The HPTS system consists of well over Four Hundred (400) Weapon Replaceable Assemblies (WRA), Shop replaceable assemblies (SRA), and Lowest replaceable units (LRU). The utilization of the DMSMS methodology will provide a proactive and on-going tracking and identification of systemic issues caused by DMSMS. The focus of DMSMS effort is on the HPTS as it relates to the E-6B, its associated interfaces, and the peculiar support equipment (PSE) required to maintain the HPTS.
