Abstract :
Emerging built-in test requirements for electronic warfare systems on platforms such as the F22 advanced tactical fighter necessitate advanced techniques to cost-effectively detect, isolate, and report RF faults. The author describes integrated system architectures and the requirements imposed on an RF system for an advanced platform and explains the evolution of an architecture which can meet those requirements. Diagnostic false alarm reduction is discussed, with analogies to false alarm reduction in the target detection domain. The problem of aperture testing is discussed, and a description of how these RF assets can interact with Depot test equipment is given.<>
