Course Description
A
one-week course designed to provide an overview of the flight test
and evaluation process and to examine, in detail, the subjects
necessary to manage T&E programs. The course is offered to
members of government and industry who are either directly
involved with managing flight test programs/projects; interface
directly with a flight test program and need to understand T&E
management issues; and/or are program office personnel who oversee
flight test programs. The subject matter is useful for anyone
involved with the management of either DT&E or OT&E.
