From page 19...
... DHS needs to address these shortcomings for a rigorous approach. Scientific Rigor: To make the testing and evaluation more scientifically rigorous, the committee recommends an iterative approach with modeling and physical testing complementing each other.
From page 20...
... This kind of interaction between computer models and physical tests is standard for the development of high-technology equipment and is essential for building scientific confidence. The idea of an iterative approach also extends to deployment: the committee recommends a process for incremental deployment and continuous improvement, with experience leading to refinements in both technologies and operations over time.
