Flexible, automated diagnostic solutions to help people solve circuit card problems.
Navy Gold Disk Program (MTR)
The Module Test and Repair (MTR) Program develops and provides
electrical/electronic module test and repair capabilities to organizational (O-level) and intermediate (I-level) maintenance facilities for both ashore and afloat
commands. It also serves as the In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) for various MTR equipment, develops and provides technical manuals on CD ROM, develops
Gold Disks for circuit card assemblies, certifies Gold Disk Developers and developer sites, provides for the maintenance and operation of MTR facilities,
provides technical assistance and guidance for all aspects of the MTR Program and is the Gold Disk Verification Agent for all DoD activities.
A gold disk is a diagnostic troubleshooting routine used to isolate faulty components on circuit card assemblies (CCAs) or electronic modules (EMs). The same technology
may also be used to determine whether an assembly is No Fault Evident (NFE). The primary purpose of a gold disk is to provide the technician all required logistical
information to identify component level failures and complete necessary repair. The distribution of Gold Disk routines DoD wide permits an organic repair capability to
users possessing the AN/USM-646 (V) and AN/USM-658 (V) Test Stations. The diagnostic enhancement and organic repair capability supports reduction of funding expenditures
and improvement of operational availability. Repair accomplished at the lowest practical maintenance level (Progressive Repair) assists activities in offsetting the cost
of shipping suspect faulty CCAs/EMs back to a depot for repair/replacement.
