Abstract

This paper has been written to clearly document the specific steps utilized to ensure the selection of the proper OTPS development candidates which, in turn, provide the optimum support for US Navy fleet aircraft at the intermediate or I level of maintenance. Changes in the availability of certain data elements have resulted in the need for a revision to the selection process. This process can be utilized by any organization, military or civilian, for similar selections of electronics tested on ATE that is to be replaced. The selection process is of particular interest to all parties associated with automatic test equipment (ATE) test program set (TPS) development in general and CASS TPS developers in particular. This paper uses US Navy jargon when referring to equipment and command names. Equivalent nomenclature is provided parenthetically wherever possible if clarification is needed.
