The B-1B CTIF was conceived and instituted to reduce B-1B program organic support costs and to consolidate TPS development and integration efforts for approximately 1400 depot units under test at a single site using the US Air Force Modular Automatic Test Equipment (MATE) concept and the Emerson Electric Company (EEC) depot automatic test system for avionics (DATSA). This concept of TPS integration will bring under one facility approximately 20 individual contractors, all with separate B-1B contracts, 22 B-1B DATSA test stations, two DATSA program development stations (PDS), six B-1B intermediate automatic test equipment (IATE), and various compiler supporting systems. The authors discuss all of the functions of CTIF, where it was designed, its organization, overall requirements, training program, facilities and support, and its current status.
