APPENDIX E. TARS MINIMUM ESSENTIAL SUBSYSTEM LIST (MESL) & WORK UNIT CODES (WUCs)

1.0 GENERAL. The Minimum Essential Subsystem List (MESL) lays the groundwork for reporting the status of aerostat capability. It lists the minimum essential systems and subsystems that must work on the aerostat for it to perform specifically assigned unit daily, training, test or other missions. The MESL brings together the Full Systems List (FSL) and the Basic Systems List (BSL).

1.1. Basic Systems List. The BSL lists the system specific assigned missions and the systems and subsystems that must work for the system to accomplish those missions.

1.2. Full Systems List. The FSL lists all systems and subsystems needed for Full Mission Performance. It lists the essential systems and subsystems that must work to do all BSL missions and other ancillary missions.

1.3. MESL. The MESL allows you to compare aerostat systems, subsystems, and components, by work unit code (WUC), against the FSL and BSL across the table in paragraph 2.0. In each column, the equipment that must work for that specific mission is marked with an "X".

1.3.1. A system may have an "X" in the FSL column only or in the FSL column and any or all of the BSL columns.

1.3.2. If there is an "X" in the FSL column only, the equipment does not have any specifically assigned mission. The equipment may be used to support other missions.

1.3.3. If there is an "X" in the FSL column and any or all of the BSL columns, the equipment must be operational for the mission identified by the column heading.

1.3.4. If any system or subsystem with an "X" in the FSL column only is not working, put the aerostat in maintenance status code PMC.

1.3.5. If any system or subsystem with an "X" in the FSL and all BSL columns is not working, the aerostat cannot do any mission and is status code NMC. If any BSL column does not have an "X" for the inoperative system, the status code is PMC.

1.3.6. Determine the adverse impact of non-working components within listed systems or subsystems on a case-by-case basis. Components may appear on a MESL if the component is the only part of the subsystem that must be operational.

1.3.7. For degraded system performance evaluations, decide whether the overall system or subsystem can still support applicable mission requirements.

1.3.8. Sites with an aerostat not equipped, and/or not programmed to be equipped, with a listed system or subsystem should not report status on that equipment, unless the MESL states otherwise.
