Abstract :
The automatic test equipment (ATE) test program set (TPS) Support Center acts as the US Army Aviation Systems Command (AVSCOM) focal point for all aviation automatic testing. The authors discuss both the present operations and future roles of the ATE/TPS support center. The staff provides both technical and program management support. The staff´s expertise covers the disciplines of systems engineering, configuration management, integrated logistics support, and quality assurance. Over the total TPS life-cycle, the center supports applications from initial development through postdeployment upgrades. Also, the center is involved in the application of integrated diagnostics and the modernization of aviation systems to extend their service life and reduce the logistics support burden.<>
