Project Announcement: Enhanced Aircraft Maintenance and Sustainment Planning

The US Department of Defense is partnering with industry and academia on an initiative to use data analysis and modeling techniques prior to acquisition of a specific aircraft platform with specific capabilities to balance the up-front costs with projected aircraft availability and readiness levels in the future. Specific goals include the ability to:

• Evaluate and assess depot level maintenance options across capability, capacity, cost, risk, and strategic impact.
• Model the impact of investment across specific aircraft parts, sustainment, and maintenance processes to target program spending and achieve maximum ROI and aircraft availability.  (Tier 1 Technology Implementation)
• Evaluate current and historical program data to provide key learnings and best practices to the new platform.
• Compress and de-risk program schedule to ensure timely launch of the new platform.
• Assess facilities’ requirements and evaluate military construction cost factors to reduce spending and increase speed of execution.
• Support development of acquisition strategy, negotiations, sourcing plans, including multiyear procurement planning.
