Microelectronic Status Analysis and Secondary Part Procureability Assessment of the ATACMS-BAT 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 ATACMS-BAT weapon system. MT evaluates the impacts of nonavailability of microelectronic parts on the life cycle supportability of the ATACMS-BAT weapon system and evaluates the producibility of the ATACMS-BAT 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 ATACMS-BAT weapon system. MT also required engineering support in performing producibility analyses of the ATACMS-BAT 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 ATACMS-BAT weapon system's component parts.
