NSN 6625-01-585-4346KV is the Dual-Channel Arbitrary Waveform Generator Assembly which can be used as an arbitrary waveform generator, as well as function and pulse generator. This item is used in Electronic Electrical System Test Set AN/AAM-104, which is part of the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) components. The Contactor shall provide quality repair to ensure a serviceable “A” condition item that efficiently serves its intended purpose, by the required disassembly, test, bench check, inspection and repair. The Contractor shall provide timely and accurate reporting in Commercial Asset Visibility AF (CAVAF), meet Turnaround Time (TAT) for delivery of requirement per PWS instructions, and reduce frequency of Product Quality deficiency Reports (PQDRs). The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that all Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) are returned to service or delivered in compliance with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) performance standards/specifications. The Contractor shall repair submitted hardware, utilizing repair components that are equal to, or superior to, OEM components, which meet applicable drawings, handbooks, manuals, and/or specification established by OEM and which will perform in next higher assemblies.

1.2 Benefit to United States Air Force (USAF): This repair will benefit the United States Air Force (USAF) by reducing Mission Capability (MICAP), SURGE requisitions and backorders, ensuring proper operation of ATE components.

1.3 Background: The LANTIRN and Depot ATE test stations are designed to check/test, diagnose, and repair LANTIRN and Depot ATE LRUs and Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs). They operate under computer control to provide power, generate stimuli, monitor/switch/process, and measure test signals. These check and test capabilities are essential for sustaining the LANTIRN and Depot ATE LRUs & SRUs.
