Abstract:Manual testing is often used in domestic communication navigation equipment, and that testing mode is traditional and inefficient. Therefore, it is necessary to study the general automatic test platform (ATP). The structure of ATP has six levels, with clear hierarchical functions and loosely coupled layers. Based on the typical test system architecture, the hardware platform derives a physical structure suitable for testing communication navigation system. The software platform adopts such design idea of integrating TestStand engine and secondary development. Interface dynamic loading、report and test data binding technology laid the foundation for software frame structured and test report automatic generation. According to the content described in this paper, ATP was successfully developed and applied to projects. Based on ATP, the automatic testing capability of airborne communication navigation equipment from scientific research, production to operation and maintenance has been formed, which built a technical foundation for exploring a new integrated support mode, improving the sustained availability of aircraft and playing a good battle effectiveness.
