Avionics Component Improvement Program (AvCIP)
Abstract
Investigate high value Return On Investment component improvement candidate projects in support of NAVAIR Commander's third focus area - Improve "capital A" Affordability. Stop operating and sustainment cost growth by reducing costs for fielded systems and implementing life-cycle cost reduction initiatives as part of new systems development. This program positions resources for next year application to fast-track corrections to existing problematic systems. Projects address critical readiness issues (significant back-orders or impending sustainability failures that threaten to down aircraft), functional performance obsolescence issues (system failing to support mission requirement), and top sustainment cost drivers (out of proportion annual maintenance or repair costs). Resources enable design and development of technology insertion and product redesign or replacement to meet readiness goals, meet mission objectives, or reduce overall sustainment costs. Candidate projects are submitted via a rigorous template, reviewed by a panel of Avionics professionals, and selected based upon urgency, warfighting contributions, breadth of application and scope of Return On Investment. Resources cover non-recurring engineering elements (including design and development, prototypes, platform integration, test and evaluation), program management and associated logistics elements (including technical data preparation, support equipment, provisioning, and training). Analysis shows that funding applied under this program between 2006 and 2016 will enable sustainment and procurement cost avoidances exceeding a five to one margin by 2025.
