3. MGT NDIA05 8/28/2015 3 HISTORYHISTORY 21 May 90: Deputy Commanding General for Research, Development, and Acquisition, HQ, AMC assigned Mission of Army Ground Targets development to MICOM Targets System Office. 31 Oct 90: Assigned Reliance Lead for Mobile Ground Targets. 18 Sep 92: Deputy Under Secretary of the Army (Operations Research) Released interim policy & procedures recognizing: -AMC as overall Asset Manager for Foreign Materiel. -PM ITTS designation by AMC as Management Agent for Ground Targets for Test and Evaluation. -Targets Management Office (TMO) selection by PM ITTS as Executing Agent for this mission.

4. MGT NDIA05 8/28/2015 4 PEOSTRI PM ITTS will: Serve as the Army’s single manager and the proponent for major tests Targets and represent the U.S. Army on joint Service programs. Plan, program, budget, defend and oversee the execution of major test Target funding Manage foreign test Targets required to support T&E BACKGROUNDBACKGROUND

5. MGT NDIA05 8/28/2015 5 MISSIONMISSION Centrally Manage and Execute: Mobile Ground Targets support for developmental and operational testing. Resource management and logistical support, including national inventory control point, for operations and maintenance of Mobile Ground Targets. Consolidation of ground target requirements for foreign assets, surrogate targets and available U.S. assets.

7. MGT NDIA05 8/28/2015 7 MOBILE GROUND TARGETS Original Definition: -Any vehicle or object (whether original or surrogate) designed, developed or acquired to represent a ground threat for weapon system testing or training. Targets Master Plan: -Any surrogate or original vehicle or object developed or acquired to represent a ground (land) target for weapon system testing or weapon system operator training. Also sometimes referred to as a Land Target. T-80 BMP3-S Plastic Target SMERCH

8. MGT NDIA05 8/28/2015 8 WHAT IS A SURROGATE? A surrogate as defined by TMO, is any target with less capability than an actual threat. These can be classified in three categories: All Surrogates Are Validated Using the U.S. Army Validation Process Highly Representative ($200K and above) i.e. SMERCH vehicles >Meets all realms of signature characteristics of threat > Emulates all or most of mobility/operational characteristics of threat Moderately Representative ($50K-$200K) i.e. BMP3-S >Meets two or more signature characteristics of threat >Emulates many of the mobility/operational characteristics of threat Representative ($10K-$50K) i.e. Plastic Targets, LCMs >Meets only select signature characteristics >Little or no mobility or operational capability of threat

9. MGT NDIA05 8/28/2015 9 T&E requires various levels of target performance:  Actual threat meets ALL requirements – highest cost  Surrogate threat – reduced fidelity-lower cost Some Examples of Threat & Surrogate Unit Costs: Actual Surrogate  T-80U $3M $15K - $500K  BMP-3 $2M $15K - $250K  SMERCH$1.5M$350K  ZSU 23/4 $2M$15K – $100K ACTUAL/ SURROGATE COST VS. PERFORMANCE A Mixture Of Actual Threat And Surrogate Vehicles Is Best Value To The T&E Community

10. MGT NDIA05 8/28/2015 10 SURROGATE BENEFITS TO CUSTOMERS ATACMS-BAT: SMERCH Surrogate saved ATACMS-BAT in excess of $10M MCOTEA: REMET saved $25M for SRAW Predator Testing GMLRS Support: Surrogate Target suite saved GMLRS in excess of $2M Excalibur: Surrogate target suite projected to save Excalibur in excess of $5M TMO Has Proven That Surrogates Are A Cost Effective Approach For Meeting T&E Needs

12. MGT NDIA05 8/28/2015 12 POC OPERATIONS LOCATIONS: -Based on frequent need for Mobile Ground Targets to support testing. -Five sites currently in use: WSMR, YPG, APG, RTTC & USAF AAC -Multiple locations to reduce transportation costs. -Deploy to support T & E as needed. RESPONSIBILITIES: -Maintain accountability/control. -Implement configuration management. -Store & maintain assets. -Provide day-to-day scheduling. -Support user testing. FUNDING -Users reimburse POC at fixed rate. -Users fund POC operations. -Minimal institutional funding provided for Army Operations (1/3–2/3).

13. MGT NDIA05 8/28/2015 13 PROCUREMENT OF ASSETS New contract award September 04. –Foreign Hardware – Manuals –Replacement/Surrogate Vehicles – System Modification /Analysis Indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity. Basic award with four option years. Procurement based on: –Parts Replenishment –Anticipated future hardware requirements Support for: –PM ITTS vehicles –Other project/service assets

14. MGT NDIA05 8/28/2015 14 MANAGEMENTMANAGEMENT TMO allocates system to POCs. TMO/User loan agreements establish procedures, responsibilities, and funding. Yuma Proving Ground designated as central asset pool. TMO retains management responsibilities; User/POCs control day- to-day use and support.

15. MGT NDIA05 8/28/2015 15 MAINTENANCE / SUPPORT User bears all support costs. Only properly trained personnel operate and maintain PM ITTS assets. POCs maintain strict configuration control; only authentic spare parts are used unless TMO approves substitution. TMO procures spares to support the MGTO fleet. POCs submit periodic reports to TMO on use and condition of assets. Vehicle remote control capabilities supplied by POCs.

16. MGT NDIA05 8/28/2015 16 MGTO CHARGING POLICY Engine Hours Charges* Based upon category of target system used The rates are updated annually to reflect current costs for vehicle upkeep 5 Categories: (1) Specialty Vehicles, (2) Forward Area Combat Vehicles, (3) Rear Area Support Vehicles, (4) Jeeps & Towed Artillery, and (5) Hulks A minimal static charge (non-operational) of 1 hr/day for vehicles that are dedicated to a specific user, and are not available to other users during that time *Engine Hours rounded up to next whole hour

21. MGT NDIA05 8/28/2015 21 A User requests the use of a SMERCH for the Month of December, that precludes use by other customers. The vehicle is actually used for 5 days during that month: Day 1 : 3.2 hrs Day 2: 5.7 hrs Day 3: 2.5 hrs Day 4: 2.0 hrs Day 5: 4.1 hrs Total Charges: (based upon 22 working days in December) 18 engine hours * $500/hour (for 5 days of operation) + 17days * $500 (for 17 days static) = $17,500 paid to POC MGTO CHARGING POLICY (EXAMPLE)
