Abstract :
Utilizing engineering skill, a USAF depot repair facility was enhanced for long term support. This was accomplished by updating a recent automatic test equipment (ATE) design, building new interface test adapters (ITAs), and rehosting existing test program sets (TPSs). All the test equipment, control software, software tools, and rehost environment required for the establishment of a depot repair facility were designed, engineered, fabricated, assembled, documented, controlled, demonstrated, tested and delivered including TPS software, ITA hardware and engineering data.
