Microelectronic Status Analysis and Secondary Part Procureability Assessment of the AVENGER Weapon System

Abstract

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