Aviation Ground Support Equipment

Abstract

This Program Element supports 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), Aviation Unit Maintenance Shop Set (AVUM SS), Self-propelled Crane Aircraft Maintenance and Positioning Increment II (SCAMP II) Type 2 (Expeditionary Variant) & Type 1 (Flight Line Variant), Non-Destructive Test Equipment (NDTE), Modernized Flexible Engine Diagnostic System (MFEDS), Modernized Maintenance Stands (MMS), Pitot Static Test Set (PSTS), and development of support equipment required for maintenance of modernized/future force aircraft.
