From 1980 to 1992, the DoD spent over $50 billion acquiring Automatic Test Systems (ATS) used to test weapon systems. At that time,procuring unique ATS to support single weapon systems was the norm. In 1994, the DoD made a dramatic change to their ATS acquisition policy;common ATS that supported multiple weapon systems was preferred over ATS tailored to support a single weapon system. Expected benefits of thisnew policy included: more reliable equipment, increased supportability, decreased cost, smaller logistics footprint, and decreased manning. To date,the common ATS initiative has garnered little support AF-wide due to lack of substantive data supporting the expected benefits in a practical setting.The majority of the ATS procured in the 1980-1992 'bubble' is still in service but is facing severe aging and obsolescence issues.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
