Deployable Core Automated Maintenance System (DCAMS),

Abstract

We examined hardware requirements for development of a Deployable Core Automated Maintenance System (DCAMS). Our six alternatives covered the spectrum from a mainframe computer, the Tactical Shelter System, to the Air Force standard microcomputer, Zenith Z-100. Criteria used for the evaluation looked at ease of maintenance, survivability, physical characteristics, transportability, and compatibility with CAMS. We recommend using a microcomputer network to best satisfy the hardware requirement for DCAMS. Since DCAMS is not funded, we also recommend an interim system be developed by the AFLMC to provide limited support until DCAMS is ready. The system would be developed on the AF standard microcomputer and provide engine tracking, scheduled maintenance requirements, and aircraft status information.
