Aviation Ground Support Equipment
Abstract
This Program Element provides advanced development aviation support of programs that include advanced maintenance concepts and equipment. The FY 2015 budget request funds Aviation Advanced Development which supports Aviation Ground Support Equipment developmental testing and prototypes which 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 for product supportability and maintainability to replace obsolete and unsupportable equipment. This program provides for the 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: Aircraft Cleaning and De-Icing System (ACDS - formerly ACS), Aviation Foot Locker (AFL), Aviation Ground Power Unit (AGPU) equipment familiarization software, redesign and incorporation of AGPU modularity capabilities, Aviation Unit Maintenance Shop Set (AVUM SS), Family of Aviation Lifting Devices (F-ALD), Common Aviation Tool System (CATS), Non-Destructive Test Equipment System (NDTE), Swaging Tool Kits (SWTK), Unit Maintenance Aerial Recovery Kit (UMARK) and development support for tools required to provide maintenance support to modernized/future force aircraft.
