Abstract :
Four major logistics support initiatives of the low-altitude navigation and targeting infrared for night (LANTIRN) program that are joined together to form a computer-integrated repair (CIR) system are described. This system will effect a paperless automated depot maintenance environment for LANTIRN. The system automates the maintenance concept across all levels of test and repair (organizational, intermediate, and depot) and integrates the results into a comprehensive depot logistics repair system. Key initiatives include automating material handling and conveyance; integrating interactive workstations with automatic test equipment; and collecting, processing, and displaying historical test results and repair data. Other features include displaying electronic technical orders and providing videogenics at the workstation
