A. DESCRIPTION: COMPUTER SYSTEM, DIGITAL: AN/PYQ-3(V)/
LIN Z48249/M095AK IS AN INTEGRATED LAPTOP COMPUTER SYSTEM
COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS CHATS (COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
(CI)/HUMAN INTELLIGENCE (HUMINT) AUTOMATED TOOL SET).
1. CHATS CONSISTS OF COMMERCIAL-OFF-THE-SHELF (COTS)
EQUIPMENT HOUSED IN 3 AIRLINE-APPROVED CARRYING CASES
(2 HARD/1 SOFT). CHATS TWO SUBSYSTEMS ARE:
a. CHATS HARDWARE: LAPTOP COMPUTER WITH INTERNAL
POWER-MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY, PRINTER, SCANNER, DIGITAL
CAMERA, SECURE TELEPHONE, CABLES AND ADAPTERS TO ENSURE
EASE OF USE IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS.
b. CHATS ALL SOURCE INTEGRATION SYSTEM (CHASIS) SOFTWARE:
CONSISTS OF WINDOWS 95 SOFTWARE AND INCLUDES OTHER COTS
SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS SUCH AS MICROSOFT PLUS/OFFICE PRO 95,
QUARTERDECK PROCOMM PLUS, NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR, PHOTOSUITE
V 8.0, PAGESCAN V.1.2, PHOTOENHANCER V.2.1, HARDLOCK V.4.1
FOR SECURITY, NORTON UTILITIES, AND WINZIP. IN ADDITION,
GOVT-DEVELOPED CI/HUMINT UTILITIES WILL BE UTILIZED TO PROVIDE
MISSION SPECIFIC FUNCTIONALITY. HARDWARE TURNOVER WILL
OCCUR EVERY THREE YRS TO ACCOMODATE TECHNOLOGY UPDATES.
2. CHATS IS THE PART OF ALL SOURCE ANALYSIS SYSTEM (ASAS)
WHICH PROVIDES MOBILE AUTOMATION FOR THE CI AND INTERRO-
GATION TEAMS.
3. REQUIRES NO SPECIAL/COMMON TOOL KITS/SETS, TMDE, ETC.

H. SPECIAL NOTES:
1. MAINTENANCE CONCEPT:
a. THE MAINTENANCE CONCEPT FOR CHATS IS AT THE CONFIGURED
ITEM (CI) LEVEL AND NOT THE SYSTEM LEVEL. IT IS TWO-TIERED,
CONSISTING OF UNIT AND DEPOT LEVEL MAINTENANCE ONLY. THE
MAINTENANCE FOR CHATS IS PRIMARILY BY LINE-REPLACEABLE-UNIT
(LRU). CHATS COMPONENTS ARE COTS/NDI ITEMS.
b. OPERATORS WILL INITIATE OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURES IAW TECHNICAL MANUALS (TM) OR OTHER APPLICABLE
MANUALS TO FAULT ISOLATE FAULTY LRU PRIOR TO NOTIFYING THE
CONTRACTOR DEPOT AT FORT HOOD, TX.
c. CHATS OPERATORS WILL NOTIFY THE FIELD OFFICE INTEL-
LIGENCE FUSION AT FORT HOOD, TX, EITHER TELEPHONICALLY OR
VIA E-MAIL OF ANY FAILURES. FIELD OFFICE INTELLLIGENCE
FUSION MAILING ADDRESS: MANTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS & INFO
SYS CORP, P.O. BOX 810, COPPERAS COVE, TX 76522-0810.
d. THE UNIT AND CONTRACTOR DETERMINE THE EXACT CAUSE
OF FAILURE AND IDENTIFY THE LRU THAT HAS FAILED. ONCE THE
FAILED LRU IS IDENTIFIED, CONTRACTOR DEPOT PERSONNEL WILL
EXPEDITE DELIVERY OF A REPLACEMENT LRU TO THE USER VIA AN
OVERNIGHT DELIVERY SERVICE. THE USER WILL REPLACE THE
FAILED LRU WITH THE DELIVERED LRU AND THEN RETURN THE
FAILED LRU TO THE CONTRACTOR DEPOT IN THE ORIGINAL SHIPPING
CONTAINER.
e. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT REPLACEMENT, IN THIS CASE,
CONSISTS OF UNPLUGGING THE FAILED COMPONENT (E.B. THE NOTEBOOK,
CAMERA, PRINTER, OR SCANNER) FROM THE CARRYING CASE AND PLUGGING
IN THE NEW COMPONENT IN THE SAME PLACE. TOOLS TO ACCOMPLISH
THIS ACTION CONSIST OF NO MORE THAN A SCREDRIVER (SUPPLIED
W/SYSTEM) TO DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT ANY CABLES. IF IT IS
DETERMINED THAT THE CARRYING CASE (AND THE ASSOCIATED POWER
SUPPLY) IS THE FAILED LRU, THEN THE USER WILL REMOVE THE
ABOVE MENTIONED COMPONENTS FROM THE LRU CARRYING CASE AND
THEN INSTALL THEM IN THE NEWLY ARRIVED CARRYING CASE.
RETURN MAIL DOCUMENTATION WILL ACCOMPANY ALL REPLACEMENT ORDERS.
