The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description
Mission — Army Technical Test Instrumentation and Targets
This funding line supports test and evaluation (T&E) of Army Transformation Initiative Priority Programs. This Program Element (PE) provides critical investments for development of: new test methodologies and standards; advanced test technology concepts; future T&E; advanced modeling, simulation and instrumentation prototypes; and full-scale development of T&E capabilities for the United States (U.S) Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC), which includes the Operational Test Command (OTC) at Ft Hood, Texas; Army Evaluation Center (AEC) and Aberdeen Test Center (ATC), Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland; White Sands Test Center (WSTC) at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico; Electronic Proving Ground (EPG), Fort Huachuca, Arizona; Yuma Test Center (YTC) at Yuma Proving Grounds (YPG), Arizona (including the Arctic Regions Test Center (ARTC), Fort Greely, Alaska and the Tropics Regions Test Center (TRTC), at various locations); and Redstone Test Center (RTC), Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. OTC consists of four forward Test Directorates (Airborne and Special Operations Test Directorate, Fort Liberty, North Carolina; Air and Missile Defense Test Directorate, Fort Bliss, Texas; Fires Test Directorate, Fort Sill, Oklahoma; and the Intelligence Electronic Warfare Test Directorate, Fort Huachuca, Arizona) together with four other Test Directorates (Aviation; Maneuver; Mission Command; Maneuver Support and Sustainment) at Ft Cavazos, Texas. These T&E capabilities are required to support T&E requirements of Army signature transformation efforts to support development of Multi-Domain Operations (MDO)-capable Forces. These activities enable readiness and support the development and fielding cycle of all Army acquisition programs including rapid fielding initiatives and programs of record. This funding modernizes existing T&E capabilities at all locations by refreshing unreliable, uneconomical, obsolete, and irreparable instrumentation, as well as incremental upgrades of hardware and software for modeling, simulation, and instrumentation systems to assure adequate test data collection capabilities. This data supports acquisition milestone decisions for all test mission areas throughout the Army including programs such as the 105-mm Mobile Howitzer, 30mm/40mm ammunition, Active Protection System (APS), AH-64 Block III, APR-39C(V)1 Radar, Army Integrated Air-Missile Defense (AIAMD), Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS), Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), CH-47F Chinook, Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE), Command Post Mobility/Survivability (CPI2), Common Infrared Counter Measures (CIRCM), Counter Small Unmanned Aerial System (c-SUAS), Counter Rocket Artillery Mortar (C-RAM), Dismounted Assured PNT System (DAPS), Distributed Common Ground System - Army (DCGS-A), Capability Drop 2, , Enhanced Night Vision Goggle- Binocular (ENVG-B), Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV), Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS), Human Machine Integrated Formations (HMI-F), Integrated Fires Protection Capability (IFPC), Integrated Tactical Network (ITN), Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS), Javelin, Joint Air-to- Ground Missile (JAGM) for US Navy, Launch Effects (LE), Leader Radio, M109A7 Paladin/M992A3, M1A2 Abrams, M1E3 Abrams Modernization, M-2/3 Bradley Expedited Active Protection System (ExAPS), M-2/3 Bradley Fist, M776 Chrome Tube, Maneuver Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) also known as SGT STOUT, ManPack (MP), Mounted Assured PNT System (MAPS), Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW), Patriot 3 (PAC-3), Precision Guidance Kit (PGK), Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), Shadow Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (TUAS), Stinger Shelf life Extension Program (SLEP), Stryker, Systems for All Domain Sensing (ADS), Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN), Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), UH-60M Black Hawk, XM113, and XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle (MICV). Also supports Army Signature Transformation efforts to include Project Convergence and PNT Assessment Exercise (PNTAX). The FY 2026 request was reduced by $4 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative." The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.381 million for civilian personnel to optimize the workforce in compliance with Executive Order 14210, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative."
Mission — Technical Test Instrumentation & Targets
This Project provides critical investments for development of new test methodologies and standards; advanced test technology concepts; future test capabilities; advanced development of modeling, simulation, and instrumentation prototypes; advanced instrumentation prototypes; and the full-scale development of T&E capabilities for the United States (U.S) Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC). ATEC employs modeling, simulation, and instrumentation to provide a realistic multi-domain operational (MDO) test environment with modern threat effects, conduct test monitoring and control, and perform data analysis to enable essential transformation and support the Joint Force through development of MDO-capable forces. ATEC investments include organically developed capabilities as well as adaptation of T&E capabilities developed by others (e.g., government, academia) or commercial-off-the-shelf products. These T&E capabilities are located at, and managed by, ATEC T&E activities (excluding West Desert Test Center) and employed at ATEC ranges and other designated test locations across the country. Maintaining and modernizing ATEC T&E capabilities is critical to enable signature transformation efforts readiness and support the development and fielding cycle of all Army acquisition programs including rapid fielding initiatives and programs of record.
