CHAPTER VII: PROGRAM AUTHORIZATION PROCESS<br />
PART C: TEST AND EVALUATION MASTER PLAN (TEMP)<br />
Purpose: The TEMP defines overall structure and objectives of the test and evaluation program, integrating<br />
necessary developmental, operational, and live fire test and evaluation activities, resources, schedule, management<br />
strategy, and evaluation criteria in a framework sufficient for generating other detailed test plans, schedules, and<br />
documents.<br />
Source Documents: DoD Directive 5000.1<br />
DoD Regulation 5000.2-R<br />
SECNAVINST 5000.2B<br />
NAVAIRINST 3960.2<br />
Development: The PM requests and N912 assigns a Test and Evaluation Identification Number for the TEMP.<br />
Key document inputs to the TEMP are AOA, ORD, and STAR. The format of DoD 5000.2-R, Appendix III, is<br />
mandatory.<br />
Approval: A current approved TEMP is required for milestone decision reviews, conduct of tests, and for<br />
certification of readiness for operational test phases. Approval is required 30 days before first milestone review<br />
(excluding MS O), within 90 days of program's OSD T&E Oversight designation, or before significant test event.<br />
The TEMP is updated at each milestone, when the acquisition program baseline is breached, or when the program<br />
changes significantly.<br />

Lessons Learned: Early involvement of COMOPTEVFOR is crucial. Test Planning Working Group (TPWG)<br />
meetings are critical to timely TEMP development/updates, resolving issues and ensuring operational<br />
requirements, thresholds, resources, certification requirements and overall developmental and operational test<br />
plans are clear, accurate and consistent with overall strategy and other documentation. Ensure the logistics support<br />
planned for each phase of operational test is clearly described.<br />
