AIR FORCE MATERIEL COMMAND (AFMC)
19. COMPREHENSIVE ENGINE TRENDING AND DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEM (CETADS) (formerly COMPREHENSIVE ENGINE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CEMS)): CETADS, the USAF’s Jet Engine Trending and Diagnostics System, supports the engine test software
for the Air Forces’ On-Condition Maintenance (OCM) Program. CETADS has been designated a mission-critical computer resource. CETADS
is a stand-alone computer system, deployed at over 110 bases worldwide (Air Combat Command (ACC), Air Mobility Command (AMC), Air
National Guard (ANG), Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC), Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE), Air
Force Materiel Command (AFMC) and AETC) and currently supports 13 different types of jet engines. The CETADS information storage and
retrieval system manages over 400,000 critical parts in the Air Force’s large fleet of 22,000 active turbine engines. CETADS provides an
invaluable tool at base level to discover, diagnose, and prevent engine problems. FY01-03 funds provide for continued CETADS upgrades,
replacing outdated computers in the field with modern systems appropriate to manage engine analysis.
20. COMPUTER RESOURCES SUPPORT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CRSIP) (formerly EMBEDDED (COMPUTER RESOURCES)
SUPPORT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (ESIP)): CRSIP utilizes specific hardware and software tools to improve the quality, productivity,
and accessibility of weapon system software and minimize increasing backlogs of weapon system software requirements. CRSIP consists of
three primary domains or tasks: Applied Research & Development at the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), Wright-Patterson AFB, OH;
Software Technology Support at the Software Technology Support Center (STSC), Hill AFB, UT; and Software Readiness managed by the
CRSIP program office at Hill AFB, UT. Standard configuration off-the-shelf hardware does not fulfill the requirements inherent in these
functions. FY01-03 funds continues procurement of a wide range of special configurations of mini/macro computers and commercial/peculiar
hardware devices essential for weapon system support.
21. F-117A TACTICAL DATA PROCESSOR SUITE (TDPS): No FY03 funding requested.
