AH4 Automatic Test Equipment Requirements.
Abstract
The Army's new advanced helicopter, AH-64 relies on automatic test equipment (ATE) at aviation intermediate maintenance (AVIM) units for testing and diagnosis of faulty components removed from the aircraft. The Army is planning to provide one ATE station to each division and corps aviation brigade AVIM unit that supports the AH-64. Our independent analysis indicates that one ATE per AVIM may be sufficient only if the mean time between removal of AH-64 line replaceable units is 6 to 8 flying hours or greater, a figure that, though perhaps achievable, is twice that demonstrated so far in operational testing.
