Description

Mission AVIATION SUPPORT EQUIPMENT MODERNIZATION

Aviation Support Equipment Modernization provides funding for the modernization of organizational and intermediate level support equipment for out-of-production and emerging aircraft, munitions and external stowage to maximize commonality of equipment, improve aircraft readiness/availability and to reduce life cycle sustainment costs. These items, common (used on more than one weapon system) and peculiar (unique to one weapon system), directly support aircraft maintenance, servicing, and sortie generation requirements. To support aircraft generation requirements, support equipment may be studied, reviewed, modified and/or re-developed in order to maintain operational readiness. Examples of equipment under review and/or modernization includes, but not limited to, power generation, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), munition trailers/accessories, munition lifts/accessories, tow vehicles, munition test/maintenance stands, hydraulic equipment, and engine test stands. Any identified capability gaps may result in the design of a new system. Additionally, modernization is a continuous, deliberate effort and is key to complete lifecycle management. This program element also includes program administrative cost for the Support Equipment and Vehicles program office and funds the cost of studies and research to support the aviation support equipment fleet. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Aviation Support Modernization capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

Justification

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (3)

Tow Systems Modernization

New Common Tow Systems Modernization across the aircraft fleet. RDT&E efforts support development, testing, and producibility of Tow Bar and Tow Systems.

Munitions Materiel Handling Equipment (MMHE) Modernization

Ensures aerial lift trucks (jammers) and munitions trailers continue to safely meet lift & carry requirements as well as fill capability gaps resulting from new/emerging weapons and aircraft stowage, and new force employment/ basing strategies. RDT&E supports emerging opportunities, such as but not limited to, development of semi-autonomous loading systems, alternative electrical power/drive systems and exploring & implementing a Family-of-Jammers concept to address low observable aircraft loading challenges, agile operations in contested environment, and heavy-weight lift capabilities resulting from emerging weapons. Equipment may be studied, reviewed, modified and/or re-developed in order to maintain operational readiness

Powered AGE Systems Modernization

Ensures powered aerospace ground equipment (AGE) remains available and suitable to meet the requirements of legacy and 5th generation aircraft and force employment/basing strategies while providing reduced lifecycle sustainment costs, reduce operational footprint in support of agile combat operations, and providing improved user safety by reducing system emissions and noise. Powered AGE includes hydraulic, generators, lighting, heating/air conditioning, compressors/bleed-air, aerial stores lift trucks and other electrically driven systems used in and around the flight line for the generation and maintenance of aircraft.
