Fixed Point Aircraft Utility Support System Economic Feasibility Analysis,

Abstract

The primary objective of the study is to determine the economic feasibility of providing Naval/Marine Corps air stations with centralized systems which would provide utility service which is presently supplied by mobile ground support equipment (GSE). The services included in this study will be limited to: Starting Air, Cooling Air, Shop Air, 400 Hz and 60 Hz Electrical Power. These services would be distributed to appropriate locations in hangars and to service islands on the parking apron, via underground and bulkhead distribution systems. Such systems are intended to reduce the quantity of mobile GSE required in the Navy inventory, and its attendant high cost at those bases where operations warrant them.
