What does DTE stand for?

Quad-S is a mobile, rapidly deployable, nonconventional, comprehensive surveillance system that through research, development, test, evaluation, and integration of state-of-the-art underwater, surface, and land-side maritime sensor/imaging systems will provide for surface vessel tracking systems; marine radar systems for locating and identifying unexpected approaching watercraft; underwater systems for the detection of swimmers and acoustic systems for the scanning of docks and ship hulls for underwater improvised explosive device detection.

For example, separate thresholds for research, development, test, evaluation and procurement were eliminated.

``With the research, development, test, evaluation, and other support of Flight Test Center personnel, more major milestones in flight have occurred here than anywhere else in the world.

It is known for its work with explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics, and provides full support, including research, development, test, evaluation, engineering and fleet-support functions.

``We must work together to see that the nation's interests are served by using our superior Western ranges and labs, such as Edwards and China Lake, to provide the most cost-effective research, development, test, evaluation and training our military needs for the future.

Navy's NAWCAD supports research, development, test, evaluation, engineering and fleet support of Navy and Marine Corps air vehicle systems and trainers.

The contractor will be responsible for the design, engineering analyses, hardware and software development, fabrication, integration, algorithm development, test, evaluation and support for integration of the instrument with the NPOESS spacecraft.
