2016 Maintenance Innovation Challenge AGM65 Video Generator Tester

2016 Maintenance Innovation Challenge AGM-65 Video Generator Tester PROBLEM STATEMENT BENEFITS Validating/troubleshooting F-16 video using the Stores Station Tester (SST) requires excessive time, preparation, and is impractical for end-of-runway (Red Ball) checks. Moreover, the SST is large, complex, and takes upwards of 4 hours per aircraft to test and verify the F-16 video system is functional. § Saved 714 maintenance hours annually § Reduced crew size from 3 to 2 technicians § Facilitated/expedited testing/troubleshooting of F-16 video system, weapons system, and sniper pods § Vital to AEF/Bagram 2015 Deployment. Use of the BK Precision 1211 E Video Generator Test Set facilitated troubleshooting on Red-Balls and enabled aircraft to be rapidly repaired/returned to FMC status § Average fix rate using the 1211 E was 2 hours § Technicians able to quickly identify/isolate video faults § Local Bagram AB Job Guide (LJG) created outlining use the BK Precision 1211 E Video Generator Test Set on F 16 wing weapons pylons/aircraft interfaces TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION GRAPHIC Utilized BK Precision 1211 E Video Generator Test Set to test/verify F-16 video system is functional and operational Avg Annual Repair Time per Aircraft 5 Avg Annual Repair Time per Fleet (51 F-16 s) 1000 4 816 800 3 2 0, 5 1 0 Mx Hours 4 600 400 102 200 0 SST 1211 E Delta = 3. 5 hrs per aircraft SST 1211 E Delta = 714 hrs per year
