Automated Test Systems

Abstract

The Bomber Armament Tester will ensure that our USAF bomber fleet can conduct nuclear deterrence, global power projection and global strike operations to support the President of the United States and Combatant Commanders by having a reliable, cyber secure, and sustainable tester. The tasks are to develop a common bomber armament tester and the Test Program Sets (Software, Hardware, and Documentation) to test the armament release equipment on the bombers. RDT&E efforts support development, testing, and producibility of the Bomber Armament Tester and Test Program Sets. The program will utilize an incremental development approach with B-2 plus most complex B-1 and B-52 test program sets as Increment 1, B-1 as Increment 2, and B-52 as Increment 3.
