This document presents the Terminal Doppler Weather Radar TDWR, Build 5 enhancement, Test and Evaluation Master Plan TEMP. This Build 5 TEMP identifies Operational Test and Evaluation OTE objectives, responsibilities, resources, schedules, and critical test issues. The Build 5 enhancement consists of a Build 5A which provides connectivity to the Low Level Wind Shear Alert System LLWAS II, and a Build 5B which provides connectivity to an LLWAS III. Build 5A displays LLWAS II wind data along with TDWR hazardous weather data on TDWR Geographic Situation Displays GSD and Ribbon Display Terminals RDT. Build 5B provides additional capabilities such as having a Microburst Shear Integration Algorithm MSIA, TDWRLLWAS III Integration Algorithm, 15-day archiving and TDWR, LLWAS II and LLWAS III data integration.
