Aviation Improvements

Abstract

Project 0601 - Common Ground Equipment is a Naval Aviation Project to apply new technology to common support equipment necessary to support multiple aircraft. Project 0852 - Consolidated Automated Support System is a standardized Automated Test Equipment with computer assisted, multi-function capabilities to support the maintenance of aircraft subsystems and missiles. Project 1041 - Aircraft Equipment Reliability/Maintainability Improvement Program is the only Navy program that provides engineering support for in-service out-of-production aircraft equipment, and provides increased readiness at reduced operational and support cost. Project 1355 - Aircraft Engine Component Improvement Program develops reliability and maintainability and safety enhancements for in-service Navy aircraft engines, transmissions, propellers, starters, auxiliary power units, electrical generating systems, fuel systems, fuels, and lubricants. Project 3189 - is the Digital ITER program. The Digital ITER develops an increased capability to the existing BRU-42 Improved Triple Ejector Rack (ITER) for the AV-8B, which adds a multiple carriage capability for Smart Weapons. Project 3190 - is the Multi-Purpose Bomb Rack (MPBR). The MPBR will replace the BRU-41/42/33/55 and provide use for both tactical and training stores on one common rack. The MPBR will be integrated on the F/A-18E/F as part of this project. Project 9999 is Congressional Adds.

Change Summary Explanation
Schedule: Project 0601: The Engineering Change Proposal documentation efforts for the Turboprop Engine Test Instrumentation program took longer to complete than originally scheduled. Milestones have been revised to reflect the new schedule. The contract for the prototype Shipboard Firefighting Vehicle (SFV) was awarded to The Entwistle Co. on 31 March 2010. It was a sole source type contract that took longer to award than originally anticipated. As a result, the Acquisition, Prototype Phase and Test and Evaluation milestones have been changed to reflect the current revised schedule. The SFV LRIP was removed after determination that it was not required. Project 0852: No changes to the schedule since PB11. Project 1041: No changes to schedule. Project 3189: A FY10 BTR from PU 3190 to PU 3189 occured since PB11 to complete testing requirements for the Digital ITER program. Project 3190: The MPBR contract was awarded in March 2010. Subsequently, the unsuccessful vendor lodged a protest which placed the contract in a stop work status. The contract was reaffirmed in September 2010. Due to the vendor protest, the following schedule changes have been made since PB11: 1) MPBR SFR changed from 4Q FY2010 to 2Q FY2011. 2) MPBR PDR changed from 4Q FY2010 to 4Q FY2011. 3) MPBR CDR changed from 2Q FY2011 to 3Q FY2012. 4) MPBR PCA changed from 2Q FY2013 to 2Q FY2014. 5) MPBR DT changed from 3Q FY2012 to 1Q FY2014. 6) MPBR OT changed from 3Q FY2013 to 2Q FY2014. 7) MPBR TRR was removed from schedule. 8) MPBR OA changed from 1Q FY2014 to 2Q FY2015. 9) MPBR OA Report changed from 1Q 2014 to 3Q 2015. 10) MPBR Vendor Testing changed from 3Q FY2011 through 2Q FY2012 to 4Q FY2011 through 4Q FY2013. 11) MPBR PRR changed from 1Q FY2014 to 2Q FY2015. 12) MPBR OARR added to 2Q FY2015. 13) MPBR OTRR changed from 4Q FY2013 to beyond FY2016. 14) MPBR LRIP 1 quantities changes from 75 units to 77 units.
