Course 7. Design of Tests for Transitioning DE Weapon Systems to Acquisition Programs for Warfighter Fielding
Classification: Unclassified, Limited Distribution D
Instructors:
- Robert Newton, USAF, Retired
- Dan A. Isbell, USAF, Retired
Duration:Half-day course, runs 1300-1700
CEUs awarded: 0.35
Course Description:Test & Evaluation (T&E) of Directed Energy (DE) Systems is nothing new; however, the purpose of testing is changing.
DE's many decades of research focused testing is now transitioning to support programs of record that lead to fielded DE weapons systems. This
course is designed as an entry level short course where the instructors will briefly review the T&E processes and highlight applicable DoD guidance.
Since Directed Energy (DE) is a technology very different from the kinetic weapons that form the basis of DoD written guidance, the instructors will
apply the core T&E principles to DE weapon system development. This will include familiarization about methodologies along with unique test range
resources that are required for DE weapons T&E.
There are differences in DE T&E phases. For instance, laboratory Research and Development (R&D) T&E has a science and engineering focus. In contrast,
DE T&E for defense acquisition of fieldable DE weapons for warfighters has a more combat operational focus. The course will highlight the distinct
differences between these types of DE T&E to include the spectrum of R&D T&E, Developmental T&E (DT&E) and Operational T&E (OT&E).
The phases of DT&E and OT&E for DE weapon systems are the types of testing that lead to fielding a DE weapon system after it has been proven to
meet technical system performance requirements, military utility, and operational suitability requirements. These combat-relevant areas of T&E also
include Logistics T&E (LT&E), which are focused on validated reliability, maintainability, sustainability and other specific logistics requirements
that help to determine DE weapon system mission availability in a realistic combat environment.
The course will emphasize the need to consider integrated mission-level T&E for DE weapons, since the cost (in time and resources) is very high
if done in a sequential DT&E followed by OT&E, followed by LT&E (as was historically done for other types of systems). Live fire testing of DE weapon
systems is costly, and the resources are precious and few in terms of full-scale DE weapon systems test ranges and instrumentation. Careful design
of test principles can result in much more effective and efficient DE weapons T&E by integrating all the elements of DT&E, OT&E, and LT&E to the
maximum extent possible.
Intended Audience:To understand the material in this course, the attendee should have already completed DE 101, or have prior
familiarization with DE weapon systems.
Instructor Biographies: Robert (Bob) Newton is an advanced systems developer with nearly 20-year DE experience. Currently he leads a defense
technology company in applying his over 35 years of US Air Force and commercial industry experience. Beginning with a technical education in Aerospace
Engineering from The Ohio State University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, his mission perspective comes from F-16 fighter and special
operations. He is an acquisition professional and test pilot with over 4500 hours in over 60 types of aircraft. His specific acquisition related
responsibilities involved F-16 performance / flying qualities / avionics / sensors / weapons flight test and airworthiness certification, F-22
program management, Air Force Material Command headquarters, Pentagon Air Staff, and industry. He has commanded flying units and is a veteran
of Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM.
Dan Isbell brings a broad range of expertise and experience to the defense and technology industry with his 27 years of service in the US Air Force.
His insight comes from an educational background that includes a Master's degree in National Resource Strategy from the National Defense University, a
Master's degree in Human Resource Management from Troy State University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Institute
of Technology. During his Air Force career he also completed flight school, test pilot school, Senior Acquisition Manager's course, Industrial College
of the Armed Forces and the professional military service schools.

Course 9. HPM M&S Tools for T&E
Classification: Unclassified, Limited Distribution D
Instructors: Walter Clover, Verus Research
Day/Time: Half-day course, runs 1300-1700
CEUs awarded: 0.35
Course Description: The Directed Energy Test & Evaluation Capability (DETEC) has developed two software
tools to facilitate High Power Microwave (HPM) testing: HPM Test Hazard Prediction (THP) Tool and the HPM Target
Surrogate Material (TSM) database. This short course presents an introduction to both.
Drawing from propagation codes such as RF-PROTEC and the EMPIRE Suite, THP provides the T&E community with critical
tools and information to mitigate safety and hazard risks to personnel and electronics during open-air tests of HPM
systems. THP's essential functions include:
- Support safety and regulatory compliance by calculating and displaying hazard boundaries
- Prepare frequency clearance applications in Standard Frequency Action Format (SFAF)
- Aid in identifying potential harmful effects to non-test site electronics
- Display specific locations or boundaries with specified field levels
In this portion of the short course, students will see the code in action while instructors discuss: Modeling the
Physical Scene, Specifying Scenario Input Parameters, Understanding & Selecting Propagation Models, Graphical
Visualization and Output Products, Hazard Thresholds and Hazard Zones, Standard Frequency Action Format, Basic Weather
and Atmosphere Models, transferring environmental data to THP, Loading and Using HPM Electric Field Sensor Data in THP.
The TSM database is a browser based repository of information on hazardous materials as well as surrogates that can be
substituted for these hazardous materials during HPM testing. The purpose of the tool is to provide the HPM T&E
community with access to a database that contains information on hazardous materials, how to handle those materials
during test, and commonly available materials that can be substituted for the hazardous materials. The TSM database's
essential functions are to:
- Access to the electromagnetic properties of hazardous materials
- Suggestions for safe substitutes for those materials, to include electromagnetic properties
- Test Range unique restrictions on hazardous materials
- Hazardous material handling instructions, including cleanup procedures
In this portion of the short course, students will see TSM in action while instructors discuss: Finding the
electromagnetic properties of a hazardous material; Finding a surrogate for the hazardous material; Making plots of
material properties as a function of temperature and frequency; Entering new materials into the database; Extracting
the original sources of the electromagnetic data.
DEMER: The Directed Energy Models and Effects Repository's (DEMER) was created to aid and encourage the distribution of and collaboration on directed energy (DE) modeling and simulation (M&S) tools and effects data throughout the wider DE community.
An appropriate collaborative environment was established to provide for community wide discovery of DE tools and effects data which balances security with utility. The distribution format ensures owners and creators the freedom of development for, and
confidence in the ownership of, their products. To reach this end, DEMER's overarching philosophy will be 'Local Management, Enterprise Discovery.' DEMER is a secure web-based card catalog of meta-data files describing the current M&S capabilities and
effects testing efforts. Using a meta-data format favors autonomy for resource owners by only describing pertinent details of their products, without surrendering control to a centralized database. The repository also provides the capability for members and agencies to catalog and organize their M&S and effects testing products internally, only sharing with the wider community those products they deem appropriate. In this portion of the short course, students will be given a walk-through tutorial on how
to register and use the DEMER database.
HPM PULSE: The High Power Microwave Procedures Leading to Standardized Effects (HPM PULSE) is a guidebook designed to
standardize HPM effects testing and is meant to be used by both experienced and novice effects test personnel. It provides
best practices and useful information on common aspects of HPM effects testing. The information included in HPM PULSE will aid
personnel with test design and setup, as well as provide various quick reference charts, formulas, and other background
information for use during the test execution. During this portion of the short course, students will receive an overview of the
HPM PULSE guidebook to better understand how it can be used to aid in conducting HPM effects tests.
Intended Audience: The intended users of these HPM tools are test planners, spectrum managers, range safety personnel, test technicians or engineers, and environmental personnel involved in HPM testing.
Instructor Biography: Walter Clover is a Technical Director at Verus Research. Leading their Modeling and Simulation Architectures team, he creates simulation tools and dynamic graphical user interfaces with visualization of complex geometry and simulation output to support modeling, simulation, and analysis in electromagnetics, including high-power microwave (HPM) propagation, electronic effects, hazard mapping, and spectrum situational awareness. The focus of his work over the last two decades has been the development of the Joint Radio-frequency Effectiveness Model (JREM) and its integration into both the Directed Energy High Performance Computing Software Applications Institute (DE HSAI) software suite and into Endgame Framework (EF) for the Integrated Weapon Environment for Analysis (IWEA) program.
