General

Welcome to AUTOTESTCON 2012

This will be the 48th edition of the Systems Readiness Technology Conference that is commonly known as AUTOTESTCON. This major conference and exposition provides focus on the maintenance aspects of systems readiness and providing Mission Assurance through Advanced ATE. This includes Maintenance Repair & Overhaul as well as factory and development automated test equipment. We will gather the military and aerospace industry principals together to share new concepts, technologies and applications in this essential field of supportability and sustainability. We will have the opportunity to see exciting new products from a wide variety of exhibitors, and to meet with senior military and aerospace leaders to discuss their future needs and expectations and the ways in which we can satisfy those needs.

CORRECTED Abstract Deadline: March 31, 2012

Farewell from AUTOTESTCON 2011

Farewell message from the AUTOTESTCON 2011 Committee:

Our volunteer committee was proud to host the 46th AUTOTESTCON at the Baltimore Convention Center from 12 - 15 September. This year's conference featured 264 exhibit booths, 2,000 total attendees and almost 80 superb technical papers presented in 27 sessions. 2011 was one of the most successful AUTOTESTCONs ever held. We appreciate the support from the 146 different exhibiting companies and organizations. And we are especially appreciative of the fine efforts of the US Army, Marine Corps and Navy which enabled us to display NGATS and RTCASS stations in their operational environments.

Hope to see you in Anaheim next September.

AUTOTESTCON 2012

AUTOTESTCON is the world’s premier conference that brings together the military/aerospace automatic test industry and government/military acquirers and users to share new technologies, discuss innovative applications, and exhibit products and services. It is sponsored annually by the IEEE.

The Theme this year is Mission Assurance through Advanced ATE.

AUTOTESTCON will be held at the Disneyland Resort and Conference Center in Anaheim, California, on September 10-13, 2012. The TECHNICAL PROGRAM for AUTOTESTCON 2012 will be determined by the interests of those participants submitting for publication and presentation a TECHNICAL PAPER or organizing a TECHNICAL SESSION. Papers and sessions should cover appropriate topics dealing with SYSTEM READINESS in general and AUTOMATIC TEST technology in particular. ABSTRACTS for TECHNICAL PAPERS are now being solicited, as are proposals for TECHNICAL SESSIONS.

About AUTOTESTCON

IEEE AUTOTESTCON is the United States’ largest conference focused on automatic test systems for US military systems, and has been held annually since 1965. The Conference, whose general theme is The Support Systems Technology Conference, is held in varying cities around the US each fall. Administered by a standing Board of Directors, the Conference typically presents over 120- quality application-focused papers with over 250 Exhibits, all focused precisely on the current issues facing military automated test. Attendance ranges between 650 and 750 (paid) attendees, with an additional 1,000 to 1,200 exhibitor and spouse attendees.

The perennial sponsors of IEEE AUTOTESTCON are the Aerospace & Electronic Systems Society, and the Instrumentation & Measurement Society. A third (optional) sponsor can be the local Section or Council within whose regional area the conference is held. This optional sponsorship is dependent on local participation and support within the Conference Committee.
