Historical ApproachHistorical Approach
Services define ATS independently
Infrequent, major, acquisition programs for next generation systems
Specific, peculiar solutions

Inc.
Implementation ShortfallsImplementation Shortfalls
ATS expensive to procure and support Budgets shrinking Test Systems H/W is 85% redundant Limited interoperability between
Services Limited ability to leverage commercial
advances

DoD ATS GoalsDoD ATS Goals
Reduced total cost of ownership of ATS– TPS re-host– ATE instrument interchangeability– Increased use of commercial products– Scalability
Greater flexibility through Joint Services interoperable ATS– TPS transportability– ATS convergence

ATS R&D IPT MissionATS R&D IPT Mission
Cooperate with industry to develop open system approach to– support new test needs– permit flexible insertion of updates and new
technology– use model based programming– increase scalability of ATS– incorporate Integrated Diagnostics– minimize impact on existing ATS

NxTest ExpectationsNxTest Expectations
Open system approach Interoperable ATS Graceful TPS re-host 70% hardware reduction Ease future modernization Inclusion of diagnostics systems and
information Improved TPS development environments

NxTest ObjectivesNxTest Objectives
An environment that reduces total cost of ownership and increases interoperability
A new class of ATS– Commercial based– Embraces DoD Joint Technical Architecture (JTA)
requirements and ARI “emerging” requirements– Gracefully applies legacy test programs– Reduces amount of h/w requiring support– Reduces obsolescence risk
