Summary The pervasiveness of cyber operations across all defense activities underscores the need to consider and plan for cyber-related developmental test and evaluation initiatives throughout the development life of acquisitions programs. However, the implications and processes associated with cyber developmental test and evaluation (DT&E) are less well known than traditional system test activities. This effort seeks to explore the implications of cyber DT&E with respect to Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Command, Control Communications, Computer, and Intelligence (C4I) systems. Central to this study will be a review of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Developmental Test and Evaluation [DASO (DT&E)] guidelines as they impact cyber considerations, particularly in the area of test capabilities and facilities. Results of prior cyber test initiatives will be used to baseline capabilities and identify requirements for cyber range and facility support for cyber DT&E activities.
