Most NPAC test plans are currently proprietary. Since they can't be
incorporated in the public test plan, a characterization of the coverage
is necessary in the master test plan, to show that it has been covered.

characterizes the coverage. Then, at the conclusion of testing,
Lockheed would have to provide documentation of the test results.
