NOVEMBER 2000
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Navy Training System Plan (NTSP) has been developed to identify the life cycle manpower, personnel, and training requirements associated with the AN/AYK-14(V) Standard Airborne Computer. The AN/AYK-14(V) was developed to perform a wide range of data processing functions while operating as a component part of a weapon system. The computer features a family of modules and chassis that can be used in unlimited combination. The AN/AYK-14(V) was introduced into the fleet as installed avionics on new production aircraft and through a retrofit program for established aircraft starting in 1982. The AN/AYK-14(V) is currently installed in the AV-8B, E-2C, EA-6B, EP-3E, F-14D, and F/A-18 aircraft, the SH-60B Helicopter, and the AN/SPN-46 Automatic Carrier Landing System. The AN/AYK-14(V) is post Milestone III Decision Point and in Acquisition Phase III (Production, Deployment, and Operational Support) of the Weapon System Acquisition Process.
The AN/AYK-14(V) is completely automatic in operation once power has been applied and requires no operator.
Organizational maintenance of the AN/AYK-14(V) is performed by Aviation Electronics Technicians (AT) with applicable aircraft Navy Enlisted Classifications (NEC) and Marine Corps personnel with applicable aircraft Military Occupational Specialties (MOS). Intermediate maintenance of the AN/AYK-14(V) is performed by ATs with NEC 6612 or NEC 6686 and Marine Corps personnel with MOS 6413. General Dynamics Information Systems, Bloomington, Minnesota, and the Naval Aviation Depot, North Island, California, are the designated depot level repair points for the AN/AYK-14(V). Manpower associated with the AN/AYK-14(V) is at a steady state and will not increase or decrease.
All initial training associated with the AN/AYK-14(V) has been completed. Follow-on organizational level maintenance training for the AN/AYK-14(V) is provided as part of the aircraft avionics systems organizational level maintenance course, and is addressed in the specific aircraft NTSP. Formal follow-on intermediate maintenance training for Navy ATs has been established and is currently available at MTU 1039 Naval Air Maintenance Unit (NAMTRAU) Oceana, Virginia, and at MTU 1038 NAMTRAU Lemoore, California. Follow-on intermediate maintenance training for Marine Corps personnel is accomplished through On-the-Job Training.

D. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. Operational Uses. The AN/AYK-14(V) Standard Airborne Computer, hereafter referred to as the AN/AYK-14(V), was developed to perform a wide range of data processing functions while operating as a component part of airborne systems. The AN/AYK-14(V) is installed in the AV-8B, E-2C, EA-6B, EP-3E, F-14D, and F/A-18 aircraft and the SH-60B Helicopter. Information regarding the specific employment of the AN/AYK-14(V) in each of these weapons systems can be found in the individual aircraft NTSP listed in Part I, paragraph M of this document. Additionally, the AN/AYK-14(V) is installed as part of the AN/SPN-46 Automatic Carrier Landing System (ACLS). The AN/SPN-46 ACLS NTSP, E-50-8206E/A, dated November 1999, addresses the manpower, personnel, and training requirements associated with the AN/SPN-46 ACLS, therefore, this information will not be duplicated in this document.
2. Foreign Military Sales. The AN/AYK-14(V) has been obtained by countries through Foreign Military Sales (FMS). For specific information concerning these FMS cases, refer to the program office, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM), Program Manager, Air (PMA)209.
E. DEVELOPMENTAL TEST AND OPERATIONAL TEST. No Technical Evaluation (TECHEVAL) or Operational Evaluation (OPEVAL) was performed on the three configurations of the AN/AYK-14(V) as a stand-alone entity. TECHEVAL and OPEVAL of the systems using the AN/AYK-14(V) were completed by aircraft type. Evaluation of AN/AYK-14(V) Engineering Change Proposals (ECP) have been and will continue to be conducted by aircraft type. AN/AYK-14(V) ECP TECHEVAL and OPEVAL status is addressed in the applicable aircraft NTSP.
F. AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT/SYSTEM/SUBSYSTEM REPLACED. The AN/AYK-14(V) replaced the AN/AYQ-6A computer in the AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System used in the EA-6B aircraft and earlier versions of the AN/AYK-14(V) in the F-14D, AV-8B, and F/A-18 aircraft.
G. DESCRIPTION OF NEW DEVELOPMENT
1. Functional Description. The AN/AYK-14(V) is a family of micro-programmed, general-purpose, 16-bit computers featuring a performance range of 400,000 to 1.2 million operations per second. The AN/AYK-14(V) was designed to operate in environments prescribed by MIL-E-5400. The computer features a high degree of functional and mechanical modularity designed for flexible growth and extensive hardware commonality over a wide range of applications. The AN/AYK-14(V) display architecture that is observed by the user is not affected by modular hardware configuration changes, permitting common firmware and support software for all users. The functional modules communicate via two identical internal buses. These high-speed, 24-bit parallel buses are the principal data transfer paths between processing modules, memory control, and the Input-Output channels. Additional interrupt and event control signals are transmitted via the event bus. Common module interfaces permit flexible module configurations and ensure that the addition of new module types will not require modifications to existing module or chassis types.
2. Physical Description
a. Weapon Replaceable Assembly. The AN/AYK-14(V) is a Weapon Replaceable Assembly (WRA) that is connected to other WRAs or subsystems by quick-disconnect cables. Except for the cooling fan power, all cabling connectors are on the front panel; for those configurations using fan cooling, the connector is located on the rear of the enclosure. The physical dimensions and weight of the AN/AYK-14(V) vary according to the application and configuration. The following table lists current program WRA configurations and their physical descriptions:

b. Shop Replaceable Assemblies. Shop Replaceable Assemblies (SRA) mount in slots machined into the enclosure walls. The SRA locations are numbered and labeled from the enclosure front to back. Modules and enclosures contain provisions for keying to prevent improper module insertion into the enclosure. The modules, except power modules, consist of one or more multi-layered epoxy fiberglass-base printed wiring boards containing up to 140 surface-mounted electronic components. AN/AYK-14(V) SRA modules are nine inches long, six inches high, range from 0.45 to 1.45 inches wide, and weigh between 1.1 and 3.1 pounds. SRA power modules are 9.0 inches wide, 7.1 inches high, range from 14.0 to 24.88 inches long, and weigh between 12.0 and 24.5 pounds. A detailed listing of all AN/AYK-14(V) SRAs and their physical dimensions is contained in the User's Logistics Support Summary (ULSS) identified in Part I, paragraph M. of this NTSP.
3. New Development Introduction. The AN/AYK-14(V) computer family spans three generations. The first generation AN/AYK-14(V) was introduced in 1979, followed by the second generation Pre-Planned Product Improvement Program (P3I) AN/AYK-14(V) in 1988, and the third generation VHSIC Processor AN/AYK-14(V) in 1992. All three generation AN/AYK-14(V)s were introduced as installed avionics on new production aircraft and through a retrofit program for established aircraft. AN/AYK-14(V) upgrades and modifications addressed in ECPs will be introduced as Avionics Changes (AVC) to the specific Type, Model, Series (TMS) aircraft affected. These AVCs are addressed in the applicable aircraft NTSP. The following table identifies active AN/AYK-14(V) ECPs.

4. Significant Interfaces. The AN/AYK-14(V) Serial Interface Module has a dual-bus interface that provides communication between the computer and the external system. The dual-bus interface provides system redundancy when both buses connect to the same external equipment, although only one bus is active at a time. Sole control of information transmission on these buses resides with the operating bus controller. The AN/AYK-14(V) can be used in the following types of airborne systems: mission control, weapons delivery, navigation, radar control, flight control, electronic warfare, pilot display subsystems, and Anti-Submarine Warfare.
5. New Features, Configurations, or Material. Not Applicable (NA)
H. CONCEPTS
1. Operational Concept. AN/AYK-14(V) WRAs are designed as computational units and do not include an operator panel. The AN/AYK-14(V) is completely automatic in operation once aircraft power has been applied. The AN/AYK-14(V) has no pilot or user adjustments; therefore, no operator is required.
2. Maintenance Concept. AN/AYK-14(V) maintenance is performed in accordance with the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program, OPNAVINST 4790.2 series, which is based on three levels of maintenance; organizational, intermediate, and depot. Specific details on the various configurations of the AN/AYK-14(V) are provided in the AN/AYK-14(V) Maintenance Plan, AVMP-0208I, dated 1 June 1999.
a. Organizational. Organizational level maintenance of the AN/AYK-14(V) is performed by Aviation Electronics Technicians (AT), with applicable aircraft Navy Enlisted Classifications (NEC) and Marine Corps personnel with applicable aircraft Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) assigned to the Electronics Branch, Work Center 210, or the Troubleshooter Branch, Work Center 320. Organizational level maintenance is limited to corrosion control and troubleshooting enhanced by the use of computerized fault detection and isolation equipment and procedures.
(1) Preventive Maintenance. Preventive maintenance is limited to on-aircraft corrosion control.
(2) Corrective Maintenance. Corrective maintenance consists of removing and replacing faulty WRAs. Fault indications are displayed on a front panel Built-In Test indicator.
b. Intermediate. Intermediate maintenance of the AN/AYK-14(V) consists of fault isolation to the SRA level and replacement of the faulty SRA. Intermediate maintenance of AN/AYK-14(V) computers used in Navy EA-6B, EP-3E, F-14D, and F/A-18 aircraft, and SH-60B helicopters is performed by Navy ATs with NEC 6612, TACAN/Radio Navigation Equipment Intermediate Maintenance Activity (IMA) Technician, using either the AN/ASM-704 Modified Computer Diagnostic Test Set (MCDTS) or the AN/ASM-667 Computer Test Set (CTS), in conjunction with the AN/ASM-607(V)7 Memory Loader Verifier (MLV) and an SRA Isolation Diagnostics (SRAID) program. Intermediate maintenance of AN/AYK-14(V) computers used in Navy E-2C aircraft is performed by ATs with NEC 6686, AN/USM-429 Computerized Automatic Tester (CAT)-IIID Maintenance Technician, using the AN/USM-429 CAT-IIID. Intermediate maintenance of AN/AYK-14(V) computers used in Marine Corps AV-8B, EA-6B, and F/A-18 aircraft is performed by Marine Corps Avionics Maintenance Technicians with MOS 6413.

c. Depot. General Dynamics Information Systems (GDIS), Bloomington, Minnesota, and Naval Aviation Depot (NADEP), North Island, California, are the designated repair points for the AN/AYK-14(V). GDIS is capable of repairing all configurations of the AN/AYK-14(V) and NADEP North Island has repair capabilities for some first and second-generation computers.
3. Manning Concept. The AN/AYK-14(V) alone does not drive any organizational level maintenance billets. AN/AYK-14(V) maintenance is part of the composite workload at the organizational level as driven by each aircraft squadron's Required Operating Capability/Projected Operating Environment. Refer to specific squadron Activity Manpower Documents or aircraft NTSPs for AT billet information. Marine Corps organizational level maintenance manpower requirements are addressed in the applicable squadron Table of Organization. At the intermediate level, Navy ATs with NEC 6612 and 6686 maintain the AN/AYK-14(V) along with similar related systems. Manpower requirements for ATs with NEC 6686 are addressed in the AN/USM-429 CAT III NTSP. IMA billet data for ATs with NEC 6612 was obtained from the Total Force Manpower Management System (TFMMS) and was used as the basis to determine student throughput in Parts II and III of this NTSP. Since the primary responsibility of ATs with NEC 6612 is the repair of TACAN and radio navigation equipment, only the billets at activities supporting the AN/AYK-14(V) are addressed in this NTSP. Intermediate maintenance of AN/AYK-14(V) computers used in Marine Corps aircraft is performed by Marine Corps Avionics Maintenance Technicians with MOS 6413. Marine Corps personnel with MOS 6413 acquire the skills required to perform AN/AYK-14 intermediate maintenance through On-the-Job Training (OJT) and, therefore, are not included in Parts II and III of this NTSP.
4. Training Concept
a. Initial Training. The AN/AYK-14(V) is a mature system. All initial training was completed over two decades ago.
b. Follow-on Training
(1) Operator. NA
(2) Organizational Maintenance. Organizational level maintenance training for the AN/AYK-14(V) is provided by Maintenance Training Units (MTU) at Naval Air Maintenance Training Group Detachments (NAMTRAGRU DET) and Marine Corps Fleet Replacement Enlisted Skills Training (FREST) locations as part of the avionics systems organizational level maintenance courses. Organizational level maintenance training is addressed in the specific aircraft NTSPs identified in Part I, paragraph M. of this NTSP.

I. ONBOARD (IN-SERVICE) TRAINING
1. Proficiency or Other Training Organic to the New Development
a. Maintenance Training Improvement Program. The Maintenance Training Improvement Program (MTIP) is used to establish an effective and efficient training system responsive to fleet training requirements. MTIP is a training management tool that, through diagnostic testing, identifies individual training deficiencies at the organizational and intermediate levels of maintenance. MTIP is the comprehensive testing of one's knowledge. It consists of a bank of test questions managed through automated data processing. The Deputy Chief of Staff for Training assisted in development of MTIP by providing those question banks (software) already developed by the Navy. MTIP was implemented per OPNAVINST 4790.2 series. MTIP allows increased effectiveness in the application of training resources through identification of skills and knowledge deficiencies at the activity, work center, or individual technician level. Refresher training is concentrated where needed to improve identified skill and knowledge shortfalls. MTIP will be replaced by the Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System (AMTCS). Current planning is for AMTCS to begin implementation for fleet deployment in March 2001.
Commander Naval Air Force U.S. Pacific Fleet has discontinued using MTIP. They are currently using maintenance data products as a source to determine maintenance training deficiencies until AMTCS is implemented.
b. Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System. AMTCS will provide career path training to the Sailor or Marine from their initial service entry to the end of their military career. AMTCS is planned to be an integrated system that will satisfy the training and administrative requirements of both the individual and the organization. The benefits will be manifested in the increased effectiveness of the technicians and the increased efficiencies of the management of the training business process. By capitalizing on technological advances and integrating systems and processes where appropriate, the right amount of training can be provided at the right time, thus meeting the CNO's mandated "just-in-time" training approach.
Technology investments enable the development of several state-of-the-art training and administrative tools: Computer-Based Training for the technicians in the Fleet in the form of Interactive Courseware with Computer Managed Instruction and Computer Aided Instruction for the schoolhouse.
Included in the AMTCS development effort is the Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System - Software Module that provides testing test and evaluation, recording Electronic Training Jacket, and a Feedback system. The core functionality of these AMTCS tools are based and designed around the actual maintenance-related tasks the technicians perform, and the tasks are stored and maintained in a Master Task List data bank. These tools are procured and fielded with appropriate Commercial Off-The-Shelf hardware and software, i.e., Fleet Training Devices, laptops, personnel computers, Electronic Classrooms, Learning Resource Centers, operating software, and network software and hardware.
Upon receipt of direction from OPNAV (N889H), AMTCS is to be implemented and the new tools integrated into the daily training environment of all participating aviation activities and supporting elements. AMTCS will serve as the standard training system for aviation maintenance training within the Navy and Marine Corps, and is planned to supersede the existing MTIP and Maintenance Training Management and Evaluation Program (MATMEP) programs.
2. Personnel Qualification Standards. NA
3. Other Onboard or In-Service Training Packages. Marine Corps onboard training is based on the current series of MCO P4790.12, Individual Training Standards System and MATMEP. This program is designed to meet Marine Corps, as well as Navy OPNAVINST 4790.2 series, maintenance training requirements. It is a performance-based, standardized, level-progressive, documentable, training management and evaluation program. It identifies and prioritizes task inventories by MOS through a front-end analysis process that identifies task, skill, and knowledge requirements of each MOS. MTIP questions coupled to MATMEP tasks will help identify training deficiencies that can be enhanced with refresher training. MATMEP is scheduled to be replaced by AMTCS beginning in the second quarter Fiscal Year (FY) 01.
