Application and Test of the Forecase Concept of Electronics Maintenance on Navy Loran Equipment.
Abstract
The report describes the Technical Advisory Service rendered to the Navy in connection with the Task FORECAST concept of electronics maintenance. This concept is presented as a collection of policies, methods, techniques, and services integrated in a plan for improved level of electronics maintenance in the services. Special reference is made to the application of the FORECAST concept to the Navy LORAN system and to the resulting products and level of performance achieved. In implementing FORECAST procedures, Navy chief petty officers, working with FORECAST scientists, produced a technical manual and training program, using an especially designed device and programmed instruction. The same tests in identifying malfunctions in LORAN systems were given to 86 Navy electronics technicians, FORECAST trained, and to 12 graduates of a conventional Navy course. FORECAST students identified 39% of the bad parts; conventionally trained students, 13%. (Author)
