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.
