Book excerpt: This Air Force Manual (AFMAN) implements the Air Force (AF) test and evaluation (T & E) process for the Airframe Propulsion and Avionics (A-P-A) mission area systems for aircraft (manned or unmanned) and cruise missiles. It is intended to be universal for use by both the government and contractors during any phase of the acquisition cycle in a wide variety of environments, including government owned/operated test facilities, commercial labs, large open air ranges (OARs), Air Force Test Centers, Product Centers, Air Logistics Centers (ALCs), Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center (AFOTEC), and major air commands. It is a guide for use by program managers, test managers, test engineers, test organization personnel, major command headquarters staffs, and others involved in T & E of A-P-A mission area systems. This Air Force Manual (AFMAN) takes the Air Force T & E process described in Air Force Instruction (AFI) 99-103, Air Force Test and Evaluation Process, and tailors it for A-P-A mission area systems. This manual, as well as AFI 99-103 and its associated instructions and manuals has application for test items made in the United States or in foreign countries and applies to Developmental - T & E (DT & E), Operational' (OT & E), Qualification' (QT & E), Follow-on Operational '(FOT & E), Qualification Operational '(QOT & E), and Initial Operational T & E (IOT & E).
