The Air Vehicle Stores Compatibility Division (AVSCD) Airborne Expendable Countermeasures (AECM) Integrated Product Team (IPT) (4.11.2.3) at NAWCAD, Patuxent River, MD, has formed an efficient working relationship with its primary sponsor, PMA-272J3. From ground and flight testing of innovative expendables to Lot acceptance testing, the AECM IPT team gets and stays involved in every step of the development/testing process. This ensures that the products being delivered to the fleet are not only cost effective, but also more importantly, safe and user friendly. The primary duty of the AECM IPT is to evaluate the flight test separation characteristics of new expendables. The AECM IPT conducts flight and ground testing through all phases of the acquisition cycle. Once the items are in the fleet, the AECM IPT continues it involvement in the form of Lot Acceptance Testing (LAT) and more importantly, Produce Improvement Programs (PIPs). These PIP's are extremely vital, as no amount of testing can provide the data that real world use and lessons learned provide. By incorporating these processes into future design changes, the items returning to the fleet provide increased warfighter survivability protection, which is the ultimate goal of the AECM IPT.
