The Way We Do Business

CUI

ATS Defined

Automatic Test Equipment (ATE)

• Hardware

• Technical Orders

• System Software

(Self-test & Calibration)

Test Program Set (TPS)

• Unique to Unit Under

Test (UUT)

• Test Software

• Interface Test Adapter

• Test Procedures

Manual

ATE TPS

ATS

Automatic Test Systems (ATS)

• Computer controlled

• Performs stimulus

• Takes measurements

• Performs a test

ATS verifies functionality of units under test

CUI

Challenges

• Focusing on capabilities to improve posture against pacing threat; supporting Persistent Logistics

• Accelerate ATS Digital Transformation/Digital

Acquisition

• Infuse Digital Engineering into legacy systems to realize game-changing agility

• Adopt MBSE, agile SW development, and open systems architecture

• Infusing game-changing technology into new and legacy ATS enabling Agile Combat Employment

Transforming requires continuous innovation;

innovation requires an edgy culture that challenges the status
