Aviation Ground Support Equipment

Abstract

Aviation Ground Support Equipment (AGSE) conducts developmental testing and the 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: Tool Set, Aviation Unit Maintenance (TS, AUM), Self-propelled Crane Aircraft Maintenance and Positioning Increment II (SCAMP II), Expeditionary Variant, Pitot Static Test Set (PSTS), Aviation Ground Power Unit Next Generation (AGPU Nex Gen), Modernized Flexible Engine Diagnostic System (MFEDS), Modernized Maintenance Stands (MMS), Aircraft Cleaning and De-icing System (ACDS), Aviation Intermediate Maintenance Shop Set (AVIM SS), Common Aviation Tool System (CATS), Generic Aircraft Nitrogen Generator (GANG), Aviation Light Utility Mobile Maintenance Cart (ALUMMC), Standard Aircraft Towing System (SATS) and development of support equipment required for maintenance of modernized/future force aircraft.
