ATEC plans and conducts independent evaluations and assessments, and manages the integration of developmental tests, independent operational tests, and experiments to provide essential information to Soldiers and into the hands of acquisition decision makers supporting the American Warfighter.

The U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Center (ATEC) is participating in an alternate personnel system known as the Acquisition Demonstration Project (AcqDemo).  Among other features, the Demonstration Project replaced GS grade levels with occupational families and pay bands.  The band NH 03 is equal to the former GS-12 step 01 through GS-13 step 10.

ATEC uses salary control points within the salary range to allow for differentiation in the level of positions within the same broadband.  Therefore, the salary for this position will initially be set within a range from $74,872 to $97,333.
