Second Line of Defense. Megaports Initiative. Operational Testing and Evaluation Plan for Port of Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico

The purpose of the Operational Testing and Evaluation (OT&E) phases of the project is to prepare for turnover of the Megaports system supplied by the United States Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) located at the Export Lanes of the Port of Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico to the government of Mexico. The activities conducted during the OT&E phases must demonstrate that the Megaports system can be operated effectively in real-time by Mexico Customs personnel to the satisfaction of the DOE/NNSA. The activities conducted during the OT&E phases will also determine if the Megaports system, as installed and accepted, is performing according to the Megaports Program objectives such that the system is capable of executing the mission of the Second Line of Defense (SLD) Megaports Initiative. The OT&E phases of the project also provide an opportunity to consider potential improvements to the system and take remedial actions if performance deficiencies are identified during the course of evaluation. Changes to the system should be considered under an appropriate change control process. DOE/NNSA will determine that OT&E is complete by examining whether the Megaports system is performing as intended and that Mexico is fully capable of operating the system independently without continued onsite support from the U.S. team.
