Aviation Ground Support Equipment

Abstract

Aviation Ground Support Equipment (AGSE) Product Directorate conducts development, testing and acquisition to enhance the functionality of enduring fleet 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 1.0) and its next generation systems (AGPU 1.1), Aircraft Cleaning and Deicing System (ACDS), Flexible Engine Diagnostic Systems (FEDS), Aircraft Jacks, Aviation Central Tool Management (ACTM), Self-propelled Crane Aircraft Maintenance and Positioning Increment II (SCAMP II) - (Expeditionary Variant) and development of support equipment required for maintenance of the enduring fleet and Future Vertical Lift (FVL) aircraft.
