2. Program Mission
The NAVSEA TMDE Program office is responsible for comprehensive cradle to grave Life cycle support, encompassing acquisition, outfitting and retirement of General Purpose Electronic and Electrical Test Equipment (GPETE)and Calibration Standards (CALSTDS). Through multiyear acquisition planning and execution, the TMDE program strives to provide cost effective Commercial Off-the-shelf (COTS) test equipment solutions to support Prime systems corrective and preventive maintenance

5. TMDE Program Goals Standardization Modernization
Sailors use the same model they trained on in school
Modernization
Models are the most current and user-friendly available
Infusion of new technologies
Added capabilities, features, and integrated platforms
Reliability Improvement
Test equipment self-test and calibration resiliency
Inventory Reduction
Longer cal intervals and reliability reduce need for redundancy
Distance Support Integration
Capability for shore-based support to see what Sailor sees
Automation
Intelligent test equipment capable of hands-free maintenance

6. Terminology General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment (GPETE)
Electronic/Electrical test equipment containing the capability without modification to generate, modify, or measure a range of parameters of electronic functions required to test two or more prime equipments or systems of basically different design
Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE)
Any system or device used to evaluate the operational condition of an end item or subsystem thereof, or to identify and/or isolate any actual or potential malfunction
Calibration Standards (CAL STDs)
Systems and equipment used to verify operational capability of either general purpose equipment or standards of lower accuracy.

7. Program Products
SPETERL - Ships Portable Electrical/Electronic Test Equipment Requirements Listing. The requisite configuration document detailing prime systems and allowable quantities of test equipment to support maintenance. Published on demand
TMDE Index - Used to cross-reference Prime system/equipment measurement requirements to SCAT codes and their affiliated NAVSEA authorized GPETE.
CD-ROM Technical Manual Library- CD-ROM set of various GPETE technical manuals, both operator and service. Available upon request
Assistance by –
Test Equipment Operation Training – Nine GPETE Operator computer based training modules available on the TMDE INDEX CD.
