  1. Inc. DoD Automatic Test Systems User Requirements Presentation Michael Malesich DoD ATS R&D IPT Chair

  2. Inc. T&D Environment

  3. Historical Approach • Services define ATS independently • Infrequent, major, acquisition programs for next generation systems • Specific, peculiar solutions

  4. Implementation Shortfalls • ATS expensive to procure and support • Budgets shrinking • Test Systems H/W is 85% redundant • Limited interoperability between Services • Limited ability to leverage commercial advances

  5. DoD ATS Goals • Reduced total cost of ownership of ATS • TPS re-host • ATE instrument interchangeability • Increased use of commercial products • Scalability • Greater flexibility through Joint Services interoperable ATS • TPS transportability • ATS convergence

  6. Approach to Meeting Needs • Establish DoD ATS Executive Agent • Work with industry • Define architecture to achieve ATS goals • Define NxTest Participate in TDC

  7. NxTest & ARI Architecture Modernization SLEP NxTest JTA New Tester

  8. ATS R&D IPT Mission • Cooperate with industry to develop open system approachto • support new test needs • permit flexible insertion of updates and new technology • use model based programming • increase scalability of ATS • incorporate Integrated Diagnostics • minimize impact on existing ATS

  9. NxTest Expectations • Open system approach • Interoperable ATS • Graceful TPS re-host • 70% hardware reduction • Ease future modernization • Inclusion of diagnostics systems and information • Improved TPS development environments

  10. NxTest Objectives • An environment that reduces total cost of ownership and increases interoperability • A new class of ATS • Commercial based • Embraces DoD Joint Technical Architecture (JTA) requirements and ARI “emerging” requirements • Gracefully applies legacy test programs • Reduces amount of h/w requiring support • Reduces obsolescence risk

  11. Concepts Under Review • Synthetic Stimuli and Measurement capability • Bus simulation • Interchangeable Virtual Instruments • Web based user interface • Open SW Based • Integrated Diagnostics • Knowledge Based Systems

  12. ATS EAO Roadmap Past • Each program did their own thing Present • Selecting standard DoD ATS Families • Defining a commercial-based standard • open system architecture Near Future • Evolve the open system architecture • Services cooperatively define and implement • the common next generation DoD ATS DoD NxTest

  13. Success Stories • Since first TDC meeting, spoke to several members regarding ATS architecture, NxTest, and DoD funding opportunities • Aeroflex • Agilent • AverStar • Boeing • Hamilton Software • SSAI • TYX
