To plan, conduct, and report on assigned mission-based operational tests, assessments and experiments of intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), electronic warfare (EW), counter improvised explosive device (CIED), and biometric systems in order to provide essential information for the acquisition and fielding of systems in support of the US Army, Joint Service, and National Agency customers.  IEWTD also provides threat and ISR modeling, simulation, and instrumentation (MS&I) support for internal and external test events.

Who We Are

  The Army's independent operational test directorate for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), electronic warfare (EW), counter improvised explosive device (CIED), and biometric (BM) systems.

  The Intelligence Systems Integration Laboratory (ISIL)--a state-of-the-art facility that for the conduct of operational tests, experiments, demonstrations, training, and other distributed activities in a collaborative secure environment.

  An organizational structure task organized and resourced to plan and conduct independent mission-based operational tests of ISR, EW, CIED, and BM systems and their associated ground and airborne platforms, network environments, and intelligence processing systems.

What We Do

  Provide robust live, virtual, and constructive synthetic operational test environments employing validated threat models and simulations under realistic battlefield conditions to test present and future systems.

  Conduct operational assessments at worldwide locations to support rapid acquisition initiatives, the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO), and the Warfighter's urgent needs.

  Develop validated intelligence and threat modeling and simulation tools.

  Provide fully instrumented threat systems, dynamic realistic operational scenarios and automated data extraction tools to measure system performance under test conditions.

  Test the performance, effectiveness, suitability, and survivability of systems under mission-type scenarios.
