Best Manufacturing Practices: Report of Survey Conducted at U.S. Army Combat Systems Test Activity

Abstract

During the week of August 23, 1994, a Best Manufacturing Practices (BMP) survey was conducted at the U.S. Army Combat Systems Test Activity (CSTA), located at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. CSTA provides testing of field artillery, weapons, and ammunition and encompasses state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, advanced instrumentation, and comprehensive support capabilities to test a wide range of military weapons systems, equipment, and materiel. Located on 52,000 acres, capabilities are sustained by scientists, engineers, mathematicians, technicians, and support employees, totaling 1200 military and civilian personnel. These capabilities include the ability to design, develop, and construct state-of-the-art instrumentation incorporating the advanced technologies necessary to keep pace with testing requirements of current military systems.
