3. 3 Our Location White Sands is located in the Tularosa basin in southern new mexico. White Sands is surrounded by a few supporting communities, las cruces is 22 miles away, the el paso/ft.bliss area is roughly 50 miles. Alamogordo and Socorro are also supporting communities – I note these because we have contracting operations in both communities.White Sands is located in the Tularosa basin in southern new mexico.

5. 5 Core Services(Major Thrusts) Here are White Sands Core Services - our major thrusts. None of these technologies could exist or be supported without our contractors. Complex range operations, Systems performance, and instrumentation/data acquisition are some examples. The Test Center capabilities directly correspond to the needs of the DoD and the warfighter. The Warfighter depends on the system or system of systems employed to provide a decisive edge in information and the ability to project power in executing the mission at hand.
Complex Range Operations - The Test Center plans, schedules, operates and maintains the range for all Team Members and users. The Test Center capability is like no other in the DA in terms of technology and the ability to conduct complex, multi-participant scenarios in a safe, over land and tactical environment. This capability represents the culmination of a number of individual efforts and systems in both a live, virtual and constructive environment.
Systems Performance - The core requirement for any device or systems is for it to perform as expected. The ability to characterize the performance of the system and Warfighter as well as to identify and resolve deficiencies is a core capability of the Test Center.
Instrumentation & Data Acquisition - WSMR is one of the most highly instrumented ranges in the DoD with the ability to accurately measure the performance of a system over the entire area of operations. This is one of the primary reasons many programs are tested at WSMR. For example, the Navy has tested every Naval weapon system over land prior to firing at sea such that precision data can be acquired for validation and improvement of deficiencies, data that could not be acquired at sea including recovery and post test analysis of components.
Threat Presentation & Lethality – To determine and validate the Warfighters capability against the threat requires the presentation of realistic targets and environments. The capability of presenting the target, fixed and rotary wing air, ground vehicle and infrastructure including tunnels is a core capability of the Test Center.
Operational Environment – The Test Center has the ability to expose the systems under test to virtually any environmental condition on earth and subject them to any dynamic environment. This capability is a key part of test and training allowing a system or component to be conditioned and operated in a continual sequence under known conditions. This is critical to reducing the schedule and cost while ensuring the systems operate properly and safely in a combat environment.
Survivability & Vulnerability – Finally, the Test Center assess survivability and potential vulnerabilities of the systems under test to ensure they are compatible with other systems on the battlefield and that they do not represent a vulnerability to the Warfighter.Here are White Sands Core Services - our major thrusts.

6. 6 Core Mission Areas White Sands core mission areas include: Air and Missile defense – this has been our bread and butter for many years, but the trend is changing. Directed energy and system of system testing are some of the new areas in which White Sands is focusing because of Army transformation. All of these programs have contracting support and all of them offer numerous contracting opportunities.White Sands core mission areas include: Air and Missile defense – this has been our bread and butter for many years, but the trend is changing.

8. 8 FY07 Funding Sources Here is White Sands FY 06 Funding Overview – the Test Center has executed about 338 million dollars in FY06. Of that, about 54% is spent on direct test support. While another 22% is spent on all base operations. As you will see in a few minutes, these are potential contracting opportunities. About 80 million is spent on contractors – 39% of that goes to small business while 61% go to other business. If you take a look at the workload breakout, the Army programs contributes about 100 million or 71% of our workload.
Institutional = DTC funds to operate; Reimbursable = direct customer support
AFH: Army Family Housing
Other OMA: Other Operations and Maintenance – basically anything that isn’t Base Communications or Base Operations i.e. security and intelligence, info security, official representation funds
APA: Army Procurement
AT/FP: Anti terrorism/Force protection
SRM: Sustainment, Revitalization and Modernization

9. 9 Personnel Trends(White Sands Test Center) Here is White Sands personnel trends – we have a stable workforce, predominatly engineers, scientists, and technicians of all disciplines. Our current strength is about 1000 gov. civilians and 1025 direct support contractors – so we are about 50/50 right now. We have an aging workforce – the retirement attrition is being restored with government interns, co-ops, and contractors. The trend we are moving towards right now is increasing the contractor to gov ratio

17. 17 A Look Ahead…Transformation Examples Directed Energy Test and Evaluation Capability – developing instrumentation for directed energy (primarily High Energy Laser and High Power Microwave).
White Sands was recently identified as the nexus for Future Combat Systems research, development, test and evaluation. This effort will involve numerous programs (including joint), and contractors requiring a variety of contract supplies and services.
Instrumentation and capabilities development continues to evolve particularly in the areas of network systems, (global information grid test bed), advanced systems instrumentation, telemetry, optics and, GPS, communications and radar systems.
White Sands and transformation – the future. Directed energy is a big one – contracting opportunities exist in the development of instrumentation for directed energy (mainly high energy laser and high power microwave)
Like I mentioned before WSMR was recently designated as the site for (FCS) Technical Field Tests. The contracting opportunities here will be numerous – the development of instrumentation and capabilities in network systems ( specifically the global information grid test bed). Other developments that FCS bring with it are advanced systems instrumentation, telemetry, optics, GPS, and communications needs.
WSMR has some limited maneuver area for wheeled vehicles and is in the process of establishing areas to meet the needs of the FCS. WSMR, partnering with Ft. Bliss, bring all the transportation, deployment, instrumentation and distributed mission control and test capabilities necessary to conduct this systems of systems event. Combining the terrain and airspace of WSMR and Ft. Bliss brings a capability to test and train the UA that cannot be found anywhere in the U.S. DoD holdings. This coupled with the restricted air space for air and UAV operations and the local Navy and Air Force elements make the area ideal for ensuring the UA is joint interoperable as well. WSMR has not only the capability, but the experience as well, in conducting complex missions.
It is anticipated that this radical transformation in the Army power projection capability will require a dedicated unit through the evolution of the UA. It follows that the UA should be located at the site where the evolution is to occur – WSMR and where connectivity to all major command elements will be available for command & control as well as analysis.
