Abstract	The MATE Program instituted by the Air Force (ASD) is of prime importance to the Air Force and industry. It opens many opportunities for innovative integrated logistic approaches to ATE which have been missing in the past. It promises tremendous monetary savings to the Air Force while improving timeliness of support to maintain maximum availability of aircraft and avionics. Essential to the success of the MATE Program is the acceptance by the Air Force and industry of the MATE concept. It has become evident, especially in the early stages of the project, that MATE is not generally understood. There have been mis understandings ranging from MATE as a universal test system to it being an add-on to existing test sets. Some view the program with respect to specific level of maintenance and/or elimination of intermediate maintenance level, others believe it is a battle of commercial test equipment vs. MIL-spec support systems, etc. The MATE Program as viewed by Westinghouse is the development of management tools based upon surveys, studies and analysis using proven ex perience, both good and bad, by which the Air Force can manage ATE and ATE support costs for future avionic systems from their conception through their planned operational life cycle. The approach is to develop a set of guides that are oriented to permit the configuration of support systems using MATE modules which are tailored to the overall individual project ob jectives. The approach by Westinghouse is to develop a confidence level of acceptance by both the Air Force and industry in the integration of inno vative application of both present and develop ing techniques. Industry participation is an essential element of the MATE program. The orator's presentation of the Westinghouse approach to MATE will be primarily directed to better inform the military/industry of the MATE impact on the support community.
