Follow-On Operational Test and Evaluation of the CPU-152/A Standard Central Air Data Computer (SCADC)

Abstract

The purpose of the evaluation was to verify that all the deficiencies from OT-IIC OPEVAL has been corrected prior to approval for full fleet introduction. The evaluation was based on the results of non-scenario operational tests conducted under Project M756, supplemented by the results of OPEVAL, developmental testing, and operational experience. Based on this evaluation, the CPU-152/A SCADC as installed in the S-3A/B aircraft is determined to be operationally effective and operationally suitable. Approval for full fleet introduction of the CPU-152/A is recommended. The SCADC uses air pressure from the pitot static system and temperature signals from the temperature probe to provide air data outputs for navigation, cockpit display, sonobuoy and weapon delivery systems, Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS), and altitude reporting. While the digital SCADC is a form, fit, and function replacement for the existing S-3 Airspeed Altitude Computer Set (AACS), it has, in addition, a Built-in-test (BIT) function allowing maintenance personnel to determine system status without removing the unit.
