• Providing critical information to support admission and enforcement decisions.

• Simplifying use of the system.

• Eliminating the need to re-enter duplicative information.

RTR is prepared to serve as a component of the Operational Test Agency (OTA) and has extensive experience in:

• Current passenger inspection operations at the air, sea, and land border ports-of-entry (POEs).

• Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) of technology solutions and their impact on service and security at the border.

• Familiarity with testing and evaluation processes utilized by DHS and initially established by the Department of Defense.

RTR team IOTE engineers have been involved with numerous test plans, test events, test reports and Test and Evaluation Master Plans (TEMP).  Our engineers will interact and work with the OTA and TECS Modernization Program to understand the project details to ensure all aspect of the requirements are tested.  

RTR will partner with Stanley Associates, who has supported the Navy Operational Test Authority for more than 9 years.  Stanley is integrated into the organization as trusted agents, innovators, and technical experts in the field of Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E).
