AFGS�87219B APPENDIX A
a. Tests of built-in diagnostic capability during component, subassembly, assembly, and integrated aircraft system testing.
b. Use of embedded diagnostic capability to support final assembly checkout and flight test activities combined with comprehensive maintenance data collection and analysis.
c. Use of common tools and support equipment identified for operational use to support manufacturing, checkout, and flight test activities combined with comprehensive maintenance data collection and analysis (including collection and analysis of analogous data from the manufacturing and checkout operations). Qualification tests and demonstrations of the EPS should include tests and/or demonstrations to verify the adequacy of all support resources (for example, tools, support equipment, and technical data) to perform all required maintenance functions. Note that this requirement is not intended to preclude the use of laboratory and other special test equipment for engineering development test activity support during flight test but is intended to encourage contractor reliance on identified operational maintenance system
capabilities and equipment for all maintenance activities which could be anticipated to occur in weapon system operational use.
d. Use of development program manuals (DPMs) which are procedurally and physically as close to the planned technical orders (T.O.s) as possible to support flight test operational and maintenance activities.
e. Use of a maintenance data collection and analysis system for flight test support which is (1) designed to interface with and support the contractor's Reliability and Maintainability data collection and analysis system and (2) designed to be transitioned to the maintenance data collection and analysis system planned for Air Force operational use.
f. Conduct maintainability demonstrations using preliminary T.O.s (or the DPMs) during the flight test program to demonstrate those functions of the maintenance system which have not been demonstrated during other flight test activities. If possible, conduct these demonstrations using appropriately trained Air Force personnel.
MIL-HDBK-470 provides guidance on ensuring that the system meets the required level of maintainability.
g. Use of the technical order (T.O.) validation (by the contractor) and verification (by the Government) process to verify that manual diagnostic techniques are complete and perform as intended.
h. Conduct operational test and evaluation (OTE) to assure the embedded and support resource capabilities are satisfactory and support proceeding with deployment.
