Aviation Ground Support Equipment

Abstract

This Program Element funds Aviation Ground Support Equipment (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 developing improved diagnostic technologies which will reduce Operation and Support costs. This program provides for the development of rapid battle repair procedures, tools, ground handling, and test equipment to speed the return of aircraft to a fully mission capable status. Included in this program are: Aviation Ground Power Unit (AGPU), Self-propelled Crane Aircraft Maintenance and Positioning Increment II (SCAMP II), Aviation Unit Maintenance Shop Set (AVUM SS), Modernized Flexible Engine Diagnostic System (MFEDS), (formerly referred to as Digital Flexible Engine Diagnostic System (DFEDS)), Modernized Maintenance Stands (MMS), Unit Maintenance Aerial Recovery Kit (UMARK), Aviation Maintenance Support System (AMSS), Generic Aircraft Nitrogen Generator (GANG), Pitot Static Test Set (PSTS) and development of support equipment required for maintenance support to modernized/future force aircraft.
