1. What are the primary objectives of EW T&E?
The three primary objectives of the Electronic Warfare Test & Evaluation (EW T&E) Process are:
a) to reduce the risk of hidden flaws in a product that will be very costly to fix later
b) to demonstrate system performance that proves systems are being properly developed/improved and will meet the needs of the user
c) to contribute timely, accurate and affordable information to support life cycle acquisition and support decisions.

2. Why do we need a disciplined EW T&E Process?
     First, the troubled histories of EW programs that came on line too late, were over budget, or unable to meet user needs.
     Second, the need to use limited and costly resources that exist to support EW T&E efficiently.
     Third, we need a process that will help us do a better job of assessing and managing risk.
     Fourth, we need a quality product for the user.
