Abstract

We propose to apply principles from the Army Evaluation Center's Mission Based Test and Evaluation (MBT&E) to Unmanned and Autonomous Systems (UAS) Test and Evaluation (T&E) in order to conduct rigorous, real-world testing based on anticipated military missions. In order to understand MBT&E, we introduce and describe its parent, the Mission and Means Framework. Finally, we describe a vignette that incorporates autonomous systems in the context of a mission to illustrate these principles.
