Technology Survey of Advanced Army Weapon Systems and Their Support Requirements.
Abstract
This survey was initiated in response to a compelling need to increase ATE support capability to meet the test requirements of increased complexity of new technology areas in modern Army weapon systems. Four weapon systems were surveyed to determine the major technological advancements: Advanced Attack Helicopter, XM-1 Main Battle Tank, TOW Heavy Antitank Missile and Fighting Combat Vehicle Systems. This technological survey resulted in recommendations to the Army to conduct research and development which will result in an increased capability of ATE in the fields of Electro-Optics (Fiber Optics, Low-energy lasers, high-energy lasers and imaging devices), microwave devices and Very Large Scale Integrated Circuits/Very High Speed Integrated Circuits (VLSI/VHSIC).
