MTADS/PNVS Improvements
- 1st Generation FLIR
- 2nd Generation FLIR
- TADS Single Target Tracker
- TADS Multi-Target (1 5) Tracker (MTT)
- TADS Internal Boresight Eliminates Need
for Outfront Boresight
- TADS Internal Boresight and Outfront
Boresight (Manual Cue Update)
- Improved Reliability and Reduced Maintenance
Costs
- Diagnostic Troubleshooting Aid (DTA)
Required
- DTA Functions Imbedded in M-TADS Software
through Improved Built-In-Test ( BIT)
- Hardware Driven
- Unique TADS and PNVS Line Replaceable Units
(LRUs)
- Software Driven (Facilitates updates)
- 2 Level Maintenance (AVUM and Depot, No
Electronic Equipment Test Facility (EETF)
Requirements)
- 3 Level Maintenance (Aviation Unit Maintenance
(AVUM), Aviation Intermediate Maintenance (AVIM),
and Depot)
- Improved Fault Isolation During IBIT
- MOC decreases steps and incorporates BIT
- Improved Maintainability (Access to
components, integrated harness)

• EETF/EOTF
• 3 level Maintenance
• High Maint Burden
• MTBF 145.1 Hours

• No EETF/EOTF
• Improved reliability
• 2 level Maintenance
• Reduced Maint Burden
• MTBF 220 Hours
