They are both, its an "Operational Evaluation". Basically the Navy is taking an experimental piece of kit out in the field and seeing where the bugs are at under "life fire" conditions. Its happens all the time.
@ Steve: I loved the DASH, an idea way ahead of its time. Its a real shame they failed to work all the bugs out of the system. The DASH was even rated as a nuclear depth bomb delivery platform as I recall.
