A-10/KC-135 Turbine Engine Monitoring System (TEMS)
Test Program Sets (TPS)
A proof-of-concept of Diagnostician impact on test
program sets (TPS) proved dramatic improvements to TPS run-time, diagnostic
accuracy, and quality on the A-10 and KC-135 Turbine Engine Monitoring System’s
(TEMS) depot test programs. The result
of this proof of concept is a contract to re-engineer all of the TEMS TPSs to
include the Diagnostician.
Additionally, the Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) and Shop Replaceable Unit (SRU) testers will be networked and software written to enhance the vertical
testability and commonality of test results between the LRU and SRU
testers. The results of the proof of concept
are provided below.
