Use the TEMP to define specific requirements. DO NOT refer to the various requirements documents $($e$.$g$.,$ Analysis of Alternatives, Initial Capabilities Document, Capabilities Development Document$)$ when completing this lesson.

You are designing a developmental test to verify that the SRAW safe$-$arm device $($SAD$)$ arms the SRAW in compliance with both the Minimum Arming Distance Critical Technical Parameter $($CTP$)$ and the Threshold Engagement Envelope Key Performance Parameter $($KPP$)$ identified in the SRAW TEMP. While the impact of the Minimum Arming Distance CTP on SRAW arming should be self$-$evident, the Threshold Engagement Envelope KPP dictates that SRAW arming must occur before the SRAW missile enters the front of the engagement envelope. Furthermore, the test should confirm that the SAD performs at a reliability level consistent with the Reliability Key System Attribute $($KSA$),$ also identified in the TEMP. The SRAW TEMP also provides additional background information and can be found via the hotlink above or under the $"$TST $102$ Resources" page in the "Tools and Resources" link on the left side of the TST$102$ course navigation overview screen.

Note that this developmental test is limited in scope, addressing only SRAW arming. Except for Question $13,$ items beyond the scope of this test $($e$.$g$.,$ items tested during operational test$/$IOT&E$)$ SHOULD NOT be considered.

The test is to be a system$-$level developmental test that will consist of a number of open$-$air SRAW missile launches to occur at the China Lake range.

The following assumptions and historical information should inform test design:

$$ SAD design is stable and is based on the design of devices already used in similar weapon systems. Additionally, subcomponent and component lab testing and extensive modeling and simulation efforts have all been accomplished with very positive results.

$$ Instrumentation and telemetry kits that monitor and transmit activity from the SAD and all other SRAW subsystems are available for installation on SRAW test missiles. These kits are compatible with the data collection capabilities at China Lake and can be used with either inert or live warheads.

$$ The Technical Evaluation $($DT II$)$ Systems identified in the TEMP are the test assets that should be used for this test. These systems can be configured to include either a live $($explosive$)$ warhead or an $$inert$($non$-$explosive$)$ warhead that replicates the weight and balance of the live warhead. The warhead type does not affect SRAW flight performance.

$$ To simplify planning, assume a binomial distribution and use the nomograph when answering Questions $11$ and $12.$ See Lesson $11($pages $28-33)$ for a refresher.

Answer the questions in each area below using short $(1-2$ sentence$)$ responses:

Question $9.$ In determining how many trials to conduct, what reliability level will be used and why? Select only one value here.

Question $10.$ In determining how many trials to conduct, what confidence level will be used and why? Again, select only one value here.

Question $11.$ Using the values in the two previous answers and assuming $0$ failures during testing, how many trials should testers conduct? Use the nomograph to determine the number of trials.

Question $12.$ If the Program Manager informs you that SAD performance will be evaluated on $85$ launches, how many failures are acceptable given the reliability and confidence levels selected above?

Question $13.$ If testers decided to conduct this test of the SAD in conjunction with SRAW operational testing as part of an integrated test approach, how would that integrated test differ from the limited developmental test described by the rest of this assignment?
