Test Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) Overview
Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center
Charleston Advanced Technology Branch
2
TEMP Focus

• Addresses the impact of requiring the use of
  contactless biometric card readers
• Verify identity
• Verify card authenticity and validity
• Establish a plan for an Integrated Test and
  Evaluation Program (ITEP) for the card reader
• Testing will support the Coast Guards second
  rule making for readers
• Temp is a living document which is updated as
  plans mature or specific information is obtained
• The TEMP is broken into sections
• Introduction
• Program Summary
• ITEP Plan
• ITEP Resource Summary

3
TEMP Introduction

• Background on the TWIC program
• Presents the 4 phases of the TWIC program
• Emphasis on phases 3 (Prototype) 4
  (Implementation)
• Provides card reader operational performance
  requirements and critical technical parameters
• Planned test regions and facilities
• Type
• Business conducted
• Employee count

4
TEMP Program Summary

• Provides ITEP integrated schedule and
  organization
• Schedule of critical events within the major
  testing activities
• Organizational chart maps out the organizational
  entity relationships and documents each of their
  functions within the ITEP

5
ITEP Overview

• ITEP has three major activities
• Initial Technical Test (ITT)
• Early Operational Assessment (EOA)
• System Test and Evaluation (STE)
• Three activities build upon each other to
  minimize redundancy
• ITEP is predicated on this principle to decrease
  the amount of test duplication
• Independent Test Agent (ITA)
• Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center
  Charleston has been tasked by DHS to perform the
  ITA tasking for the ITEP

6
ITT Overview

• Provides information regarding the technical
  capability of the card readers
• Ensures the card reader will work for the EOA
  phase
• ITT includes the environmental and specification
  conformance testing
• Technical Test Plan
• Incorporate Coast Guard regulations and Port
  requirements
• Reader specifications
• TEMP guidelines
• Multiple Test resources will be leveraged
• NIST laboratory testing
• NAVAIR environmental testing
• Vendor laboratory testing Is there any
  available test documentation?
• Independent laboratory testing
• Collect and Analyze Data
• Submit Quick Look Report
• Submit final report

7
ITT Overview

• Visit 5 geographical locations
• Determine specific pilot facilities for EOA
• Collect data for EOA baseline test plan
• Define/clarify roles
• Determine test use cases
• Identify access points and existing methods
• Data collection methods and resources
• Duration and amount of data to collect
• Develop EOA baseline test plan
• TSA/DHS approval
• Submit to ports
• Disseminate to data collection resources
• Acquire port acceptance of plan

8
EOA Overview

• Focuses on collecting early data to support
• 2ND Rulemaking
• Card reader suitability and effectiveness
• Refinement for card reader specifications
• Data collection EOA First stage
• Testing will be overseen by SPAWAR (Either
  witnessed or reported daily)
• Port resources independent of SPAWAR will be
  utilized
• Baseline data will be compared to data after new
  TWIC reader installation
• Reader Installation
• Readers are down selected based on ITT test
  results
• Port resources install selected TWIC readers
  (SPAWAR witnesses install)
• Data collection
• Data is collected using post installation test
  procedures in the plan
• SPAWAR witnesses or data is reported daily
• SPAWAR quick look report after reader
  installation
• Data collection must be instantaneous reported
  for quick turn around
• Analyze post installation data

9
STE Overview

• Evaluates card reader effectiveness, suitability,
  and supportability
• All inclusive of previous testing and results
• Incorporates ITT and EOA lessons learned
• Establish protocol for other sites/vessels to
  evaluate readers before the acquisition stage
• Evaluate full impact of TWIC on facility and
  vessel operations
• Port business process
• Entrant processing
• Modifications to current Access Control Systems
  (ACS)
• Other burdens that face the facility or vessel
  operators to comply with TWIC
• Finalize reader regulatory requirements
• Support future card reader acquisitions
• Support Coast Guards second rule making
• Card readers will be subjected to normal
  operations
• Monitoring will continue under normal operations

ITEP Resource Summary

• Test articles
• Sites and Instrumentation
• Test Support Equipment
• Simulations and Models
• TE administrative support
• Manpower and training
• Technical interfaces

11
Port Questions

• High low throughput times and access points
• Sufficient duration and quantity of data
  collection
• Peak Seasons
• MARSEC levels for each access point
• Measurement of flow of commerce
• Dollar value
• Time value
• Relationship of throughput to dollars
