Microelectronics Status Analysis and Secondary Part Procureability Assessment of the THAAD Weapon System

Abstract

The Manufacturing Science and Technology Division (MS&TD), AMCOM has the mission and function of providing microelectronic technology assessments, and producibility and supportability analyses for the THAAD weapon system. MS&TD evaluates the impacts of nonavailability of microelectronic parts on the life cycle supportability of the THAAD weapon System and evaluates the producibility of the THAAD weapon system. MS&TD required engineering support in performing microelectronic technology and availability assessments for several hundred items and in assessing the impact of nonavailability on the THAAD weapon system. MS&TD also required engineering support In performing producibility analyses of the THAAD weapon system. In order to facilitate the assessment of this system, the UAH Systems Management and Production Laboratory was tasked to conduct an in-depth analysis as to the life cycle health of the THAAD weapon system's component parts.
