IMPLEMENTATION AND CHECKOUT OF THE FORECAST CONCEPT OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEM REPAIR AT THE U.S. ARMY ORDNANCE GUIDED MISSILE SCHOOL,
Abstract
The FORECAST methods of analyzing and conceptually structuring electronic systems for determining practical repair information were taught to eight OGMS personnel, who use the methods to analyze the HIPAR system. Members of the HumRRO research staff advised and assisted in this effort. As a result of the analysis, a document termed The Improved Hercules HIPAR Training Supplement, lesson plans, and materials for the mockup equipment were developed. The HumRRO research staff designed the mockups and contracted for their fabrication. The FORECAST concept of troubleshooting within malfunctioning blocks was not used for the HIPAR course because there were no spare chassis. It is anticipated that this addional concept will be implemented when appropriate facilities for practice become available. The duration of the complete HIPAR course, including the FORECAST content, is 10 weeks. The course has been conducted for civilian and military supervisors and for Army repairmen with previous training and experience on the Nike-Hercules system. It had been in operation for about one and a half years at the time of writing this report. Discussions are being held at OGMS and at the U. S. Army Signal School in regard to using FORECAST methods in other repair courses. (Author)
