Automatic Test Equipment Extension for Dayton Air Force Depot
Abstract
Work was performed on a study program determining the detail requirements for an automatic test system for testing of airborne electronic equipment. Presented is the technical information required to pursue an equipment development program of the versatile automatc test system utilizing a building block concept of design. The system will have capabilites of performing fault isolation on over 35 airborne electronic systems (not including WRAMA equipments) including piece part fault location on various subassemblies of these systems. The automatic test system is not limited to the 35 airborne electronics systems studied in detail, but has an estimated capability of checking 80% (exclusive of special cables required) of electronic equipment in the Air Force Inventory. Various problems associated with implementing an automated test facility were considered and studied. Those considered were logistic support, planning, scheduling and changing skill levels. Also considered were economic advantages gained due to expected increase in MTBF of the airborne electronic equipment due to exhaustive testing posible thru use of automation.
