The LANTIRN Paperless Depot: A Computer-Integrated Repair System

Abstract

One of the premier technological programs in the Air Force today is the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) system. This major program currently being fielded for our tactical forces represents advanced electronics technology not only in the weapon system itself but also in its support equipment. This paper describes four major logistics support initiatives of the LANTIRN program that are joined together to form a Computer-Integrated Repair (CIR) system. This system will effect a paperless automated depot maintenance environment for LANTIRN. The system automates the maintenance concept across all levels of test and repair (Organizational, Intermediate, and Depot) and integrates the results into a comprehensive Depot logistics repair system. The CIR system will greatly improve the maintenance support of the LANTIRN depot and the reliability and maintainability of the entire LANTIRN weapon system.
