GETS |
The GETS-1000 family is designed
for depot-level testing of multiple weapon systems and provides users
with a broad spectrum of capabilities that can ultimately reduce the
proliferation of and reliance upon system-unique test equipment. The
GETS-1000 family of Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) is based on the
recognition that ATE represents a significant portion of the support
costs associated with performing the depot maintenance of a weapon
system.
The GETS-1000 family is designed to reduce the
cost of ownership by providing the following capabilities to:
The GETS-1000B1 (Pictured Above)
currently supports PATRIOT, HAWK (Including PIP III), and Electronic
Warfare Systems, Future Efforts will include Chaparral, the AN/TPS-59
radar, and other weapon systems and subsystems.
The GETS-1000 replaced the PATRIOT
PAT-265E Microwave Test Station, PAT-2215 High-Speed Digital Test
Station, and PAT-2203/2204 Power Supply Test Stations. In addition, the
M920 VXI Digital Test Instrument (DTI) is equivalent to the Teradyne
L200/L300 tester series, while adding greater mixed signal capacity.
This equipment uses and open
architecture concept that supports both VXI and monolithic
instrumentation from multiple vendors to test a broad range of devices
selected for capability, mean time between failure (MTBF),
supportability, warranty, and cost. Instruments are selected to ensure
that they can be repaired and calibrated in the host country using
available commerical resources or in-house capability.
In addition to ATLAS, the GETS-1000B1/B1M
can be programmed using National Instruments LabWindows or LabView, the
HP Virtul Engineering enviroment, and Teradyne "L" series test
language. This capability reduces the cost of test program set(TPS)
development and enables effective re-hosting of existing test programs
and simulations.
Should customers wish it, a PDS that can be
used to develop system-unique TPS's for devices such as unique
communications equipment can be obtained. Using the PDS eliminates the
need for special-purpose test stations, as well as enabling devices
being tested on aging ATE to be rehosted on the GETS-1000. This
capability precludes the requirement to replace the outdated or
weapon-system-unique test station. As weapon systems stay in the field
longer, rehosting becomes a cost-effective method of maintaining support
capability.
The instrument bus uses National Instrument
"GPIB-ENET" adapters that convert TCP/IP packets to IEEE-488
commands. This feature enables a remote user to program the station
either to perform diagnostic testing or TPS development, reducing the
need to provide expensive instruments to the test engineer who is
geographically separated from the test station.
