The operational effectiveness and operational suitability questions addressed during Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) are referred to as "Key Performance Parameters" (KPPs). KPPs are critical metrics that determine how well a system meets its intended operational goals and its ability to function in real-world scenarios. They focus on both the effectiveness of the system in achieving its mission and its suitability for use in the intended operational environment.
Operational Measures of Effectiveness (MOE) and Measures of Suitability (MOS) are formally documented in the Capability Development Document (CDD) and the System Requirements Document (SRD). These documents outline the criteria for assessing the performance and suitability of a system or capability within a specific operational context. MOEs focus on the effectiveness of a system in achieving its intended mission, while MOS evaluates how well the system fits within the operational environment and meets user needs.
Yes, operational assessment helps to evaluate the effectiveness and suitability of operational processes, systems, and strategies within an organization. It examines how well operations are functioning based on specific objectives and criteria, providing valuable data to identify areas for improvement and optimization.

Yes, the Developmental Test and Evaluation agency is responsible for evaluating and assessing the operational effectiveness and suitability of a system. They may identify critical operational issues, but the responsibility for establishing them typically lies with the program office or the operational user community.
Yes, an operational test agency is responsible for identifying and establishing critical operational issues during the testing phase of a system or program. They evaluate the effectiveness, suitability, and survivability of the system in realistic operational environments, ensuring that any significant concerns are documented and addressed. This process is essential for informing decision-makers about the system's readiness for deployment.
