Abstract
The Air Force is committed to using commercial test equipment and practices. Commercial products however, must comply with the needs of Air Force to meet some unique environmental requirements. At the same time, we hope to have a partnership with industry allowing technical interchanges and discussion of business practices. The Engineering Branch of the Support Equipment and Vehicle Management Directorate is organizing equipment and personnel into product families, groups and lines to reduce proliferation and change the focus to purchase capabilities instead of single items.
