Test Accessibility Design Guide for Army Mechanical, Hydraulic and Pneumatic Materiel.

Abstract

Test accessibility is becoming more important as automatic test equipment (ATE) proliferates, especially for mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic materiel. A test accessibility program fits best into the overall acquisition cycle for vehicles or aircraft as a part of the established reliability and maintainability (R and M) methods and procedures. Test accessibility in terms of design considerations for new equipment is a new and most important design goal. It is believed that the most expedient way to 'sell' test accessibility is as an expanding part of the standard maintainability program. It is for this reason that the Test Accessibility Design Guide has taken the approach of interweaving important test accessibility information with maintainability approaches. The design guide has been written for both equipment designers and management; it provides needed data and information to the prime equipment design engineer and to Government/Army/Industrial procurement and project management personnel.
