Test Set Integration The SmartCan is supplied to the customer with the latest firmware, all functional tests completed and validated, customer specific test programs installed, and ready for final integration onto the customer’s aircraft.
During the integration process, SmartCan kits are reviewed with the customer to confirm that all required cables, connectors, and other components are in good order and their uses are understood. Firmware and software are thoroughly tested as well.
MTS works closely with maintainers, the ultimate SmartCan users, during the integration process ensuring that the test sets are fully functional and the users are fully trained.
Since multiple aircraft and armament types, as well as multiple blocks of the same aircraft type, can be loaded into a single SmartCan, thorough testing of the TPSs (Test Program Sets) for each aircraft platform/block and AME type is essential to ensure that the SmartCan addresses each item’s unique requirements.
The SmartCan™ Universal O-Level Test Set – Comprehensive Flightline Test in Your Hand The SmartCan is capable of supporting all legacy and smart armament systems on all current and future fighters, bombers, attack, helicopters, and UAS platforms. The handheld SmartCan weighs less than 4 lb, yet incorporates over 30 measurement channels, electronic loads, multiple communications interfaces (MIL-STD-1553, MIL-STD-1760, MMSI (SDB communications), Ethernet, CAN Bus (F-35), RS-232, RS-422, RS-485), video and audio signal generators, and an innovative test language that further reduces development and integration costs.
The SmartCan supports the testing of any Smart weapon interface including the interfaces employed on the JDAM, AIM-120 weapon systems, and other Smart weapons. Importantly, the SmartCan software can be loaded to support multiple blocks and multiple types of aircraft, providing a single flightline test solution for any size fleet, increasing standardization, and reducing the test equipment footprint.
The ability to test and troubleshoot more efficiently, while simplifying the test process and reducing the time to test, plays a significant role in maintaining fleet readiness at less cost. Offering unmatched test capabilities with unrivaled cybersecurity features, the SmartCan can provide support for both current and future generation weapon systems.
