Abstract

This paper provides a functional description of the Network Planning Terminal (NPT) and describes both the teamwork between internal Government organizations and the systems integration process that resulted in the success of the NPT program. This success highlights the power of Total Quality Management based working groups, the involvement of soldiers, and the cooperative efforts of RD&E programs within the CECOM Research, Development and Engineering Center and ECAC that have provided the baseline NPT product that fits the available resources of the Program Manager
