Abstract
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Aircraft Support. This continuing project funds costs associated with the preventive and corrective maintenance of fixed and rotary wing aircraft which directly support test and evaluation of aircraft and associated weapon systems and sensors. Testing aboard dedicated RDT&E aircraft reduces the number of fleet units required to support test and evaluation of aviation programs. This project unit funds airframe Standard Depot Level Maintenance (SDLM), the Integrated Maintenance Concept and Planned Depot Maintenance, major in-service repairs, emergent repairs and aircraft engine periodic maintenance and overhauls and aircraft material condition and field inspections. Also included in this project unit, are the costs of Aviation Depot Level Repairables (AVDLR), which are spare and replacement parts for components that fail during the conduct of readiness flight operations, aircrew training and proficiency flight hours, and must be replaced to support follow-on flight operations. This project unit also funds Aircraft Structure Periodic Assessments (ASPA), Individual Material Readiness List (IMRL) tools and support equipment, Aviation Climate Assessment Survey System (ACASS) and other projects and peripheral equipment associated with the maintenance of flight readiness for RDT&E aircraft. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST and EVALUATION MANAGEMENT SUPPORT because it supports efforts directed toward sustaining or modernizing equipment required for general research, development, test and evaluation.
