Abstract :
The authors describe a general-purpose test and maintenance architecture for electronic subsystems and its demonstration in several avionics SEM-E modules for fiber-optic networking of the Advanced Tactical Fighter, A-12, and other modern aircraft. The results of applying this test and maintenance architecture are delineated in terms of payoff, penalty, and problems encountered. Industry efforts needed to eliminate some of the problems encountered are discussed
