Chassis 5 of the AIM-4A guidance system has exhibited a high failure rate. With the primary purpose of improving the reliability of Chassis 5, Warner Robins Air Materiel Area (WRAMA) authorized ARINC Research Corporation to redesign the chassis, replacing the vacuum tubes with solid-state devices as the active elements in the circuits. The design goal was a module that is directly interchangeable with the vacuum tube chassis. This objective required the conversion of presently available, tube-oriented, power-supply levels within the chassis to voltage levels suitable for powering semiconductors circuits.
