Description — Cad/Pad
- Cartridge Actuated Devices/Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD) are energetic life-limited critical safety items used in emergency egress, fire suppression, aerial refueling, data destruction, aircrew flight equipment and survival equipment. CAD/PAD items are used in all mission areas, i.e. combat, training, force protection, search & rescue, and humanitarian relief. These energetic devices have a defined shelf/service life and are replaced based on time-change during scheduled aircraft maintenance. The CAD/PAD category supports 1,200+ distinct National Stock Numbers used on the following airframes: A-10, AC-130, B-1, B-2, B-52, C-5, C-17, C-130, CV-22, E-3, EC-130, F-15, F-16, F-22, HC-130, HH-60, KC-46, KC-135, LC-130, MC-130, NC-135, QF-16, RC-135, T-6, T-38, TC-135, UH-1, and WC-130. - Funds will be used to address production Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS)/Material Shortages/Obsolescence issues through studies, bridge buys, life of type buys, supplier/parts replacement, to include electronic components used commercially and in short supply, and qualification activities to preserve future production capabilities and capacities if/when needed. - Procurement quantities can change based on negotiated options/pricing bands and available funding, in accordance with Title 10, U.S Code Section 2308 BUY-TO-BUDGET ACQUISITION. - CAD/PAD items are purchased for AF by AFLCMC/EBHJ, CAD/PAD Program Office at Hill AFB, UT. - Funding for this exhibit contained in PE 0708070F.
Justification
Justification — Cad/Pad
FY 2026 funds will be used to maintain Aircraft operational availability and pilot safety. CAD/PAD assets expire due to established item shelf/service life, or mandatory "time-change" procedures for installed devices. In accordance with Technical Order (T.O.) 00-20-1, the aircraft becomes grounded until reliable assets are obtained and installed. The FY 2026 request was reduced by .438 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative.
