B-1 AFMC Test Assets
Abstract
The B-1 Test Asset effort will provide funding for the test aircraft, manpower, and facilities at the Air Force Test Center located at Edwards Air Force Base (AFB), California. This will support the developmental testing and sustainment needs of the B-1B weapon system. It funds support for Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM) for one test aircraft (A/C 85-0075), which is performed at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. Funds also support analysis, documentation, and related activities necessary to establish a program of record and support the B-1B weapon system. Additionally, other costs include PMA and centralized support as well as initiatives for anticipated weapon system enhancements (to include efforts to improve weapon system operational capabilities, safety, supportability, maintainability, reliability, digital engineering and total cost of ownership) are included. Funding may be used to resolve or address emerging safety of flight and Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) issues, accommodate technology insertion and fulfill FAA or other mandates necessary to ensure continued aircrew safety and mission effectiveness.
