Abstract

One of United States Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) responsibilities is to overhaul Coast Guard Aircraft, which may require the manufacture of prototype and replacement parts. Creating tooling to make parts is a critical part of this process. Many parts are no longer available. Even if the parts are available, they may have long lead times for delivery, leaving gaps in mission support.
