The Transition of F-111 Intermediate Level Automatic Test Equipment Software Responsibility from AFSC to AFLC: A Case Description and Analysis.
Abstract
This thesis is an investigation into the F-111 intermediate level automatic test equipment (ATE) software transitioning problem which was unresolved as of July 1973. The nature and purpose of transition is discussed with emphasis on the current transition environment that exists within AFSC and AFLC. A comprehensive description of F-111 intermediate level ATE software and software management tasks is presented. The development of this software transitioning problem is described from its earliest symptoms to its present proportions. With the aid of an open-ended questionnaire, the basic causes and contributing factors are identified and analyzed. A possible immediate solution to this particular F-111 transitioning problem is presented. Finally, several major recommendations are offered covering the central themes of inadequate knowledge of ATE software, the deficiencies of the current transition process, and new procedures for handling ATE software during the five phases of the weapon system acquisition process.
