ABSTRACT
A subcommittee of the Test, Evaluation, and Assessment
Support Group was formed to address issues and procedures
relating to the Advanced Processor Build Step 3 test and
analysis procedures. This examination was prompted by the
recent APB-99 Step 4 test wherein a number of system
deficiencies were noted with little or no perceived forewarning
from the APB-99 Step 3 evaluation. This report discusses the
subcommittee's examination of these issues. This critical
examination led to an assessment of the overall Step 3 process
and its implementation. The report therefore provides conclusions
regarding the implementation of the APB Step 3
mechanism and recommendations for the modification of the
Step 3 procedures so that more effective functional and
integrated system testing can be attained. The failure to
adequately address the Step 3 procedural issues raised here can
increase performance risk associated with each new generation
APB sonar system build.
