REMUS semitrailer with tractor

The computer-aided uniform measuring and testing system (REMUS) is a former weapon testing system of the Bundeswehr .

use

For the function test and fault location in electronic assemblies from other weapon systems of the Army (z. B. originate Leopard , Roland , Gepard , etc.), a R echnergestütztes E inheitliches M dining u nd testing s ystem, called REMUS utilized. The system was a complex test machine for various electronic assemblies in the army from various weapon systems (Gepard / Leopard / Roland / IFF from TÜR / LÜR / radio relay / radio / telegraph FS200 and vehicle navigation system). From 1981 to 2004 it was used in the Bundeswehr. There were five stations in each of the twelve divisions and in the three corps (one SHF, two HF, one DIG and one NF station).

The number of staff per station was: a system sergeant ( HF / SF ), a control sergeant ( Fw / OFw ), an operating sergeant ( U / SU ) and two team ranks ( G / HG ) as driver and assistant.

The test stations consisted of a Siemens process computer with connected 12-inch exchangeable and hard disk units , a terminal with an 8-inch floppy disk drive and stimulation and measuring devices connected via IEEE-488 bus. There were NF , HF , SHF and DIG test stations. It was operated under the test system software IEEE / ARINC-Standard-ATLAS. The development was started by AEG and completed by Hughes (USA). The series was coordinated by the company Krupp ATLAS-Elektronik in Bremen. The test devices were installed in a semi-trailer and used in the MES 3 in the army.

The picture shows (row of cabinets from back to front):

  • Siemens process computer 330 ( 16 bit , 64 Ki - words toroidal core memory with 650 ns access time) and DRAM page cache
  • Removable plate system
  • Hard disk system
  • several cabinets with various measuring and stimulation devices
  • the adapter field for the case adapter (on the front of the cabinet row)
  • the measuring station with terminal and suspensions for accommodating case adapters
  • the electrical control of the station
  • Air conditioning system , which consists of condensers on the front of the trailer, three cooling units with underfloor evaporators for process heat dissipation from the test equipment and one unit for room cooling / heating of the operator's area
  • On the floor of the car (outside) there is a fuel-operated (emergency) air heater "V7S" from Eberspächer , which was supplied from the 24 V battery pack or a so-called primary power supply

In addition to the test station, the system also included a trailer with a container for transporting software on removable plates, suitcase adapters and cables, and a trailer with a 60 kW generator set (SEA).

At the end of the 1990s, the obsolete assembly groups of the systems (disk storage / removable disks and the operator station) were converted to newer technology. The disk storage and drawing screen unit have now been emulated on the PC. In 2004 all stations were taken out of use and dismantled in what was then SIZ 870, Bad Bergzabern (now EloZBw). Until the planned end of use (2025+?), Six RF test stations will still be in use and serve to repair the old SEM 70 / 80/90 radio generation .
