STATEMENT OF NEED:

C-130 NP2000/EPCS ADVANCED MOBILE UNIVERSAL ELECTRICAL TESTER

(AMUET)

Requiring Activity Name: AFLCMC/WLNE

1.0 SCOPE

The USAF seeks solutions to combat on-aircraft intermittent wiring issues, specifically for the C- 130.

1.0.1 Background

A new and unique electrical system testing technology has been identified to address common issues facing aging military aircraft fleets to quickly find and repair electrical faults and track wiring performance by tail number over time. While there are several existing large circuit analyzers currently used in the aircraft industry, the ability to check aircraft electronics and wiring systems at a reasonable investment cost are not always achievable with these analyzers.

There is an issue using elaborate circuit analyzers at a remote aircraft hangar or maintenance facility due to their size, cost, and complexity. The issues with checking aircraft electronics and wiring systems quickly, effectively, and within reasonable cost targets are universal. Generally, the worst-cases are with military aircraft due to their age and deteriorating systems coupled with multiple wiring/system upgrades over time.

The AMUET capability provides for Electronic Wiring Interconnect System (EWIS) subsystem integrity validation, trending analysis supporting predictive, and preventative maintenance and the availability of multiple built-in troubleshooting tools. As the AMUET is federated, and not connected to the Air Force network, the data it collects is used to generate trend and failure data.

With these advantages, AMUET deployment and use in quickly validating and/or restoring EWIS integrity can also serve to reduce costly false avionics component removals, down time associated with repetitive No Fault Found (NFF) maintenance, and the incomplete diagnostics related to handheld meters, thus further improving aircraft availability. The AMUET platform size and cost advantages provide opportunities for fielding at every level of maintenance, providing the warfighter with enhanced capabilities to address aircraft system/subsystem reliability and availability at significantly lower man-hour costs. One technician can do a full diagnostic/repair/doc of a specific subsystem in less than 45 minutes as validated through a Business Case Analysis (BCA) during the AMUET project.
