Aviation Ground Support Equipment

Abstract

This PE funds development of Aviation Ground Support Equipment (AGSE). The FY 2016 budget request funds for AGSE developmental testing and acquisition of prototypes to enhance the functionality of current and future aircraft maintenance equipment. This will be accomplished by identifying more effective aircraft maintenance equipment, validating new maintenance concepts, improving machine interfaces, updating aircraft maintenance processes, and replacing obsolete and unsupportable equipment with improved diagnostic technologies which will reduce Operation and Support costs. 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), Aviation Ground Power Unit (AGPU) redesign and incorporation of AGPU modularity capabilities, Aviation Foot Locker (AFL), Self-propelled Crane Aircraft Maintenance and Positioning (SCAMP II), (formerly referred to as Family of Aviation Lifting Devices (F-ALD)), Aviation Unit Maintenance Shop Set (AVUM SS), Digital Flexible Engine Diagnostic System (DFEDS), Non-Destructive Test Equipment System (NDTE), and development support for tools required to provide maintenance support to modernized/future force aircraft.
