# Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA)

TENA is Government Off The Shelf (GOTS) software supporting a wide range of Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) capability. 

> "The OSD’s Test Resource Management Center (TRMC) Central Test and Evaluation 
> Investment Program (CTEIP) is developing and validating a common architecture and 
> requisite software to integrate testing, training, simulation, and high-performance computing technologies, distributed across many facilities. Through the establishment of a 
> common architecture, the Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA), reuse and 
> interoperability of range assets will be tremendously improved, thus reducing range development, operation, and maintenance costs"

# Joint Mission Environment Test Capability (JMETC)

JMETC is the network connecting TENA-capable sites, such as DoD test ranges and laboratories.

> "The Joint Mission Environment Test Capability (JMETC) mission is to provide a
> persistent capability for linking distributed facilities,
> enabling DoD customers to develop and test warfighting capabilities in a Joint Context."
