ABSTRACT:
A test system and a method for testing the final stages of a submarine wen fire control system so as to obtain a complete end-to-end test of the submarine weapon fire control system. The test system includes a launchable test vehicle that can be inserted and launched from a launch tube such as a torpedo launch tube. The test vehicle is the same size and shape as standard launchable vehicles of the type to be tested and preferably includes actual fleet replacement standard components. The test vehicle includes a data recorder that passively records a plurality of signals including power related signals, power crossover signals, preset information, launch sequence information, processor record data, and the like. The test system also includes a data extractor that is used to extract data from the test vehicle in between launches from subsequent launch tubes. The data extractor connects to an umbilical connection on the test vehicle that is normally broken during each launch. The data extractor is portable and includes a portable computer and power supply. The data extractor can be used to present much of the above data for immediate view with respect to time. Quantitative analysis of the data can be made at a later time as desired.
