The U.S. Navy's TIH program requires long term information reporting and data support. We continuously innovate both processes and technologies to arrive at a product that provides data reporting of unmatched quality more quickly.

 

The U.S. Navy requires the TIH contractor to provide a list of lowest replaceable units (LRUs), by platform, per technology insertion (TI). In the early days of PDA Engineering’s involvement it was relatively easy to maintain the list in an Excel workbook – it was just a handful of platforms and one TI cycle (TI-16/18). In the contracts for TI-20/22, however, the workbook became unwieldy and it became difficult for PDA to provide accurate data in a timely manner.

 

We needed to expand the capabilities of our engineering configuration and data management tool. The IPS staff, in close collaboration with the technical staff, identified requirements and worked with the developer to create an end-to-end component-based application that ties engineering and support data together, thereby preserving data integrity throughout the program. Additionally, the data is tagged to facilitate real time data extraction, allowing the IPS staff to create accurate, up to date LRU lists at the push of a button.
