Benefits:

• It is better suited for COTS electronic equipment – data rights are extremely expensive
• PinPoint II offers US AWACS a potential Life-cycle cost avoidance in excess of $22M if all digital SRUs have TPS developed (to-date, 72 completed out of 158)
• Greatly accelerates the current rehost schedule for AWACS due to the minimal programming time required.

The AWACS owned PinPoint systems are part of the Official Repair capability at Robins AFB, GA. The majority of AWACS repairs are performed in Building 640 where the four PinPoint II systems are located.

Proving the PinPoint Capability
Mr. Robichaud asked DiagnoSYS to prove that their system could do the job. DiagnoSYS was provided with a known good (Condition “A”) digital SRU (Shop Replaceable Unit) to develop a TPS (Test Program Set). Less than a week later, Mr. Tom Popolo, Director of Military Sales for North America, called and said it was ready. Mr. Robichaud armed with a defective SRU (Condition “F”) and a GSM-285 printout of the failed component(s) traveled to Florida. . . . . .more
