TYX is looking forward to making additional deliveries on these major DoD programs this year:

• RTCASS for the US NAVY, Lockheed Martin, and INDRA DTD Consortia.
• IFTE (CEE) for Northrop Grumman.
• TETS for USMC via Mantech Test Systems. We are currently assisting Lockheed in their contract to provide the Electro Optics test capability for TETS.

Recently, Teradyne was selected for this important program. We at TYX wish to congratulate Teradyne and look forward to working with them on this program. With over 1,000 aircraft slated for production in the coming years, this is indeed a major program. We are currently in discussions to integrate Teradyne products and TYX products for this program.

TYX continues to modernize the various platforms in use at the Warner Robins Gyro Test Area. This year we are expecting to provide additional copies of PAWS for this effort. Access Research Corporation, our engineering services subsidiary is involved through the San Antonio Engineering office in the modernization of an additional tester as well.

Our ARC subsidiary is involved in a program to modernize some of the DATSA instrumentation and the attendant software interfaces.

The new tester is scheduled to run a couple of UUT TPS at the end of March. As we go to press, we are pleased to report that this event has occurred. This program has proceeded on schedule, a major milestone for such a complex activity. Completion is in the pipeline for later this year. We show the tester below, as well as the PAWS RTS GUI. The notable item in the GUI is the integrated panel for over temp. conditions, and also the red warning symbols highlighted when the Operator needs notification.

That pretty much covers the action on the majority of the family of DoD Testers in the good ol’ USA.

Subsequent to our delivery late last year, we embarked on a Phase II development and delivery plan for this important program for the Comanche Helicopter. We refer you the article in Avionics magazine in the April 2000 issue that describes this application elegantly, and it even states that the PMA-PIP interface uses the best commercial technology; which of course is nothing other than PAWS!

We refer the reader to the section on R&D efforts to learn about other exciting developments.
