AVIATION SUPPORT EQUIPMENT MODERNIZATION
Abstract
Aviation Support Equipment Modernization provides funding for the modernization of organizational and intermediate level support equipment for out-of-production and emerging aircraft, munitions and external stowage to maximize commonality of equipment, improve aircraft readiness/availability and to reduce life cycle sustainment costs. These items, common (used on more than one weapon system) and peculiar (unique to one weapon system), directly support aircraft maintenance, servicing, and sortie generation requirements. To support aircraft generation requirements, support equipment may be studied, reviewed, modified and/or re-developed in order to maintain operational readiness. Examples of equipment under review and/or modernization includes, but not limited to, power generation, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), munition trailers/accessories, munition lifts/accessories, tow vehicles, munition test/maintenance stands, hydraulic equipment, and engine test stands. Any identified capability gaps may result in the design of new system. This program element may include necessary emergent or unanticipated civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Aviation Support Modernization for emergent or unanticipated weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605831F. This program element also includes program administrative cost for the Support Equipment and Vehicles program office and funds the cost of studies and research to support the aviation support equipment fleet. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
