Abstract

Moving towards the future in government testing is challenging yet very exciting. With newer platforms, Built in Test (BIT) and Built in Self Test (BIST) are used much more extensively than with legacy platforms. Additionally, some of the old design philosophies we once put aside have become new again, and have gained a much wider acceptance. This includes ensuring systems, including test systems, are supportable for life without being tied to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for every hardware and software change. The Department of Defense (DoD) and the Air Force are actively involved in developing logistics capabilities to provide better approaches to platform systems support.
