2.5 Developing the TEMP

Question 1

Critical Technical Parameters (CTPs)

Answer 1

Verification through Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) to determine if the system met its performance thresholds

Question 2

Critical Operational Issues (COIs)

Answer 2

Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) addresses these and determines the system’s capability to perform its mission

Question 3

TEMP Evolution through Milestones

Answer 3

Milestone A: Initial approval

Milestone B: Updated and # LRIP Test Articles Determiend (Earliest Live Fire T&E Waiver Required)

Milestone C: May needed updating and final DT&E Report and Operational Assesment (OA) (Earliest DT&E Report Required)

FRP: May need updating, include IOT&E Assesment from Service and DOT&E (Earliest point a DOT&E Report on IOT&E required)
