Fiber Optics Systems Repair, Test, and Training
Abstract
The use of fiber optic technology in military platforms, especially aviation, has dramatically increased over the past 2 decades. Additionally, both the breadth and depth of military fiber optic cable system coverage is considerably more mature than it was a decade ago. The result is that while this technology creates greater effectiveness and efficiencies for the military platforms, it also creates new maintenance issues and increasing demands for improved reliability.
The DoD Joint Fiber Optic Working Group (JFOWG) was created to serve as a forum for today’s military fiber optic system maintainers. JFOWG aims to define and implement warfighter-centric common fiber optic maintenance procedures, support equipment, training, and fiber optic acquisition policies, standards and guidelines. JFOWG provides an opportunity for the military Services and support contractors to share experiences and solutions to common problems.
This forum will introduce the JFOWG and discuss topics such as military standards, the fiber optic parts standardization and qualification process, maintenance manual development, training, fiber optic connector inspection, fiber optic inspection and test set support equipment, and the development of next generation fiber optic cable repair and built-in test capability. Please join us and participate in the exchange of information and ideas.
