Abstract :
A complex test program, such as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Autonomous Minehunting and Mapping Technology, (AMMT), demands detailed test planning. The AMMT Master Test Plan met this requirement. The plan prepared the test team for five months of field work and still preserved flexibility for unanticipated contingencies
