A Contractor Program Manager's Testability/Diagnostics Guide

Abstract

The military services have been experiencing problems in the adequacy of their weapon systems' diagnostic capabilities. There are available a variety of techniques, procedures, standards, and devices which can be applied to the acquisition of a system's diagnostic capability. However, this type of information appears in a variety of reports, military standards, specifications and other documents. The objective of this guide is to transform such individual and diverse pieces of information into a logical organized approach which a contractor program manager can follow to structure and control the various diagnostic activities and needs associated with the development of a weapon system with an adequate diagnostic capability. This guide is one of the three guides aimed at the government program manager, the contractor program manager, and the system designer. This guide is specifically designed to help the contractor program manager meet or exceed the diagnostic requirements imposed on the system he is developing. Keywords: Diagnostic equipment; Troubleshooting; Diagnostics; Testability; Diagnostics capability; Integrated diagnostics.
