This session will challenge the popular perception that test and evaluation is too slow and costly. Mr. Chris Barrett, Executive Director, U.S. Army Operational Evaluation Command, will share how the Army is implementing Continuous Evaluation Campaigns to drive transformation, enable rapid experimentation, and maximize learning opportunities for critical programs. Mr. Barrett will explain how this agile, data-centric model shifts the paradigm, transforming the traditional developmental and operational testing process into integrated strategies that deliver warfighter-validated feedback early and continuously to enable responsible, risk-informed decisions. These core principles will offer valuable, actionable insights for the entire defense acquisition community.
