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 />
