Once past midnight, pilots check their onboard systems to ensure they operate correctly in the Year 2000 environment. So far, we haven't encountered any problems with any of our munitions. Even our most date-sensitive equipment, the global positioning system receiver, had zero failures. By the end of the first week of evaluations here, all planned events were on schedule and going well, said Lt. Col. Steve Miller, Y2K Flag Detachment commander. We've had some limiting factors because, obviously, the conflict in Kosovo takes priority.
Some assets are hard to schedule because they're needed for the conflict.
However, Miller has no doubts of completing all the assessments needed before the end of the millenium. What I fully expect is that everything will work as advertised. We're just here to make sure it does.
