The Resource Adapter Interface (RAI) initiative aims to establish a flexible and practical standard for the Department of Defense (DoD) that enhances test program independence and enables advanced interchangeability of test instruments. The standard must cater to current needs while supporting future capabilities and robust implementations. The DoD desires a test requirement abstraction that encapsulates time-related signals and locations, enabling both procedural and non-procedural representations. Through collaboration with standards committees, the integration of IEEE-1641 is recommended to meet these objectives.

RAI Information Brief Prospective from the RAI Working Group
What does DOD need for RAI • A standard(s) that can fulfill the definition. • Practical enough for today • Flexible enough to represent more robust implementations that further maximize platform independence in the future.
DOD Goal for RAI • Allow for maximized independence of the test program software. • Allow for advanced test instrument interchangeability. • Provide a reduced total cost of ownership and improved ATE capability & flexibility. • Enhance support for synthetic instruments.
DOD Desired RAI Requirements • Support for a Test Requirement abstraction where: • A test requirement is a concert of time related signals and locations. • Support for the existing procedural representation. • Support for a non-procedural (data only) representation.
DOD Intent • Recommend a standard or standards for RAI to be used in DOD acquisition policy. • Support a wide array of architectures. • Provide a path to future capability and robustness. • Incorporation into future DOD ATE.
Bottom Line • We think IEEE-1641 can be enhanced to accomplish these objectives. • We want to work with the committee to induct our requirements. • Once accomplished we want to use IEEE-1641 as the Signal based Requirement abstraction candidate for DOD interface mandate.
