B-52 Re-Engining

Abstract

Funds will address emergency warfighting readiness requirements. Funds will facilitate future capabilities by conducting B-52 modernization and sustainment risk reduction studies such as, but not limited to, studies on new engines, electrical, pneumatic, cart-start, wing flutter analysis, TF-33 (present engine) refurbishment (SLEP). It also includes program management support for the development and integration of future capabilities. To facilitate future capabilities, the scope of work may involve development of Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), studies and Analysis, Capability Development Documents (CDD) or any other analysis or paper work necessary to establish a program or record. Cost includes any other analysis or documentation and related expenses necessary to establish a program of record and support the B-52 Weapon System. Cost includes Program Management Administration (PMA) costs, 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 FAA or other mandates necessary to ensure continued aircrew safety and mission effectiveness. Funds may be used to address emerging and short-notice Diminishing Manufacturing and Material Shortage (DMSMS) issues. DMS efforts to include removal of end-of-life software/hardware within simulators systems and move to a modular, common open system architecture that is sustainable and cyber-resilient. Implement requirements and standards defined under the Simulator Common Architecture Requirements and Standards (SCARS) initiative. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver B-52 weapon system capability. BA7- This project 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.
