AN INQUIRY INTO CONTRACTOR SUPPORT OF FLEET AIRCRAFT

Abstract

The complexity, intricacy, cost and rapid obsolescence of modern military weapons have produced unprecedented problems in logistic support. These problems have been attacked in the Navy from two directions. The first, by efforts to improve 'in-house' logistic support procedures. The second, through increased reliance on contractor support systems, particularly in the test and fleet introductory phases of a weapon's development. This latter course of action is examined insofar as applied to introductory support of the F4H-1 aircraft at two Pacific Fleet operating sites. A review and report of the initial impact of contractor support of the F4H-1 aircraft at two Pacific Fleet operating sites. A review and report of the initial impact of contractor support of the F4H-1 is presented. Suggested improvements are made for extended use of Navy personnel in the contractor support program.
