The fundamental objective of the Digital Avionics Information System (DAIS) Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Study is to provide the Air Force with an enhanced in-house capability to incorporate LCC considerations during all stages of the system acquisition process. The purpose of this report is to describe the technical approach, results and conclusions obtained from a Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA) conducted on a mid-1980s DAIS conceptual design configuration to identify and quantify support maintenance task requirements. This conceptual design configuration is one of two developed as bases for determing the maintenance support requirements of DAIS systems. They are described in AFHRL-TR-76-59, Mid-1980s Digital Avionics Information System Conceptual Design Configuration. The first is representative of an application of the DAIS principles of avionics integration to current avionics equipment. The second represents an application of DAIS principles to equipment expected to be operational in the mid-1980s. An MTA was conducted on the current DAIS conceptual design configuration, AFHRL-TR-76-71, Digital Avionics Information System (DAIS): Current Maintenance Task Analysis. Its results provided a baseline for conducting the MTA reported here. The approach taken was to identify major system design changes and innovative support system capabilities projected to be available in the mid-1980s timeframe, along with major mechanization differences between the two conceptual designs.
