Replace
Test
Meaning
To maintain or regulate an item, within prescribed limits, by bringing
it into proper position or by setting the operating characteristics to
specified parameters.
Automated systems used to communicate with other units on vertical
and horizontal flow of logistics and maintenance information and
status (replaces term STAMIS).
To determine the serviceability of an item by comparing its physical,
mechanical, and/or electrical characteristics with established
standards through examination.
Material condition of an aircraft or training device indicating that
it can perform at least one but not all of its missions because of
maintenance requirements existing on the inoperable subsystem(s).
Replace is defined as removal of a consumable and/or repairable
unserviceable item/component, and installation of a serviceable
item/component in its place. “Replace” is authorized by the
Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC) and assigned a maintenance
level which is shown as the third position of the Source, Maintenance,
and Recoverability (SMR) code.
To verify serviceability by measuring the mechanical, pneumatic,
hydraulic, or electrical characteristics of an item and comparing those
characteristics with prescribed standards on a scheduled basis such as
load testing of lifting devices and hydrostatic testing of pressure hoses.

System Peculiar TMDE
Meaning
The term is synonymous with line replaceable unit (LRU),
which is more commonly used in field- and sustainment-
level maintenance.
To refurbish a used product by renovating and reassembling
its components.
Automated systems used to communicate with other units
on vertical and horizontal flow of logistic and maintenance
information and status (replaced by new term, LIS).
TMDE dedicated to peculiar test and repair of a single
materiel system or item of equipment (no longer used as a
standalone term, but is now part of the TMDE definition).
Term

and Diagnostic
Equipment
(TMDE)
New Meaning
Old Meaning
Rebuild is more than overhaul
in that it restores the system to
a like-new (near zero time/zero
miles) condition in appearance,
performance, and life
expectancy. It inserts new
technology where practical to
improve reliability and
maintainability. The result of
a rebuild is a system with the
same model, performance
characteristics, and a new life.
Rebuild is maintenance that
restores the system to a like-
new (near zero time/zero mile)
condition in appearance,
performance, and life
expectancy. It inserts new
technology where practical to
improve reliability and
maintainability. The result of a
recapitalization rebuild is a
system with the same model
and a new life.
Recapitalization is the process to
rebuild and modernize selected
equipment to a near zero time/
zero miles standard that includes
technology insertion and results
in a new model-new life.
Recapitalization is the rebuild
and selected upgrade of
currently fielded systems to
ensure operational readiness
and a near zero time/zero mile
system.
The application of maintenance
services, including fault location/
troubleshooting, removal/
installation, disassembly/assembly
procedures, and maintenance
actions to identify deficiencies and
restore serviceability to an item by
correcting specific damage, fault,
malfunction, or failure in a part,
subassembly, module (component
or assembly), end item or system.
Restoration or replacement of
parts and/or units to maintain
efficient operating conditions.
Any system or device used to
evaluate the operational condition
of an end item or subsystem
thereof to identify and/or isolate
any actual or potential
malfunction. This TMDE includes
diagnostic and prognostic
equipment; semiautomatic and
automatic test equipment, to
include TPSs (with issued
software); and calibration
test or measurement equipment.
Note:
When the term TMDE is
used it refers to TMDE-general
purpose, TMDE-special purpose,
and system peculiar TMDE.
Any system or device used to
evaluate the operational
condition of an end item or
subsystem thereof to identify
and/or isolate any actual or
potential malfunction. This
TMDE includes diagnostic and
prognostic equipment;
semiautomatic and automatic
test equipment, to include TPSs
(with issued software); and
calibration test or measurement
equipment.
Note:
When the term TMDE
is used, it refers to both
TMDE-general purpose and
TMDE-special purpose.
