Producibility Engineering and Planning (PEP) of the XM74 GEMSS Extended Tripline Sensor.

Abstract

This report summarizes accomplishments for a producibility engineering and planning study of the XM74 GEMSS Extended Range Tripline Sensor. The overall purpose was to support Army mine programs by maximizing the producibility of the Extended Tripline Sensor and by a parallel effort to evolve an automated assembly machine line and associated processes for high volume, low cost production. The section devoted to sensor production engineering presents material on the initial design and describes proposed design changes. A second major section deals with machine line and test equipment design. Also included is support effort such as reliability, availability, maintainability, safety and human factors engineering. Cost data is also presented to cover the initial design and the final design resulting from the approved changes.
