Abstract

The use of MIL-STD-2165 is a requirement on all new DoD weapon systems contracts. The authors discuss the major highlights of implementing a design-for-testability program, with particular attention paid to the 200 Series tasks for shop replacement assemblies, and describe the standard´s effects on actual weapon systems designs. They outline specific approaches that can be used by the weapon systems designer to ensure compliance to the testability guides, possible enhancements to MIL-STD-2165 Appendix B, and design strategies to remedy the problems associated with testing new designs in an effective, efficient manner
