Aircraft Engine Component Improvement Program
Abstract
The Aircraft Engine Component Improvement Program (CIP) provides the only source of critical sustaining engineering support for in-service Air Force engines to maintain flight safety (highest priority) to correct deficiencies, improve system operational readiness (OR) and reliability & maintainability (R&M), reduce engine Life Cycle Cost (LCC), and sustain engines throughout their service life. Past investments have reduced warfighter Class A rates and decreased Engine Related Loss of Aircraft (ERLOA)and generated significant returns on investments. Significant new tasks for this year support increasing reliability and maintainability of the B-52 aircraft/TF33 engine, correcting the #1 removal driver for the TF34 engine to achieve LCC of 24M and eliminating a safety concern with cracked header on the F119 engine. Engine CIP provides the only means to develop/address solutions to safety issues, obsolescence, reliability, availability, maintainability and affordability driven by changes in aircraft operational parameters, missions, usage or age. It also serves as the primary vehicle implement emerging technology solutions to resolve these issues. The program starts with government acceptance of the first procurement-funded engine and continues over the engine's life, gradually decreasing to a minimum level (safety/depot repairs) sufficient to keep older engines operational. Engine CIP testing identifies and fixes engine-related problems ahead of operational impacts. R&M related Engine CIP efforts significantly reduce out year Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and spares costs. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver WEAPON SYSTEM capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
