Testing the Tests or the Quality of Diagnostic and Functional Tests Used in the Repair of Inertial Systems at the Aerospace Guidance and Metrology Center.

Abstract

The paper discusses the evaluation and improvement of tests used during the repair of Inertial Navigation Systems at the Aerospace Guidance and Metrology Center (AGMC) at Newark Air Force Station, in Newark, Ohio. The highly significant impact of both diagnostic and functional tests errors on the efficiency of the overall repair process is discussed. An evaluation program at AGMC to 'test the tests' is described. The results should be generally applicable to any repair process that uses diagnostic tests combined with selective replacement.
