With increasing security concerns over unencrypted Mode-4 communication, the U.S. and its NATO allies are transitioning to encrypted Mode-5 to improve interoperability and security. To maintain compatibility, systems using the legacy Mark XII Mode-4 standard are being upgraded to the Mark XIIA standard for Mode-5. The primary objective is to obtain AIMS certification, which is required for compliance with the Mark XIIA Mode- 5 standard by successfully passing an assessment from AIMS PO, a U.S. DoD subsidiary. The AIMS certification process is complex, involving many individual tests across multiple stages, necessitating efficient management and organization to analyze results effectively. This paper outlines the certification procedure and proposes methods to improve the efficiency of AIMS evaluations for ground-based radar systems. For the integration test phase (AIMS-1202), similar test items are grouped based on configuration to reduce redundancy and streamline the evaluation process. In the flight test phase (AMIS-1203), test items are classified into groups according to test methods and techniques. The paper also presents strategies for planning tests under varying flight time and path constraints. This approach enhances efficiency, minimizes evaluation risks, and increases the likelihood of successful certification. The insights and methods developed will also aid in improving future AIMS-related certification processes for weapon systems.
