Diagnost/Expert Sys

Abstract

This Project funds development of system enhancements for the Maintenance Support Device (MSD) and the Next Generation Automatic Test System (NGATS). The MSD and the NGATS are general-purpose automatic test systems (ATS) that provide test and diagnostic capabilities required to support current and future weapons and combat support systems across the Cross-Functional Teams (CFTs) in the Army Futures Command (AFC) and will facilitate retirement of aging, obsolete and non-cyber secure test equipment that imposes increasing logistics and operations and support cost burdens. The MSD is the Army's standard at-system tester and requires continuing technology insertions to support modernization of the supported weapon systems. This Project funds development efforts to insert the most current relevant technology into the next generation MSD, supports capability enhancement of at-platform test adapters, develops and standardizes capabilities to minimize or eliminate Army dependency on expensive proprietary software to support tactical vehicles, and maintains compatibility with emerging platform hardware bus technology and software interface requirements. The test and diagnostic systems and procedures developed under this Project are essential for ensuring the operational readiness, accuracy and effectiveness of the Army's warfighting systems.
