Army Maintenance for its weapons system, has radically changed over the last 20 years, primarily as a result of the changing technology base which it utilizes. From an era of large and hard, it must now deal with small and soft. This is especially borne out in the testing and diagnostic support arena. Software (Test Program Sets) and its associated ATE are now the big cost drivers. Software is now the area where the talent search is focused. Software is the element that will dictate the future of operational field readiness. To cope with the new 'bear', a complete new set of rules must be developed and adopted, and to make these rules workable an efficient, new techniques and, finally, new policy/procedures must be utilized. Many of the elements required are available, and those missing can be developed. What remains then is the total integration and final implementation. It will take the combined efforts of both industry and Department of Defense, but it can be done.
