1. Status Update of ADIRU Renovations
The ADIRU renovation project progresses steadily, currently at approximately 60% completion. We anticipate reaching a significant milestone in May, aiming to finalize the renovation with the goal of full operational capability by year-end. Noteworthy is the imminent arrival of ATTEC7 by the end of April, marking a crucial step forward, followed by the arrival of Honeywell TPS by the end of May. As we transition into June, preparations will escalate, driving us closer to realizing our renovation objectives. This will set the stage for the final step, First Article Inspection (FAI) preparation, tentatively scheduled for June or July of this year.
2. Preparations for the ADIRU Implementation
We’re actively preparing for the imminent ADIRU capability deployment through a comprehensive training program. Our focus begins with the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) starting on March 15th, followed by crucial ATTEC7 machine training sessions in Toulouse, France & Clearwater, Florida, throughout March. Over the subsequent two weeks, intensive product training will concentrate on Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). We’re diligently preparing for the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), ensuring adherence to stringent requirements for the system’s quality and reliability. These preparations will ensure a confident and competent launch of the new ADIRU capability.
3. ADIRU Equipment
- Our ADIRU project relies on cutting-edge equipment like ATTEC7 for renovation and testing, ensuring precision and efficiency.
- The Test Unit Adapter (TUA) facilitates seamless communication among ADIRU components, while the Test Program Suite (TPS) automates testing processes, enhancing accuracy and project success.
4. Primary Challenge of the ADIRU Project
Primary challenge:
One of the main challenges we face with the upcoming ADIRU capability is the novelty of the technology involved. Adiru represents a new technology for our engineering team, familiarity and expertise may initially be limited. To overcome this hurdle, comprehensive training initiatives have been implemented. Through the training, our engineers provided with the necessary knowledge and skills to navigate the ADIRU technology effectively. There also allows us to stay ahead of the curve and adapt swiftly to emerging challenges.
Key criteria for vendor selection:
When choosing vendors for our ADIRU project, we consider two main factors:
1. Their proven record success
2. Their ability to offer thorough support and training.
We prefer vendors with a proven track record with us to reduce risks and improve efficiency. Furthermore, we require vendors to not only supply quality products but also provide us with the knowledge and skills needed to maximize the ADIRU’s performance and lifespan.
