This text represents a significant contribution to the available technical literature on military and commercial test and evaluation. Chapter One provides important history and addresses the vital relationship of quality test and evaluation (T&E) to the acquisition and operation of defence weapons systems. Subsequent chapters cover such concepts as cost and operational effectiveness analysis, modeling and simulation, and verification, validation and accreditation, among others. In the closing chapters, new and unique concepts for the future are discussed.
