Laboratory Obsolescence

Abstract

Provides for identification and replacement of critical laboratory assets that have reached the end of their useful life and require replacement. Several components in the F-22 labs have exceeded their useful life, or have become so difficult to support that they require replacement. Currently identified items that require replacement include the: Stand-Alone Multi-Engine Real Time Simulator (SMRTS); Operational Flight Program (OFP) Build System; Raptor Integration Lab (RaIL) Communications, Navigation and Identification (CNI) Stimulator; Air Vehicle Systems (AVS) Prime Mission Equipment (PME); Integrated Vehicle System Controller (IVSC) Engineering Test Stand (ETS); Honeywell Environmental Control System (ECS) Lab; BAE Electronic Warfare (EW) Alpha Computers; RaIL Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) Computer Replacement; IL FTE; Crash Survivable Memory Unit (CSMU) Specialized Test Equipment (STE). Replacement of these systems will be spread between FY12 and FY14 based upon criticality and availability for replacement (opportunity to replace without undue delay to the program), and available funding. The obsolescence priority list is maintained current based upon historic and current failure rates, lead-time to replace, position on F-22 program critical paths, and identification of new candidates.
