The Over-the-Horizon Targeting (OTH-T) Program and the Reconfigurable Land-Based Test Site (RLBTS) Laboratory

This paper focuses on command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) integration and interoperability testing accomplished by the Over-the-Horizon Targeting (OTH-T) program and the support that the OTH-T program provides the Fleet, including technical expertise afloat and ashore for submarines, surface, and land-based components. Test scalability from recent small-scale tests such as Web replication (Fleet-requested) to large-scale projects such as the Distributed Engineering Plant (DEP) also are discussed. The paper also addresses the Fleet Systems Engineering Team (FSET). FSET support provides system engineering to command centers and numbered fleet commanders, daily network monitoring and troubleshooting of the Officer in Tactical Command Information Exchange Subsystem/Tactical Data Information Exchange System to Pacific Fleet/Atlantic Fleet command centers, and data collection and analysis tools.
