Abstract :
The AN/ALE-47 countermeasures dispenser system (CMDS) is designed to be adaptive to new threat and user requirements. This adaptability is accomplished through software reprogramming of the system´s operational flight program (OFP). An AN/ALE-47 system-peculiar integrated support station is used to verify the hardware changes at the system, line replaceable unit, and circuit card level, and to develop, reprogam, and verify software changes for the OFP, associated firmware, the mission data generator, or the ISS itself. The design and current developmental status of the ISS are discussed in detail
