An overview of general and specific Air Force policies and procedures in these areas: A. F. Tech Order System. Maintenance Data Collection System; Hardness Maintenance/Hardness Surveillance; Configuration Control; c. A detailed look at the "electronic" threat, Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), and how to safeguard against it; and d. Methods of detecting degradations in the hardness of a system or sub-system through testing and inspection. The seminar included some theoretical background data, but focused on practical applications. The material provided during the seminar was provided as guidance and was not be be taken as directive in nature. The complex is responsible for the development and sustainment of a diverse portfolio of mission-critical software for the Air Force and diverse other customers, as well as world-wide aircraft battle damage repair capability for multiple weapons. Among the topics addressed are: Weapon Types, Energy Forms, Blast and Shock, Thermal, Radiation, EMP, Transient Radiation Effects on Electronics (TREE), Hardening, Maintenance, Surveillance, and Testing. The Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex (OC-ALC) Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma is one of the largest units in the Air Force Materiel Command. The complex performs programmed depot maintenance on the C/KC-135, B-1B, B-52 and E-3 aircraft; expanded phase maintenance on the Navy E-6 aircraft; and maintenance, repair and overhaul of F100, F101, F108, F110, F117, F118, F119, F135, and TF33 engines for the Air Force, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, Navy and foreign military sales. Additionally, the complex is responsible for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of a myriad of Air Force and Navy airborne accessory components, and the development and sustainment of a diverse portfolio of operational flight programs, test program sets, automatic test equipment, and industrial automation software.
