Service before self: Avionics technician saves time, money with F-16 innovations

Senior Airman Christopher Caruso, a 555th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Unit avionics technician, designed a stand that allows maintainers to check the functionality of a sniper pod. After performing routine maintenance or repairing a broken part on the sniper pod, maintainers would have to remount the sniper pod back on an F-16 Fighting Falcon in order to ops check it. This stand allows maintainers to test a repaired sniper pod without having to remount it. In the event there are still problems with the sniper pod, the stand allows maintainers to fix it on the spot, thanks to the design of the stand. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Benjamin Gonsier)

Service before self: Avionics technician saves time, money with F-16 innovations

Pictured on the right is a sniper pod stand designed by Senior Airman Christopher Caruso, an avionics technician with the 555th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Unit. The stand allows maintainer to connect the sniper pod to an F-16 Fighting Falcon without having to mount it to the aircraft and perform the necessary steps to test its functionality. Pictured on the left is a common wheeled platform used to transport a sniper pod. While still used to transport sniper pods, maintainers are unable to test a sniper pod on it or conduct maintenance. This innovation saves man-hours and money because of the amount of time it takes to mount the sniper pod to the aircraft. If, after the ops checks, there are still problems with the sniper pod, it would have to be unmounted and fixed. The stand allows maintainers to test and fix the sniper pod without moving it.
