Description
Description — Integrated Family Of Test Equipment (IFTE)
The Department of Defense (DoD) has designated the Integrated Family of Test Equipment (IFTE), comprised of the Maintenance Support Device (MSD) and the Next Generation Automatic Test System (NGATS), as the authorized Army standard for field and sustainment maintenance. MSD provides at-system automatic test and diagnostic support and the NGATS consolidates off-system automatic test and diagnostic equipment requirements. The IFTE systems provide electronic fault isolation, diagnostic and repair capabilities and reduce intermittent weapon system electronic faults at all levels of maintenance and do it more cost effectively than system-specific testers. They provide state-of-the-art test and diagnostic capabilities, reducing costs and logistics footprints while providing the Warfighter fix-forward capability for current and future weapon systems in Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). The systems are designed to support the Cross-Functional Teams (CFT) in the Army Futures Command (AFC) as they mature in accordance with the DoD Automatic Test System (ATS) Strategy. The MSD fleet consists of rugged and non-rugged/light man-portable general purpose at-platform automatic test systems that perform quick diagnoses and fault isolation for more than 70 Army weapon systems. A critical logistics enabler, essential for performance of at-system maintenance at field level, MSD-V4 is the only cyber-compliant and standard means to test and diagnose at combat platforms and update platform software. It hosts interactive electronic technical manuals and electronic technical manuals (IETM and ETM) and functional software to verify weapon system operational status. It also provides a standard software loader/verifier capability that enables weapon system mission accuracy and cybersecurity. Ground maintainers rely exclusively on the MSD along with the Wireless At-platform Test Set (WATS) to quickly test, diagnose and verify the operational status of diesel engine type systems. As an enabler for Predictive Logistics, MSD is the "Maintainers Weapon." The WATS (when used in conjunction with the MSD, Diagnostic Software-Viper, and vehicle/equipment ETMs/IETMs) provides the 91 and 88L Series Military Occupational Specialties with the diagnostic tools to support the Army's 250,000 ground vehicle and watercraft fleet. WATS consists of wireless and wired vehicle diagnostic adapters with a full spectrum of diagnostic tests as well as real-time fault data collection. The MSDs are being fielded to support approved Army force structure requirements with CFT linkage to Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF); Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV); Future Vertical Lift (FVL); Network Command, Control, Communication and Intelligence (NC3I); Air and Missile Defense (AMD); and Soldier Lethality. They will host the Digital Logbook and Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-A) software, provide Army maintainers the capability to connect to the logistics enterprise, and perform maintenance management in an information-enabled environment. They are an essential maintenance tool in the support plans for the Army's ground vehicle and aviation fleets and are in widespread use in deployed units. The NGATS is a mobile, rapidly deployable, reconfigurable general-purpose automatic test and diagnostic system which provides field and sustainment level maintenance, fault isolation, diagnostics, testing and repair directly to the Army's current and future major weapons systems in order to maintain the readiness and availability of those combat systems. NGATS is Joint Services Next-Generation Test (NxTest) compliant and includes interservice testing and diagnostic support capability. It is the single automatic test and diagnostic solution in the Army, incrementally replacing the Direct Support Electrical Systems Test Set (DSESTS), all previous IFTE Base Shop Test Facility versions, and depot system-specific automatic test equipment thus reducing the logistics footprint and associated support costs. It is the platform for transitioning Agile Rapid Global Combat Support System (ARGCS) technologies into the Army's weapon system support structure. The ARGCS Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) was sponsored by the DoD, and all Services are expected to transition demonstrated technologies into their ATS programs. Current NGATS capabilities support Abrams, Bradley, Common Remotely Operated Weapons Station (CROWS), Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RCIED) Electronic Warfare (CREW)/Duke, Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS), and Mounted Family of Computer Systems (MFoCS), with developments ongoing for Blackhawk, M777, LRPF Paladin Extended Range Cannon-Artillery (ERC-A), Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) in the Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) CFT. Army Acquisition Objective (AAO): MSD - 34,074; WATS - 10,786; NGATS - 158
Justification
Justification — Integrated Family Of Test Equipment (IFTE)
FY 2026 Base procurement dollars of $38.784 million will fund acquisition of 6 Next Generation Automatic Test Systems (NGATS), 930 Maintenance Support Devices (MSD) and 280 Wireless At-Platform Test Sets (WATS) to support Base requirements and test and diagnostic equipment to reduce intermittent weapon system electronic faults. A Base quantity of 1210 accurately portrays system cost rather than the current quantity of 1562 listed on the P40. The procurements will satisfy critical test and diagnostic requirements of Army warfighting systems and support a balanced investment strategy for the Army's approved force structure requirements. Acquisition of the NGATS will continue deployment of a multi-purpose, multi-echelon off-platform automatic test and diagnostic capability to support many of the Army's weapons platforms such as Abrams, Bradley, Common Remotely Operated Weapons Station (CROWS), Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RCIED) Electronic Warfare (CREW)/Duke, Husky Mounted Detection System (HMDS), and Mounted Family of Computer Systems (MFoCS), with developments ongoing for Blackhawk, M777, Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) Paladin Extended Range Cannon-Artillery (ERC-A), Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) in the Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV) CFT, Avenger and Multiple Launch Rocket System and to achieve the stated Department of Defense (DoD) goal of replacing multiple single function, aging, obsolete and costly automatic test systems with a single tester capable of supporting all weapons systems at field, sustainment and depot maintenance levels. The FY 2026 funding will support sustainment level maintenance modernization. This funding also implements the net-centric logistics capability ensuring maintenance data is leveraged at all support levels through a closed loop data sharing architecture that supports the future logistics concepts as well as improved diagnostics by linking embedded diagnostics and Predictive Logistics. Acquisition of the MSDs will satisfy approved Army force structure requirements. This equipment provides critical test, and diagnostics support for weapons and support systems such as the Abrams, Bradley, Stryker, Blackhawk, Chinook, Apache, Patriot, the Army's diesel-powered tactical wheeled vehicles, and watercraft. In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), this item is necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities.

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
