Abstract

Not Available SBIR N99-102, Automated Test & Integation Methods for COTS Hardware & Software Components, seeks an innovative approach to testing COTS using a Hot Box or alternative concept for pre-integration testing. The solution is expected to: 1. Reduce logistics material and testing associated with Combat System supportability. 2. Result in a significant cost and time savings to the Navy logistics supportability system. Under the proposed Phase I effort, experienced BCO Inc. engineers will 1) Select a representative Combat Support System for analysis such as the Non- Propulsion System of the Virginia Class Submarine, 2) Perform a Test Requirements Analysis of the COTS components associated with pre-integration automated testing 3) Define the requirements and architecture for the Hotbox Tester and Test Software and 4) Determine the supportability benefits and versatility of this approach. The option phase will include a modest demonstration of critical technologies. The BCO, Inc. personnel are uniquely qualified to perform this task because of extensive experience in COTS VMEbus Systems, board/system testability, test software, automated test equipment, and system software development. Our experience transcends VMEbus architecture to include VXI, 1553, ethernet and other bus architectures. This experience gives us a unique perspective to solving the Combat System supportability problem.
