Abstract

CONDITION BASED MAINTENANCE PLUS (CBM+): The CBM+ solution is an initiative which provides Naval Aviation Enterprise with common enabling capabilities which deliver timely data-driven decisional information to optimize aircraft availability and materiel readiness by incorporating health and usage leading indicators into the failure mode mitigation process, enabling the Warfighter to more efficiently meet mission requirements through automated analysis and decision making processes. The CBM+ Initiative increases readiness through streamlined maintenance processes which provide actionable logistics/engineering data and integrated analytics not previously available, enabling engineers and acquisition professionals to support system improvements based on CBM+ acquired data and analytic results. CBM+ provides the enabling infrastructure and storage solutions within an Enterprise common environment needed to store and analyze weapon system sensor data to extend the life of current and new acquisition aircraft, realizing savings from reductions in field (organizational and intermediate) maintenance actions, reduced functional check flight hours, mishap mitigation, and reduced parts usage. MODEL BASED PRODUCT SUPPORT (MBPS) - Formerly known as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM): This program includes funding to support Information Technology (IT) Rationalization and Product Lifecycle Management migration efforts to modernize NAVSEA's Technical Data, Configuration and Logistics IT systems. This will enable advanced warfighter readiness capabilities in accordance with OPNAV N4's Digital Transformation Vision. This IT solution will be used by over 40,000 civilian and military personnel, impacting a yearly $6.5B investment in product sustainment. The absence of a centrally sponsored MBPS with a commonly defined and enforced system and data architecture has resulted in a proliferation of unique non-standardized, non-integrated, stove-piped IT solutions across the Navy, all supporting singular logistics functions and none able to influence warfighter readiness holistically. To enable enterprise readiness analytics, this effort will eliminate stove-piped legacy logistics IT applications and in place field an NAVSEA MBPS capability that enables programs to acquire and manage product support data/information within a single, structured, authoritative product data environment linking material readiness outcomes to the Program's core systems engineering processes. The key enabling construct of the MBPS is a digital thread/digital twin capability which provides a formal framework for controlled interplay of authoritative technical and as-built data with the ability to access, integrate, transform and analyze data throughout the product lifecycle into actionable information. Moreover as these capabilities mature, the cost of readiness becomes significantly more affordable and combat logistics operations become significantly more effective. As the Navy realizes these outcomes, Enterprise Digital Logistics IT services effectively become combat multipliers. The most significant benefit being that they maximize the effectiveness of our warfighters as we deliver them right data, at the right time, so they can continuously make the right decision faster than the enemy. Any decrease in funding will negatively impact MBPS schedule. Please note that, since the FY20 President's Budget, the name of this program has changed from Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) to Model Based Product Support (MBPS). The change was made as MBPS is a more accurate reflection of the scope of work involved in this program, as PLM is only a portion of the larger MBPS undertaking.
