The TPS test design pmcess results in UUT detailed test strategy that is independent of its eventual implementation in source code or on a specific ATS. It is test strategy, not source code, that embodies the critical metrics of UUT fault detection and isolation. Source code implementation is the first step in a design chain that finally results in signal -information flow acmss the test interface. This SI now is the physical realization of test design. The objective of TPS rehosting is usually preservation of proven legacy test design, but it should also seek to preserve legacy SI flow to avoid the subtle, and often difficult, problems caused by rehosting to the new ATS. These problems can be exacerbated by inability of the original source code to describe what is happening at the UUT test interface, and by the repeated and characteristic need to choose between equivalent performance of, and incidental or Substantive enhancements to. the rehosted TPS.

“…The consolidated TPS (or CSP [consolidated support package]), concept described in [3] supports the development of EUT internal BIT capability coordinated with the development of an external TPS, that is capable of harmonizing BIT interrogation results with conventional response measurement. Although this approach is directed primarily at TPS / ATS implementations typical of depot level support, similar techniques could be applied to the development of EUT BIT capability that is coordinated with PMA (or even integral maintenance panel) hardware and software design.…”

“…An approach to recasting the current support paradigm, in terms of the binding of mission related and support related aspects of prime system design into a much more highly integrated process, going beyond existing technical and commercial conventions, is suggested in [2]. The consolidation of test strategy within a more advanced version of the conventional TPS, insofar as it would contribute to test process integration, is described in [3]. Finally, an approach to bringing"expert presence'' to remote maintenance sites through networked diagnostic communications, is outlined in [4].…”

“…Further development of these, and similar, BIT techniques can be used to improve and standardize the interfaces and algorithms by which BIT results, including those responding to uploaded BIT agents, can be interrogated and integrated with the rest of the diagnostic process. This includes BIT / TPS test harmonization as'discussed in [8] (albeit on a rudimentary level) and the integration of BIT results with external TPS test strategy as described in[3]. categories: Wireless NAN and/or LAN for EUT to PMA communication, and wireless WAN access for local to remote site communication.…”

A number of trends, including growing prime system complexity, the more widespread use of COTS equipment, an inclination to extended contractor support, and the increasing importance of global diagnostic coverage, all portend changes in the current system support paradigm. These changes will affect support acquisition, development, design and operational practice insofar as they relate to generic diagnostic hnctions and their realization using modern enabling technologies. Beneficial changes can be accelerated through the coordinated insertion of these technologies within the framework of a systems engineering process.
