The NAVSEA TMDE Program office is responsible for comprehensive cradle to grave Life cycle support,
encompassing acquisition, outfitting and retirement of General Purpose Electronic and Electrical Test Equipment (GPETE)and Calibration Standards (CALSTDS). Through multiyear acquisition planning and execution, the TMDE
program strives to provide cost effective Commercial Off-the-shelf (COTS) test equipment solutions to support Prime
systems corrective and preventive maintenance

TMDE Program Goals
StandardizationSailors use the same model they trained on in school
ModernizationModels are the most current and user-friendly available
Infusion of new technologiesAdded capabilities, features, and integrated platforms
Reliability ImprovementTest equipment self-test and calibration resiliency
Inventory ReductionLonger cal intervals and reliability reduce need for redundancy
Distance Support IntegrationCapability for shore-based support to see what Sailor sees
AutomationIntelligent test equipment capable of hands-free maintenance
Terminology
General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment (GPETE)Electronic/Electrical test equipment containing the capability without modification to generate, modify, or measure a range of parameters of electronic functions required to test two or more prime equipments or systems of basically different design
Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE)Any system or device used to evaluate the operational condition of an end item or subsystem thereof, or to identify and/or isolate any actual or potential malfunction
Calibration Standards (CAL STDs)Systems and equipment used to verify operational capability of either general purpose equipment or standards of lower accuracy.
Program Products
SPETERL - Ships Portable Electrical/Electronic Test Equipment Requirements Listing. The requisite configuration document detailing prime systems and allowable quantities of test equipment to support maintenance. Published on demand
TMDE Index - Used to cross-reference Prime system/equipment measurement requirements to SCAT codes and their affiliated NAVSEA authorized GPETE.
CD-ROM Technical Manual Library- CD-ROM set of various GPETE technical manuals, both operator and service. Available upon request
Assistance by Email – [email protected];
[email protected]; [email protected]
Test Equipment Operation Training – Nine GPETE Operator computer based training modules available on the TMDE INDEX CD.
TMDE Program - a year in reviewMajor Initiatives and work efforts
Engineering – To date, 120 Prime Systems evaluations/CMRS on
file/completed.– The Portable Pressure Calibrator outfitting is underway. 74
sets fielded from OPN procurements, 14 supporting New Ships construction. 367 personnel trained to date.
– Portable Radio Test Set accepted by Naval Special Warfare to support Radio Maintenance. Additional radio test protocols for AN/PRC 117 under development. System fielded to ten primary sites; 6 additional sites being staged
TMDE Program - a year in reviewMajor Initiatives and work efforts
Engineering – Completed NAVSEA 08 test equipment SCAT conversion
for OHIO Class submarine Reactor Plant manuals– Completed Engineering review of Advanced Virtual
Instrumentation Test Set (AVITS) for SCAT compliance. Calibration Problem Report (CPR) Process
– Since last reporting, 738 reports received, balance of 9 – Resolution process incorporates tandem effort between
Corona and Seal BeachFunctional Group Analysis as part of Modernization &
Standardization– Established a protocol to analyze/evaluate/target old models
for replacement– Used to develop New 5 year GPETE modernization plan
TMDE Program - a year in reviewMajor Initiatives and work efforts
Class Standard Allowancing
– All major ship classes have approved Matrices
• 3 Matrices to be reviewed by Fleet (TBD)– ACU, FFG & AS Matrix

TMDE Program - a year in reviewMajor Initiatives and work efforts
SPETERL – 537 SPETERLS requested, produced & distributed – USCG SPETERL work fully integrated into process
Automatic Identification Technology (AIT) initiative
– 130k+ items marked to date
– Work underway to verify data as compliant with current DoD guidelines
– Bar coding of TMDE transferred and incorporated into Fleet CTRA process.
– Work started to incorporate TMDE identification within MFOM
TMDE Program - a year in reviewMajor Initiatives and work efforts
MR-Cal Program – Primary task to manage schoolhouse calibration overflow– Initial task covered 13 schoolhouses, current task supports
34 schools– Initial CALSAL documents produced for 3 labs affiliated
with schoolsCalibration Laboratory Allowancing Process
– 15 baseline Calibration Laboratory Allowance Lists (CALSAL) developed for Regional, Fleet Shore and Forward Deployed, Naval Shipyards and participating Depot facilities completed – all documents have been site validated.
– Review of guidelines required to incorporate NAVSEA cognizant Mechanical/Shipboard Gage Field Calibration Activities
TMDE Program - a year in reviewMajor Initiatives and work efforts
Provisioning
– TMDE identification on APL recommendations provided to Logistics forum for inclusion into the Tech Specifications for CDMD-OA.
• TMDE to be documented by use of APL – work in progress
– Provisioning completed on PPC (SCAT 5089 & 5090), 16803A-E01(SCAT 4025) & E4418B-E23 (SCAT 4957)
Programmatics
– Completion of Requirements Document to support Next Generation TMDE Database Development
– Success in re-establishing OPNAV N86/ Surface Warfare GPETE procurement line.
