Aging Aircraft
Abstract
This program identifies cross-cutting technologies that reduce total ownership costs and improve reliability, availability, and maintainability. Based on these technologies, the program developes and delivers solutions (to include prototype hardware and software) to address aging aircraft needs. The program also analyzes and recommendes changes to existing sustainment processes such as field and depot repair processes. Additionally, the program developes and delivers tools to facilitate system/subsystem management, including the sharing of aging aircraft information and knowledge among the air logistics centers, product centers, acquisition organizations, other services and government agencies, and industry, as well as providing senior decision makers with a common, comprehensive understanding of program areas such as corrosion, fatigue, wiring, subsystems, etc.
