【 摘 要 】

Test and evaluation, in some form or theother, has always been a major component of the development andoperation programmes relating to major defence systems. The traditionalprocess is based on a largely unaccountable and non-inheritable processin which professionalism is thought to be sufficient to ensure that theprogrammes achieve performance targets. After years of evolution, the USCongress legislated around 1983, for the 'master-planned test andevaluation' process to be used under compulsion of law. This muchimproved test and evaluation process is outlined using a major defenceprocurement failure-that of the seventeenth century warship the'Vasa'-as a case study to highlight the main features of the test andevaluation master-planned (TEMP) method.
