The DoD maintainers will also use the MSD-V2 system to host Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals and/or specific application software and to upload/download mission data or software. It will also be used to replace at-system testers which have become mission incapable. The MSD-V2 System will be comprised of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software and hardware together with system specific interconnecting cables. The heart of the system is a computer capable of performing specified tests on d ifferent weapon systems through the systems? IETMs and adding or changing PCMCIA cards with appropriate connecting test cables and interconnecting boxes. The MSD-V2 Kit with the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Test Adapter Kit test capability replaces bo th the Contact Test Set (CTS) with ICE and Simplified Test Equipment-ICE (STE-ICE).
