Australian Defence Test & Evaluation Office (ADTEO)

---

The Australian Defence Test and Evaluation Office (ADTEO) is a joint organisation, uniquely placed to deliver expert T&E support to the Department of Defence. Test and Evaluation (T&E) is a vital tool for assuring technical integrity and mission effectiveness during the development, acquisition, deployment, support and upgrade of Australia’s defence capabilities.

Much of this support involves managing and reporting on Defence Trials to inform capability development decisions. It also includes providing advice on T&E principles and policy, on trials planning methodologies, and on the development of T&E concepts and T&E Master Plans for new and upgraded capabilities. In addition ADTEO maintains information on national and international T&E resources and co-ordinates multinational T&E activities.

Test and Evaluation (T&E) is a vital tool for assuring technical integrity and mission effectiveness during the development, acquisition, deployment, support and upgrade of Australia's defence capabilities. The mission of the ADTEO is to deliver independent T&E support to Defence.
