Working under an Air Force Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer Program effort, Total Quality Systems developed a technology to close the gap in the testability of Line Replaceable Units, which provide key aircraft functions.
The automatic test equipment evaluates certain functions of the LRU, including connections, broken wires, fractured solder joints, etc., within the aircraft chassis. Within this LRU itself there are 8,400 circuits that have to be checked, which proved almost impossible to do manually.
IFDIS, the Intermittent Fault Detection Isolation System, solves a very important and key part of the supply chain, keeping weapon systems up in the air. As a result of developing this technology, Total Quality Systems was received several Phase III contracts and the Small Business Administration's Tibbetts Award.
