An Analysis of the NATO E-3A Component's End of Lifecycle Spare Parts Reclamation

Abstract

Faced with diminishing sources of supply for an aging aircraft, the NATO E-3A Component must examine sustainment options. The retirement of a portion of their aircraft fleet presents an opportunity to reclaim spare assets and return them to the supply system. At the same time, the Component must avoid reclaiming an excessive number of assets from retired aircraft, as NATO has decided to replace and retire the E-3A by 2035. An examination of the Components processes and reclamation decisions highlights challenges, limitations, and strengths when it comes to sustaining the fleet for the remainder of its lifecycle.
