Diagnost/Expert Sys
Abstract
This Project funds development of system enhancements for the Maintenance Support Device (MSD). The MSD is a general-purpose automatic test system (ATS) that provides 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 dependence on expensive proprietary software to support tactical vehicles, and maintains compatibility with emerging platform hardware bus technology and software interface requirements. The Department of Defense has identified the need for Intermittent Fault Detection (IFD) testers to aid in the identification of intermittent faults in difficult to troubleshoot platforms, mitigate No Evidence of Failures (NEOF) to reduce unit costs of unnecessary line replaceable unit (LRU) requisitions, and improve unit operational readiness in support of multi-domain operations, large- scale combat operations and the Indo-Pacific Command which will be funded in part by this Project. 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.
