DOD AND LOCKHEED ARE PLEASED WITH DMS TEST
Topic:  DII

DOD and Lockheed officials are pleased about the results of the Defense 
Message System's (DMS) initial operational test and evaluation, which 
took place last month at nine military sites.

DMS program manager Tom Clarke said in a statement that the preliminary 
results "confirm DMS Release 1.0 is a viable baseline system" that likely 
will evolve to full messaging capability over the next several years.

The Defense Information Systems Agency will be releasing the IOT&E 
results to the public shortly.
