Description
The MTS-3060A SmartCan™ Gen2 is the most advanced flightline armament test set available, capable of testing all Alternate Mission Equipment (AME) and Aircraft Armament Equipment (AAE) including pylons, launchers, bomb racks, and pods, as well as providing missile and munitions emulation/simulation capabilities. Unlike other flightline test sets, the SmartCan is capable of performing all pre-load and functional checkouts through weapons emulation. Addressing an armament test gap that exists across legacy 4th and 5th generation aircraft equipped with “Smart” weapon technology (MIL-STD-1760), the MTS-3060A enables support for any platform and any Smart or legacy armament system. The SmartCan can now also be used for munitions testing and programming.
Munition Testing and Programming
The MTS-3060A tests platforms through missile/munition emulation and can also be used as a Smart weapons simulator. Additionally, the SmartCan can be used as a missile/munition tester with the addition of a power supply to the kit.
Laser and infrared (IR) guided munitions testing at the shop or at the flightline is further simplified when the rugged, handheld SmartCan is utilized to test and reprogram the missile/munition. The test capability is applicable to legacy missiles (not MIL-STD-1760 compatible) while Smart, 1760-based missiles and munitions can be tested and reprogrammed.
The basic missile test can be enhanced when the SmartCan is used in conjunction with infrared and laser source simulators to further test the seeker. Pairing the handheld MT1812 Infrared Target Simulator and/or MT1888 Laser Source Simulator with the SmartCan enhances multi-role airmen effectiveness by delivering a comprehensive munitions test solution that reduces test time, training demands and logistics footprint.
Features
This innovative handheld instrument incorporates over 30 measurement channels, electronic loads, communications interfaces (MIL-STD-1553, MMSI, Ethernet, CAN Bus, RS-485), dedicated/continuous multiple squib circuit monitoring, and audio/video signal generators to deliver functionality typically associated with much larger test sets, in a rugged package that weighs just 4.2lbs.
Log files for each weapon can easily be moved or copied to a computer for printing and predictive maintenance analysis. Alternatively, data can be accessed via a removable SD card; this feature is especially important when failures occur and the availability of data for further analysis is critical to facilitate timely repair of the aircraft.
Power Management
An innovative power management system allows operation of the SmartCan for over 40 hours, without the need to replace or recharge the AA batteries. This extended operation is achieved using sleep mode and by drawing power from the auxiliary mission equipment when available.
Display
The high-resolution sunlight-readable LCD display, with multi-function keys, simplifies use, provides access to more functionality, and displays more test instructions and test information than any other O-Level test set.
During tests, the display’s background color indicates test status with green denoting a passing test and red denoting a failed test sequence. The LCD can also display the actual test results of the last test run.
Built-In-Test and Self-Test
The MTS-3060A incorporates a Built-In-Test (BIT) that provides verification of major circuit functionality. A comprehensive Self-Test, utilizing the supplied self-test adapter and cables, quickly verifies the SmartCan’s performance.
BIT and Self-Test can be performed at the flightline or at the backshop; no special external test equipment is required other than the self-test adapter.
Unrivaled Cybersecurity
Extensive cybersecurity features, both hardware and software, make this the most cybersecure O-Level test set available. The removable SD card is the only memory available; when removed, the SmartCan is effectively sanitized and contains no TPS code or saved test data. External system access from other interfaces, such as USB drives, is not available.
The ATEasy Test Executive and Development Environment, utilized for TPS development, is designed to comply with DOD Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) requirements. Access control, user privileges, DLL encryption, data encryption, as well as other safeguards, ensure a secure, reliable operating platform.
Calibration
The MTS-3060A SmartCan™ employs an innovative calibration technique that further simplifies maintenance and reduces scheduled down-time and associated logistics. Multiple NIST traceable, high-precision references have been incorporated into the design of the SmartCan; calibration status is then verified against these references on power-up.
The test set initiates an automated calibration procedure, when energized, that verifies the MTS-3060A's measurement and stimuli circuits against the built-in references. The references must be verified every (4) years using standard NIST traceable instrumentation. This can be performed in the field, eliminating the need to remove the SmartCan from the field, simplifying logistics and support required from metrology services.
Rugged Construction
The rugged construction of the SmartCan, when combined with the ability to operate in adverse weather conditions, enables field operation anywhere in the world making this the ultimate tool for flightline test. Additional protection has been included to minimize equipment damage due to shock and impact.
Ergonomically designed for ease of use, the SmartCan includes quick release straps to hang/secure the instrument during operation and protective non-metallic side guards to limit movement on angled surfaces.
TPS Development
MTS-3060A Test Program Sets (TPSs) are developed using
ATEasy® , MTS' award-winning Test Executive and Integrated Development Suite. ATEasy is a full featured test development and test executive environment and provides all of the tools for developing, encrypting and loading test programs onto the MTS-3060A.
The SmartCan TPS development package, SmartCanEasy, provides customers with the ability to develop and integrate new test procedures and programs using the most cybersecure environment available.
