Description
Description — Gen Purp Elec Test Equip (GPETE)
General Purpose Electrical/Electronic Test Equipment (GPETE) funding is provided to execute a detailed, multi-year sustainment and modernization plan for intermediate and organizational maintenance activities. GPETE is the equipment employed to ensure the accuracy of installation, alignment, and maintenance (preventative and routine) of all Navy weapons systems ashore and afloat. The GPETE procured must meet rigid technical requirements, be cost effective, and satisfy valid deficiencies in authorized allowance. Within the Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) program, GPETE is classified under 4 functional groups: Fiber Optics (M6000), Signal Generators (M6001), Oscilloscopes & Meters (M6002), and Passive/Ancillary/Mechanical (M6004). The program also breaks out a fifth cost code (M6003) for non-equipment (i.e. labor) tasks including engineering, procurement and integrated logistics support. The Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) program procures Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS; i.e. non-government manufactured test equipment that is available to the general public) GPETE to address the maintenance requirements across shipboard/shore- based activities and programs. Approximately 90% of the annual test equipment requirements are procured through the DoD Supply System, or MILSTRIP, process. When the program procures through Military Standard Requisitioning and Issue Procedures (MILSTRIP), the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) or Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) fills the requisition. The remaining 10% of procurements are Simplified Acquisition Purchase (SAP) contracts or purchase card buys. SAP and purchase card requisitions are utilized only for obsolete test equipment that is no longer available for procurement through MILSTRIP. Any variance in unit costs and quantity across fiscal years is attributable to the diversity and varying complexity of the Commercial-off-the-Shelf GPETE to be procured from year to year to address the maintenance requirements across shipboard/shore- based activities and programs. A portion of the cost growth from FY to FY within the cost codes can be attributed to an average industry cost growth. Any average unit cost code growth beyond 2% would be the result of planned procurements of larger quantities of more complex/capable GPETE and/or modernization to more complex/capable GPETE, which tend to be more expensive. The Navy's inventory of GPETE is approaching obsolescence and requires modernization to avoid deterioration in the accuracy of our weapons systems. Many models are no longer in production, so replacement equipment must be purchased from newer model inventory, some of which have a greater unit cost. Failure to maintain accurate test equipment will cause our weapons systems to perform below expectations. The impacts would range from premature mechanical failures due to incorrectly installed mechanical components, to radar and missile operational inaccuracies due to improperly set components. A defined, multi-year modernization plan for test equipment is in place. The Calibration Standards (M6005) funding is provided to execute a detailed, multi-year sustainment and modernization plan for Calibration Standards employed at intermediate, organizational, and depot level maintenance activities. Calibration Standards are equipment employed to ensure the accuracy of test equipment used to install, align, and maintain all navy weapons systems ashore and afloat. The Navy's inventory of Calibration Standards is approaching obsolescence and require modernization to avoid deterioration in the accuracy and calibration of our weapons systems. Many of the original standards are no longer in production, so replacement standards must be purchased from newer model inventory, some of which have a greater unit cost. A defined, multi-year modernization plan for Calibration Standards is in place. Several multi-year contracts requirements have been initiated and several more packages are in process. Procuring the planned calibration standards supports the performance of every Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) weapon system including Nuclear Reactor Program maintenance, the Aegis Weapon System afloat and Aegis Ashore Romania/Poland, AN/APX-72 IFF transponder, AN/BRD-7 ECM Intercept System, AN/SQQ-34 ASW Module, and all afloat radio systems.
Justification
Justification — Gen Purp Elec Test Equip (GPETE)
The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.037 million for civilian personnel to optimize the workforce in compliance with Executive Order 14210, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative." Increase from FY25 to FY26 of $1.390M is due to funds for fiber optic modernization and replenishment to procure Fiber Optics Test and Repair (FOTR) equipment for aircraft carriers to address increased maintenance delays, increased downtime, and forced Sailor work-around. Fiber Optic cabling and networks are on every hull and increase annually. Not providing the Fleet with FOTR capability that includes modern fiber optic equipment removes shipboard self-sufficiency and drives repairs to the Depot maintenance activity. Process Engineering and Documentation (M6003) provides funding for labor to procure material, organic/logistic support for material procured, engineering documentation (e.g. purchase descriptions) and supporting calibration procedure development, etc. In FY26, funding increases to accommodate the increase in efforts to support the additional requirements. Calibration Standards (M6005) funding increase from FY25 to FY26 to drive increases in quantities and increased unit costs due to new procurement requirements. Funding is also for the modernization and procurement of pressure testing equipment, torque tool testing equipment and power measurement testing equipment to support prime shipboard weapon systems. Pressure calibrators support all pressure gauges in ships and submarines, averaging over 130,000 work hours per year. Power meter testing (also known as wattmeter) benches are used to support shipboard Power Meters, to check the prime systems of MK-20A ILS/Instrument Landing System, AN/WSC-3A(V)3 Sat-com Transceiver UHF, NA/USQ-135(V)2 Position Locating Reporting, and AN/USC-71(V)1 Communication Set Satellite. All of these systems and equipment are dependent upon being verified by properly calibrated test equipment. Sailor safety and shipboard operations are impacted, including certifying reactor, steam plant, and combat systems. GPETE and CALIBRATION STANDARDS are priority readiness focus areas to support Sailor Quality of Service and Ready Ships.
