Abstract:

Maintenance of an ADP system presents some special problems due to the complexity of the machines. As a part of the Armys program, small-size, large-scale computers are planned for placement throughout the Field Army. An increase in combat effectiveness can be achieved if these machines can be maintained while in a tactical environment. This paper identifies several specific maintenance problem areas in which additional work could be initiated to solve some outstanding maintenance problems. It also considers possible solutions to the problem of field repair and highlights some current machine diagnostic efforts and techniques. Author
