1.
Purpose. To establish Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR)
policies, processes, responsibilities, and requirements for
preparation, review, and execution of flight, ground, and
laboratory tests of air vehicles, air vehicle weapons, and air
vehicle installed systems. This instruction provides test
planning guidance and is not intended to define or restrict the
structure of program teams. Teaming arrangements are often
dynamic and unique to specific programs. Guidance on their
structure and the roles of test teams within that structure may
be found in program operating guides or other governing
documents. Guidance for NAVAIR involvement in the
experimentation process is currently under development and will
be published via separate correspondence.
