Quick-Reaction Report on the Acquisition of the F-15 Downsized Tester

Abstract

The Air Force is procuring an F-15 Downsized Tester (the Tester) to replace existing automatic test equipment for the F-15 aircraft. The Tester will be a portable automatic test equipment system for testing a portion of the electronic equipment on the F-15 aircraft at the intermediate maintenance level. The Tester will initially replace the F-15 Avionics Intermediate Shop test equipment that has been in operation since 1974. Later the Tester will replace the F-15E Mobile Electronic Test Set used on the F-13E model aircraft since 1986. The audit was requested by the Director, Weapon Support Improvement Group, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Production and Logistics). The Air Force plans to award a contract for 167 million for 55 units of automatic test equipment over the 6-year Future Years Defense Program (FY 1992 through FY 1997).
