acquisition establishment to see how successful it has been, what its benefits and liabilities have been, as well as other relevant issues.

DOT & E invites abstract submissions on topics that address current DOT & E issues. For a list of possible abstract topics, visit the NDIA Web site at http://register.ndia.org/interview/register.ndia?#March2004.
