TISS is the standard intermediate level tester for the F-15 Electronic Warfare Suite TEWS.

TEWS suite uses its Built-In-Test (BIT) capability to detect malfunctions and isolate failures to Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). Failed LRUs are removed from the aircraft and sent to the intermediate level of maintenance for test, repair, and re-test. Test and repair of a LRU is accomplished by fault isolation to a Shop Replaceable Unit (SRU). At the intermediate level of maintenance, extensive use will be made of the F-15 TEWS Intermediate Support System (TISS). TISS consists of Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), a Test Program Set (TPS) for each unit under test (UUT) and a Storage Equipment Set (SES).
