Database of International Experiences in Support of the Test and Evaluation Community (DIETEC)

Purpose of the database The main aim is to collect and publish information derived from experiences in test and evaluation of humanitarian demining equipment. The collected “experiences” are intended to highlight key areas of consideration in the T&E process, as well as specific observations related to the evaluation of humanitarian demining equipment in operational use. The database is intended to provide useful information for a variety of T&E stakeholders, ranging from test engineers and entities involved in large-scale test and evaluation campaigns to the individual user at the field level interested in evaluating his/her specific piece of equipment.
