The
Countermeasures Dispatcher (CDT) is a universal self contained, battery
powered flight line tester.
The CDT improves aircraft readiness by performing
fast and reliable flight line safety and functional checks of the Counter- Measures
Dispenser System.
The CDT tester is compatible with the ALE-47, ALE-45
and ALE-40, and variants of these systems. It replaces the U.S. Air Force AN/ALM-176
Stray-Voltage Test Set, the AN/ALM-177 Dispenser Test Set and the Flight Line
Payload Simulator.
Two CDT units are contained in each carrying case,
making it a "one man carry" test set, known as the Countermeasures Dispenser Set
Test Set (CDSTS) AN/ALM-288.
Flight Line tests are performed by installing
a CDT into each dispenser on the aircraft. An alphanumeric display provides the
results of the test. |
