Description:
1. This program includes hundreds of test and measurement equipment items used throughout the Air Force. The equipment is used in
Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratories (PMELs), Avionics Integrated Support Facilities (AISFs), Automated Test Support Facilities,
Centralized Radio Shops, Radio/Radar Repair Shops, and Maintenance Shops. This equipment also supports calibration of aircraft Avionics
Intermediate Shop equipment. Failure to procure this equipment will inhibit performance of detailed analysis investigations, impair the
maintenance, repair and calibration of state-of-the-art measurement devices leading to increased avionics and communications equipment
downtime, and may impair safety of flight or grounding of aircraft, directly impacting Air Force missions.
2. There are approximately 7,500 individual test items procured in this line. FY03 funding procures both initial shortages as well as
replacement equipment which currently faces obsolescence. All items have an annual procurement value of less than $5,000,000 and are
Code A. Items requested in FY03 are identified on the following P-40a and are representative of items to be procured. Items procured during
execution may change based on the most critical equipment needed to support current Air Force mission requirements.
