This is a description of the figure:

• COMPONENT LEVEL AND SYSTEM LEVEL - TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE: Elemental tests assess technical capabilities by systematically modifying variables in a tightly controlled environment. These tests can be designed to evaluate the technical performance of an overall system or specific components.

•  Elemental Tests at the Component Level
• • Arabic text recognition and translation
    
  • Face recognition and matching
    
• Elemental Tests at the System Level
• • Arabic text translation
    
  • Face recognition and matching
  • Object detection and image classification
  • Shot localization and weapon classification
    
  • Soldier state and localization
  • Sound and speech recognition
  
  

• CAPABILITY LEVEL – UTILITY ASSESSMENT: Task tests assess a specific capability’s utility to the warfighter by placing them in a controlled and somewhat operationally-relevant environment. Tasks include:

• Base/entry checkpoint
• Building clearing
• Courtyard recon o Insurgent surveillance
• Insurgent surveillance and ambush
• Knock and talk o Presence patrol
• Street observations and interactions

• SYSTEM LEVEL – UTILITY ASSESSMENT: Vignette tests assess utility to the warfighter by immersing them (using the technology) in a simulated tactical environment. Vignettes include:

• Assessment of a local village prior to an upcoming election
• Presence patrol and improvised explosive device site reconnaissance
• Presence patrol leading to a cordon and search
  
• Presence patrol leading to checkpoint operations
  
• Presence patrol with census operations
• Presence patrol with deliberate search
