The purpose of this qualification operational test and evaluation (QOT and E) was to evaluate the ability of the F-16 20mm ALS to upload/download A-7D aircraft. Testing included uploading/downloading of 20mm ammunition on A-7D aircraft during normal day-to-day operations and during simulated combat conditions. A portion of the test was conducted with load crews wearing chemical warfare defense ensembles (CWDE). Specific Objectives are: Operational Effectiveness--to assess the capability of the F-16 ALS to upload/download ammunition into/from the A-7D aircraft; To assess the interoperability of the ALS with both the A-7D gun system and the modified replenisher, and To assess the capability of the modified replenisher to replenish the loader. Operational Suitability--Specific suitability objectives were not evaluated during this test. On site observations of some suitability areas (equipment failures, technical data, human factors, and chemical defense) were performed.
