Abstract :
The authors describe the preliminary results of a one-year analysis of two-level maintenance initiatives in the US military services and the development of systems supportable by a two-level structure. The analysis focused on the level of performance for existing systems in the area of built-in-test/built-in-test equipment (BIT/BITE) and related technological developments which promise to yield improvements in BIT/BITE to assist in achieving a two-level maintenance concept. The authors summarize the findings regarding BIT/BITE in Army missile systems and provide preliminary recommendations as to what should be done to enhance the feasibility of implementing a two-level maintenance structure
