Depot Maintenance (NON-IF)
Abstract
3030: A significant portion of the F/A-18 airframe is believed to have additional inherent capability and a life extension may be possible for many portions of the airframe. The F/A-18 Service Life Assessment Program (SLAP) is assessing the structural and subsystem conditions of the F/A-18 fleet in order to determine what modifications are necessary to extend the aircraft designed life limits to allow it to achieve Chief of Naval Operations inventory requirements. Without SLAP and the follow on Service Life Extension Program, aircraft are retired from the USN inventory when a design service life metric is reached. RDTE funds will support aircraft teardown to validate SLAP analysis, identify unknown fatigue areas and assess the aircraft's material condition. 3182: The T-45 SLAP is assessing the subsystem condition of the T-45 fleet in order to determine what modifications are necessary to extend the aircraft subsystem design life limits to allow it to meet Chief of Naval Air Training Pilot and Naval Flight Officer training requirements through 2035. 3384: The MH-60 SLAP is assessing the primary aircraft structure and subsystem condition of the MH-60S fleet in order to determine what efforts are necessary to extend the aircraft design life limits to allow it to meet Chief of Naval Operations operational inventory requirements through FY 2035. Without SLAP, aircraft are retired from the USN inventory when design service life limits are reached directly impacting fleet surface warfare, mine countermeasures, search and rescue, and vertical replenishment operational capabilities. FY 2018 budget request funds for the completion of external loads analysis, continuation of fatigue analysis, service life risk assessments of aircraft subsystems analysis and development of initial dispositions for safety critical items. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT because it includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
