Abstract :
The task of the CASS CTS is to test complex guided munitions in the All-Up-Round and Guidance Section configurations requiring such capabilities as real-time operation and simulation of operational parameters. The CTS software design provides extremely fast instrument communication, establishment of multiple tasks, and extensive interrupt control within the environment of an operator-friendly test executive. The modular software architecture and the use of industry-standard interfaces result in a readily expandable and adaptable test system.
