Abstract

Galileo Avionica has successfully designed, developed and integrated test program sets (TPS) on the consolidated automated support system (CASS) for various units under test (UUTs). Galileo Avionica also has recently purchased an LM-STAR^reg test system from Lockheed Martin simulation, training and support (LM-STS) for their factory production. This paper will describe in detail the successful TPS rehost results and experiences going from CASS to LM-STAR. This paper will also describe the system software architecture utilized that allowed this rehost to LM-STAR to be successfully performed. LMSTS customers including Galileo Avionica are requesting solutions that protect their legacy TPS investment and provide them the latest hardware, software tools, and development environments for new TPS development. Fielded weapon systems and test systems of today must be maintained and supported many years beyond their original projected life expectancy. We will also discuss our plan forward for new TPS development written in languages other than ATLAS that will employ the same underlying system software architecture.
