The Live Fire Test & Training (LFT&T) Program responds to Secretary of Defense and Congressional mandates for the training and testing communities to work more closely together, where possible. The LFT&T Program provides funding for innovative projects that support this basic theme of combining training and testing efforts and products - including common development and use of realistic training and test/analysis modeling and simulation environments and procedures, and shared use of data and models. By providing a source of funding and a management structure that bridges both the training and the test/analysis communities, the LFT&T Program serves as a sounding board and a challenge for government and industry, encouraging innovation and a broad range of experimentation within the overall program objectives. Thus, the program has included diverse projects from all services and warfare environments. The LFT&T Program is succeeding on a number of fronts. This paper includes some of those success stories, descriptions of the projects currently funded, and areas of particular interest. The objective is a broader understanding of the LFT&T Program - with the hope that we will stimulate ideas for future projects.
