Rapid Sustainment Modernization Technologies
Abstract
The Rapid Sustainment Modernization program provides funding to the Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO). The RSO will develop, test and deploy new technologies for implementation across the sustainment enterprise, to improve readiness, and reduce sustainment costs. RSO will achieve this by reaching across the sustainment enterprise to include the warfighter, depot maintenance, field maintenance, supply chain and program offices to identify enterprise needs. RSO will then identify, assess, develop, validate and verify new technology projects that support these areas, all while reducing costs and increasing aircraft readiness RSO New Sustainment technologies such as; Conditioned Based Mtx Plus (CBM+), Advanced Manufacturing (AM/Coldspray), Digital Engineering, Automation/Robotics, Augmented and Virtual Reality, Austere/Contested environments are evaluated across the technology space in support of the Department of the Air Force (DAF) sustainment enterprise This is a new program element created based off the FY 2021 appropriation line item 56A. This requirement is not a new start as it was previously funded and executed with DAF Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY 2021 $0 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
