Abstract

The AN/ALE-47 Countermeasures Dispenser System (CMDS) is designed to adapt to new threats and user requirements. This adaptability is accomplished through software reprogramming of the systems operational flight program (OFP). An AN/ALE-47 system-specific integrated support station (ISS) is used to verify hardware changes at the system, line-replaceable-unit (LRU), and circuit-card level and to develop, reprogram, and verify software changes for the OFP, the associated firmware, the mission-data generator, or the ISS itself. The design and current developmental status of ISS are discussed in detail, and a typical ISS test sequence is described
