While this instruction defines basic policy, processes, and procedures common to all AFRL research test activities, each TD or Wing must develop internal means to manage each type of test activity (flight, munitions, directed energy, space, human performance, propulsion, sensors, materials, cyber, etc.). Note: The AFRL Operations Directorate (AFRL/DO) is responsible for pro cess, policy and oversight of flight test and space test, while the 711th Human Performance Wing (711 HPW) is responsible for ensuring compliance with human subject research protections. These offices will establish and maintain the associated volumes accompanying this instruction. Flight test programs (Volume 1), test activities involving human subjects (Volume 2), and space test programs (Volume 3) in all AFRL TDs shall follow the processes described in the respective test volumes.

Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.
