3 AF Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Overview 9 major operating locations Responsible for 2 AF bases Hanscom AFB, MA Wright-Patt AFB, OH Supports over 2,800 programs Hanscom AFB MA Hill AFB UT WPAFB OH Peterson AFB CO Tinker AFB OK JB San Antonio TX Gunter Annex AL Robins AFB GA Eglin AFB FL Represents 4% of the Air Force s workforce delivering 100% of its non-space warfighting capabilities $200B active budget would lead AFLCMC to be #4 on Fortune 500 list! AFLCMC Over 26,000 personnel providing cradle-to-grave Acquisition and Product Support for aircraft, engines, munitions, electronics and cyber systems 3

5 Product Support What is it? Wikipedia defines PS as Product support is a service provided by many retailers of various products that provides the enduser with a resource for information regarding the product, and help if the product should malfunction. U.S. Law: (10 U.S.C. 2337) The package of support functions required to field and maintain the readiness and operational capability of major weapon systems, subsystems, and components, including all functions related to weapon system readiness JT s take on PS It s how we keep a weapon system operationally viable throughout its life 5

6 Product Support Hot Topics F-15E canopy sill longeron crack A crack of sufficient size to cause catastrophic failure when the aircraft is flown at its design limit load was discovered The CSL should have been capable of 5900 Equivalent Flight Hours (EFH) of service; however, only 700 EFH had elapsed ACC issued a stand-down until the 32 other F-15E aircraft that may be vulnerable have been identified E-8C JSTARS depot Inspections of 4 aircraft recently returned from the depot identified 12 Safety of Flight Concerns AFLCMC assembled an IRT to investigate and address the quality issues coming out of depot AFLCMC has concerns about trend of mishaps at contractor depot operations 6

7 Product Support Hot Topics Support Equipment (SE) Common SE vs Peculiar SE SE is not tracked and fleet health is under reported -- faces obsolescence AFSC and AFLCMC dual reporting chains AOC upgrade slips 2 years Some program challenges include underestimation of system complexity, legacy 3rd party mission application integration challenges, and evolving cyber security requirements Government has been working with contractor to ensure the system is delivered with all the needed capabilities 7

8 Product Support Hot Topics Future of the A-10? How does AFLCMC organize, train, & equip for uncertainty Should the enterprise spend resources for short-term fixes or invest in longerterm solutions C-130J current issues Government program execution is being impacted due to data proprietary markings Data owner determines when, what, how, and to whom data will be released Challenge of data rights claims needs more focus from the Government 8

9 Where We re Headed Aircraft Structural Integrity Program Teaming/Relying on each other Cyber resiliency of weapon systems 9

10 Aircraft Structural Integrity Program ASIP goal to prevent aircraft losses due to structural failure No aircraft losses due to structural failure since 2007 Over 15 million flight hours ASIP aided in service life extensions for A-10, B-1, B-52, C-5, C-130, F-15, F-16, KC-135, & T-38 ASIP uses a proactive approach of quantitative risk analysis to establish MX requirements that keep aircraft safe and don t overwhelm MX personnel 10

11 Teaming/Relying on Each Other Life Cycle Management Organic Sustainment Warfighter Expectations: Fight Tonight, Ready Tomorrow Deliver cost-effective readiness as we drive to Art of the Possible KC-135 Block 45 Mod Aircraft KC-46 Acquisition and Organic Management AFSOC C-130 PDM Acceleration F-35A IOC Depot Mods 11
