B-52 AFMC Test Assets

Abstract

The B-52 AFMC Test Assets project will provide funding for the test aircraft, manpower, and facilities at the Air Force Test Center located at Edwards AFB, California. This project will support the developmental testing and sustainment needs of the B-52 weapon system as well as the procurement and install of the Bomber Modular Data Acquisition System (BMDAS) of identified B-52 Test Aircraft. Funds include cost of one Test Aircraft #60-036 Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM) performed at Tinker AFB OK. Costs include any analysis, documentation, and related expenses necessary to establish a program of record and support the B-52 weapon system. Additionally, other costs include PMA and centralized support and initiatives for anticipated weapon system enhancements (to include efforts to improve weapon system operational capabilities, safety, supportability, maintainability, reliability, and total cost of ownership). Funds may be used to resolve emerging safety of flight and diminishing manufacturing sources issues, accommodate technology insertion and fulfill Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) or other mandates necessary to ensure continue aircrew safety and mission effectiveness. Funds may be used to address emerging and short-notice Diminishing manufacturing and material shortage (DMSMS) issues
