Facilities Sustainment - Test and Evaluation Support

Abstract

Provides resources for sustainment activities required for an inventory of Air Force Material Command (AFMC) T&E facilities. Facility sustainment includes regularly scheduled adjustments and inspections, preventative maintenance tasks, and emergency response and service calls for minor repairs. It also includes major repairs or replacement of facility components that are expected to occur periodically. In addition to standard facility sustainment, such as roof replacement, refinishing of wall and floor surfaces, and repairing and replacing of heating and cooling systems, this work includes inspections and repairs of heavy plant machinery in large industrial facilities. This work includes, but is not limited to, inspection and repair of high-power electrical switching gear, hydraulic, lubrication, forced-air and fluid cooling systems, high pressure vessel health monitoring, facility control and remote monitoring systems, liquid oxygen systems, steam systems, test instrumentation, and fire detection and suppression systems. Other tasks associated with facilities operations (such as custodial services, grass cutting, and landscaping, waste disposal, and the provision of central utilities) are not included. These sustainment funds support the following Air Force facilities: 96th Test Group (TG) at Holloman AFB, NM, the 96th Test Wing (TW) at Eglin AFB, FL, the Arnold Engineering and Development Complex (AEDC) at Arnold AFB, TN, and the 412 Test Wing (TW) at Edwards AFB, CA. Budget Activity Justification: This program element in Budget Activity 6, RDT&E Management Support, because it funds the sustainment of the institutional test infrastructure at the Air force test activities which are included in the Department of Defense (DoD) Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB).
