Resurrecting Dead Tech: How the Air Force Fixes Obsolete Avionics

What happens when a fighter jet needs a part that hasn't been made in 30 years? You can't buy it, so you have to build it from scratch. Join us as we step inside Robins Air Force Base to meet the 402nd Electronics Maintenance Group and their REARM team. Discover how they use advanced reverse engineering and hybrid microcircuit manufacturing to solve the "Diminishing Manufacturing Sources" crisis. From decoding the DNA of vintage electronics to manufacturing custom ceramic wafers, see how these engineers keep the US Air Force's most legendary aircraft in the sky.
