Description

The TS-217 is an I-level and Depot-level Universal Launcher test set supporting fighter aircraft launchers including the LAU-127, LAU-128, and LAU-129 (AMRAAM), LAU-117 and LAU-88 (Maverick), and LAU-7 (Sidewinder) missile launchers, launcher electronic assemblies, launcher power supplies, and circuit cards. The TS-217 performs full parametric functional testing as well as troubleshooting to the faulty LRU (I-Level configuration) and SRU
(Depot-Level configuration). The TS-217 can be used as an I-Level tester or as a Depot/Acceptance tester for launcher subassemblies.

Features

The design of the TS-217 is based on the PXI technology. PXI, PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation, is now being specified by most military and commercial customers as the platform of choice for field, intermediate, and depot test equipment due to its rugged construction, high performance, and cost-effectiveness. The TS-217 also employs GPIB instruments for power and audio functions.

The TS-217 utilizes a Windows® XP operating system as well as an advanced ATEasy test executive. Full touch screen menu-driven control eliminates operator’s errors or the need for a keyboard or a mouse. From the Main Menu, the user has easy access to setup, test-ing, and utilities.

BIT and Self-Test

The TS-217 includes a Power-Up BIT that performs a health check on all subsystems and verifies calibration validity on power-up. An extensive self-test program verifies that test set hardware is operational and meets the specifications using a Self-Test Adapter. An automated calibration procedure employs a calibration adapter to minimize calibration down-time and ensure tester accuracy.

Data Collection

During testing, the TS-217 collects all test data and stored it in a test log. The test log contains general information such as date, time, operator’s name, UUT part numbers, software version, and actual test data, limits (tolerances), and descriptions of all tests. Test data is saved automatically and can be used later for trend analysis and/or printed at the end of the test.

Compatibility And Future Growth

As a universal mixed signal test set, the TS-217 can be upgraded to test additional launchers or armament products. It also offers optional support for MIL-STD-1760 munitions and can also include a WMUX-194 interface to support testing of F-16 Stores Management System (SMS) assemblies and a custom MRTU interface to support Longbow assemblies.
