The QSI integrated tool set, consisting of TEAMS, TEAMS-RT, TEAMATE and HARVESTER, offers a comprehensive solution to integrated diagnosis of systems with many components (modules, boards, replaceable units, etc.) that are subject to failure. The software tool set automates the DFT, FMECA, on-line monitoring, off-line diagnosis, and maintenance data management tasks. Integration is achieved via a common model-based approach wherein a consistent model is used across different tools at various stages of a system's life-cycle. In this paper, we present an overview of the Integrated Toolset, with examples of its real-world applications in model-based TPS development, real-time process monitoring, and PIMA.

Virtual Instrument (VI) based test program development systems, as exemplified by National Instruments' LabVIEW, provide very powerful design capture fools that allow the test program set (TPS) developer to rapidly prototype test strategies. As usual, in great power lies danger. In this case the danger is the ease of which VIs are reused. While code reuse is a desired feature, unintentional modifications to common VIs, name clashes, and library corruption are all potential headaches resulting from uncontrolled changes to VIs stored in shared libraries. Undetected "Spontaneous Upgrades" to library components can ruin a maintainer's day when the program loads with broken wires. Developing quality software requires software quality. This paper provides recommended practices to address the Key Practice Areas (KPAs) defined in the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) Capability Maturity Model (CMM) in the context of TPS development in LabVIEW. Repository management procedures such as check-in check-out and change tracking and documentation are described.

The foundation of what is known as agile competition is beginning to unfold. Rather than offering the customer a plethora of different options from which to choose, the customer works with the producer to arrive at solutions to the customer's specific problem. Information and services become a significant part of the product sold. Agile competition represents a significant departure from the lean manufacturing environments that exist today. The economics of production will no longer be defined in terms of being the low cost producer. What has emerged is on inescapable evolution to high-mix, low-volume manufacturing. An effective and efficient test strategy is critical to profitably meeting the responsiveness and delivery performance challenges of a dynamic agile, high-mix, low-volume electronics manufacturing environment. Test strategy objectives must align in on integrated way with the overall objectives established at the highest level of a manufacturing organization. In this regard, a manufacturing operations model is a competitive imperative. A manufacturing operations model will greatly assist management in gaining a better understanding of problems and serve as a focal point for systematic discussion of objectives and alternatives. Fundamental to the establishment of a sound manufacturing test strategy is the measurement of and understanding of the relevant dimensions of flexibility and complexity. Reductions in complexity coupled with increased flexibility (e.g., mix, volume) can offer competitive advantages in cost, quality, responsiveness and delivery performance for a high-mix low-volume electronics manufacturer. Various test strategy choices and the relevant issues pertaining to their use will be presented for the different types of manufacturing environments that con be encountered.

The 437th Guidance and Control shop is an intermediate I-level back-shop located at Charleston Air Force Base (CAFB). Its primary purpose is to provide I-level service and repair to C-17 and C-141 line replaceable units (LRUs). The focus of this paper is the resounding success of the C-17 operation development and implementation. This includes the fielding of three digital audio/video stations (DAVs), two display unit test sets (DUTSs), 38 test program sets (TPSs), and related hardware, technical orders (TOs), training requirements, and process development. Due to their efforts, the Guidance and Control shop received recognition with the Public Service Excellence Award for Air Mobility Command (AMC).

This paper offers insight into the challenges of the modern day defense department procurement process. The Common Munitions Built-in-Test (BIT) Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE) will be used to initiate BIT and provide BIT status. The CMBRE will also up load/ down load and verify applicable software including Operational Flight Programs (OFPs) and mission planning data. The CMBRE is an interservice tester which embodies all the elements of the "new" procurement process. This process includes Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) emphasis, military streamlining initiatives, combined Air Force and Navy Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) multiple munitions testing, portability and an interservice/contractor communication process. This paper gives unique management and technical perspective, written against a real world contract backdrop, and provides lessons which can provide guidance for both the buyer and seller to achieve a "Win-win" outcome for defense related procurements heading into the 21st century.

This paper is an update to information presented at Autotestcon 1991. Presented are lessons learned from a practical reuse of a large C++ library that has been developed for hydraulic component testing. This software is currently being used by HR Textron to supply semi-automatic/automatic servovalve and servocylinder test stands. The lessons learned are presented in the context of servovalve and servocylinder testing in order to associate abstract software development issues to real world systems.

The collection of high speed, multi-channel test data in a VXI environment can be challenging, especially when the number of input channels is large and data processing is required for analysis of the test data. This paper describes a data acquisition system which was designed to acquire performance data on the Minuteman III MK12/W62 Re-entry Vehicle Nuclear Weapon Sub-System, as the Sub-System is functionally tested in a simulated flight test environment. The testing requires the simultaneous measurement of 53 channels of digital and analog data with a cumulative data capture rate of 100 kHz. The data is used to evaluate the reliability of the test specimen, using a post-processing algorithm. To further complicate the acquisition and post-test processing, the signals under measurement are interrelated in that some signals act as triggering events for other signals. The solution presented in this paper is a VXI-based data acquisition instrument operating with a PC running a LabVIEW(R) application while using an MXI interface for data transfer between the VXI and PC buses. The software element of this system uses a uniquely developed data analysis tool. The analysis tool, named Data Score/sup TM/, is programmed in a scripting language to allow test engineers the ability to define signal interrelations and data processing algorithms. The graphical user interface provides a flexible ability to view either post-test or archived data.

The purpose of this paper is to acquaint the reader with the existing capabilities of the Pratt and Whitney Comprehensive Engine Diagnostic System (CEDS) and the efforts being made to introduce commercial off the shelf (COTS) equipment. This paper will provide examples, details, and benefits of this approach to commercial equipment applications in both the organizational and intermediate maintenance on the F-100 jet engine.

In the current environment of DOD downsizing, considerable savings can be achieved by timely, appropriate ATS decisions. Frequently decisions are made in an environment where ATS and support in general is down-played in favor of more glamorous "smoke-and-fire" budget elements. Sometimes this is a result of inadequate preparation, sometimes from a lack of understanding of the process, almost always from a lack of knowledge regarding the funding process where support and ATS interests are represented by the Requirements Officer (RO). This paper provides an overview of the RO's perspective.

During recent years Defense budgets have been cut across all services while the cost of maintaining current standards has risen. The Aircraft Stores Interface Manual (ASIM) Program Office found that maintaining a staff of people for paper updates was no longer feasible and was tasked by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Air Armament Working Party (AAWP) to digitize the ASIM manuals. Converting this information from paper to electronic media presented several challenges which are discussed. Adopting Paperless Information Technology and replacing "Snail Mail" with the World Wide Web is presented.
