Aviation - Adv Dev

Abstract

This Program Element provides advanced development aviation support of programs that include advanced maintenance concepts and equipment. The FY 2014 budget request funds Aviation Advanced Development which supports Aviation Ground Support Equipment development prototypes that will enhance the functionality of current and future aircraft by improving the effectiveness of maintenance and servicing operations through validating new maintenance concepts to improve man and machine interfaces, improve aircraft maintenance processes, reduce Operation and Support costs, and insert diagnostics technologies to replace obsolete and unsupportable equipment. This program provides for development of rapid battle repair procedures, tools development to speed the return of aircraft to a full mission status, and development of new equipment for aerial recovery of damaged aircraft. Included in this program are: diagnostics/prognostic monitoring systems, Aircraft Clean System (ACS), Aviation Ground Power Unit (AGPU) equipment familiarization software, redesign and incorporation of AGPU modularity capabilities, Aviation Light Utility Mobile Maintenance Cart (ALUMMC), Aviation Vibration Analyzer (AVA), Aviation Intermediate Maintenance Shop Set (AVIM SS),Battle Damage Assessment & Repair (BDAR), Common Aviation Tool System (CATS), Digital Aircraft Weighing Scales II (DAWS II), Hand Held Fire Extinguisher (HHFE), Family of Aviation Lifting Devices (F-ALD), Flexible Engine Diagnostic System (FEDS), Modernized Maintenance Platform (formerly referred to as Aviation B1/B4 Maintenance Stands), Non-Destructive Test Equipment System (NDTE), Pitot Static Test Set (PSTS), Unit Maintenance Aerial Recovery Kit (UMARK) and development support for tools needed to provide maintenance support to modernized/future force aircraft.
