CASS Manpower Analysis
May 1, 2005
The Navy is in the process of establishing new Naval Enlisted Codes (NECs) for the Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS) operators. The Navy has developed personnel requirements for the initial cadre of bench operators and maintainers. However, with the introduction of new NECs, the manpower requirement for the old NECs may not be valid, and the manning requirement for the new NECs has not yet been determined. PMA-205 tasked the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) to develop these requirements based on current CASS maintenance data.

CASS Requirements for a Regional Maintenance Center
July 1, 1996
The Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS) is a computerized Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) systems that is currently being fielded by the Department of the Navy. Over the next several years, CASS will replace existing ATE systems and help the Navy standardize test and training procedures. The Director of the Navy' s Air Warfare Division (N88) and the Support Equipment Program Office (PMA-260) asked CNA to review the Navy s current plans for CASS implementation within the fleet. These plans call for the phase integration of CASS into both Navy and Marine Corps maintenance facilities. This paper examines CASS requirements for supporting avionics components at shore-based Regional Maintenance Centers (RMCs). Specifically, our sponsor wanted to know: how many CASS stations do RMCs need; and how many of each type of CASS stations do they need? We address these questions by examining the planned RMC support for (only) F/A-18 and F-14 aircraft at Oceana.

CASS Assessment: Future Requirements for Aircraft Carriers
September 1, 1995
The Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS) is a computerized Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) system that is currently being fielded by the Department of the Navy. Over the next several years, CASS will replace many existing ATE systems and help the Navy standardize test and training procedures. The Director of the Navy's Air Warfare Division (N88) and the Support Equipment Office (PMA-260) asked CNA to review the Navy's current plans for CASS implementation within the fleet. Among other things, these plans call for the phased integration of CASS into carrier Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Departments (AIMDs). This paper is part of our workload assessment of these plans for carrier AIMDs. Our sponsors wanted answers to two questions: (1) how many (total) CASS stations do carrier AIMDs need?; and (2) more specifically, how many of each type of CASS do they need? In a previous analysis, we explored these questions for CASS support of existing weapons systems only. In this paper, we expand on that analysis by including CASS support of emerging weapons systems as well.
