Development of an automatic test set for an air-to-ground weapon system

Abstract

This paper discusses the design and development of the Services Weapon Test Set (SWTS); an automated test set that is designed to be used at the Second Line Maintenance Facility for the troubleshooting and certification of the Brimstone Weapon System. This test set is designed to be operated by Royal Air Force personnel with little or no system unique training, and without the use of Technical Publications. All instructions and troubleshooting information are provided to the operator on the test set's screen.
