Aircraft Engine Component Improvement Program
Abstract
The Aircraft Engine Component Improvement Program (CIP) provides the only source of critical sustaining engineering support for in-service Air Force engines to maintain flight safety, to correct deficiencies, improve system operational readiness (OR) and reliability & maintainability (R&M), reduce engine life cycle cost (LCC), and sustain engines throughout their service life. Engine CIP directly addresses engine related causes to aircraft non-mission-capability rates. Significant requirements for FY23 and FY24 include accelerated mission tests (AMTs) required to qualify complex redesigns enabling fleet incorporation of the improvement and providing risk reduction of recently fielded redesigns that were qualified by analysis. The AMT provides early identification of safety and reliability issues prior to the operational fleet experiencing the issue. Ongoing tasks for this year support addressing obsolescence and DMSMS issues on the TF33 engine (B-52 aircraft), developing critical repairs and extending life limited parts to avoid over $220M on the F119 engine (F-22 aircraft) program in preparations for its 2nd depot interval induction, and eliminating a safety concern with the J85 engine (T-38 aircraft). Changes in aircraft operational parameters or missions accelerate the discovery of new engine issues and the need to resolve these issues. Engine CIP funding is driven by field events and types/maturity of engines, not by the total engine quantity. Service-related engine deficiencies occur throughout the engine lifecycle. Given the uncertainty with regard to the number and timing of engine-related deficiencies, it is essential for the USAF to have adequate engineering capability and test capacity to rapidly respond to problems as they occur. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY22, $0.00M was expended for civilian pay in this program element, and in FY23 $0.00M is forecast for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
