Problem Statement:

• Fleet availability in the AF is low!
• Fleet availability is mostly based on parts availability and some on maintenance effectiveness and efficiency.
• Airmen spend a considerable part of their time (estimated at ~50% ) doing paperwork and reporting. Human reporting is usually not very accurate nor granular. Tracking of important parts by serial number is minimal and acutely inaccurate.
• Airmen need to use disparate data sources and various tools (IETM, PDF viewers, etc.), which is causing considerable delays and frustration.
• Airmen need to repeatedly feel military forms (the source of truth…), and often do so in an imperfect, non-granular way. This results in incorrect source data, which is used for predictive logistics.

The Grey Gecko Real-Time Inspection Tool (GRIT) 125v2.50 is a patented corrosion detection device that optimizes Non-Destructive Inspections and offers a “first look and early find” capability, saving time and money. Developed and refined with feedback from the U.S. Coast Guard, Navy, Army, and Lockheed Martin, the deployable, lightweight, battery-operated device sees-through paint to the substrate. The GRIT can reduce aircraft downtime by 25% and inspection labor by 50% on commercial, strategic airlift, executive transport, aerial refuelers, C2ISR platforms, and 3rd/4th generation tactical and rotary-wing aircraft.

In Q4 2023, the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division’s Materials Engineering and Structures Engineering branches and the Jacksonville Materials Engineering Laboratory investigated and demonstrated the GRIT’s efficacy. Ideal applications are: uncoated, chromate and polyurethane systems, CARC, and epoxy non-skid, up to a thickness of 20mils. Eye-safe and FCC-compliant, the GRIT is equally effective on any substrate type with no PPE or PMEL. Recently, the GRIT system detected a crack on the rear horizontal stabilizer of a U.S. Coast Guard C-27J Spartan aircraft and two additional cracks that had evaded previous NDI inspections. This real-time inspection prevented the need for chemically removing the coating system.

Problem Statement:

CAGE: 6WFE7 | UEI: K9R8E1G9UJN7

Problem Statement:

Coast Guard aviation sustainment — like all complex defense aviation sustainment — runs largely reactively despite the operational and depot data available to make it predictive. The six analytically intensive ILS disciplines (Reliability and Maintainability, Level of Repair Analysis, Provisioning, Maintenance Task Analysis, Configuration Change Impact Analysis, Supportability) are typically executed as separate studies on separate schedules, producing reports that are filed rather than driving continuous engineering decisions. As a result, unplanned corrective maintenance, emergency procurement, configuration change cascades, and supportability gaps absorb 20–40% of total sustainment cost on a typical program — distributed across budget lines rarely aggregated into a single visible number. The data needed to drive predictive, integrated, closed-loop sustainment exists today on every aircraft and across the depot, but the integrated capability to consume that data continuously with field-actionable outputs is not yet available to most programs.
