Integrated support system for the self protection system

This paper describes the Logtronics process to develop and deploy a highly integrated maintenance support system for the Avitronics complex Radar Warning Receiver. The fully integrated state-of-the-art multi sensor warning system (MSWS) provides advanced and comprehensive multi spectral situational awareness that includes radar, laser and missile approach warning functions. The MSWS is being used on various helicopters and transport aircraft. The Logtronics approach to develop and deploy an integrated support capability for this complex system involves a highly structured process, resulting in one of the only true "Class V" interactive electronic technical manuals (IETMs). This paper describes the development process and the use of automated tools within that process, and the focus on integration of the tools within the process. An O-level and I-level test station hosting IETMs and an advanced diagnostic reasoning system running under LabWindows/CVI is the core of the maintenance capability. The development process includes the integration and use of LSAR data base, FMECA tools, IETM authoring tools, model-based diagnostic reasoning development tools and test development tools.
