... A decision could be made in the future to budgets for improving existing systems most likely will be move the prototype into production, with no further below -- possibly much below -- current levels. Future vulnerability assessments planned to determine any design budgets for the technology base (not counting independent weaknesses.

... Consequently, much of live fire testing in the future believes that the vulnerability assessment capabilities of the should be oriented toward verifying the improved modeling future, both analytical and testing, should be developed as procedures, extending the data base of weapons effects and follows: material responses, and validating proposed design features 1. Vulnerability assessment will continue to be required to and equipment for reducing vulnerability.

... All of these opinions and beliefs on both sides of vulnerability assessment activities and capabilities in each of the fence are subjective; none are objective. No quantification the three Services, it believes that until the recent DoD budget of the benefits and risks associated with the combination of downturn, there were sufficient programs to warrant the analyses and full-scale, full-up live fire tests compared to the continuation of more-or-less similar Service live fire test benefits and risks associated with the combination of analyses capabilities.

However, in the decades ahead, the expected Perhaps a national vulnerability test center could be created requirements for the vulnerability testing of new Service that would serve all Services, with significantly more equipment will probably fall below that level where a critical capabilities than currently exist at any one facility today, at a mass of broad-based facilities and knowledgeable staff can be cost below that in effect today.
