E2C2 FST Obsolescence Management Team DoD Teaming Group May 2, 2001 Francisco Rios riosf@navair.navy.mil 619-545-7727
E2C2 Obsolescence Team • FY00 Charlie Haliscak Assigned PMA-231 Obsolescence Coordinator • PMA-231 DMSMS/Obsolescence Management Plan Developed (February 01) • PMA-231 DMSMS/Obsolescence Team Charter Developed (February 01) • North Island Team Formed and Kick-off Meeting Held 5 February 01
E-2C Aircraft Obsolescence Issues • 50 of 64 total Aircraft have over 7 years in service • Many Avionics Systems in New Production Aircraft are Configured with Legacy Systems • Many of the Systems in Newer Production Aircraft are recycled from Retired Aircraft • L-304 Mission Computer (Case Study) • APS-125/138/145 Radar WRA’s • Trailing Wire Antenna
Obsolescence Management Process • Obsolescence Coordinator Establish Priorities as: • AN/APS-145 • AN/APS-138 • L-304 Mission Computer • CPU-140A SCADC / NSIU (C-2A Peculiar) • Create Bills of Material/Indentured Parts List (BOM/IPL) • Electronic Format • Electronic BOM/IPL Loaded into TACTRAC • Appoint Server Administrator
Obsolescence Management Process • Identify Obsolete Parts or Those at Risk • TACTRAC Output Reports (Green/Yellow/Red Format) • Use Other Tool to Resolve Not Reported Parts (Haystack, Parts Plus, etc…) • May Require Re-Formatting BOM/IPL and Re-Loading • Resolve Unreported Parts Due to Suppliers or SCD’s • Convert SCD’s to Manufacturer or Generic P/N’s or find NSN’s • Re-Load BOM/IPL
Obsolescence Management Process • Assess Component/SRA/WRA/System Availability and Demand Rates • Requires Logistics Analysis • Use Data from USN Fleet Maintenance (NALDA) • Also Depot Usage Data
Case Study • E-2C Mission Computer Upgrade Planned • MCU/ACIS, Only for New Production Aircraft • MC RePLACE Planned for E-2C GR II • Currently Unfunded? • No Retrofit for Group I Aircraft
Case Study • In 1998 Litton Industries discontinued support for L-304 Mission Computer • North Island visited Litton and Tagged Inventory • All Inventory Turned over to N-G • In the Mean Time, components for L-304 were Becoming Scarce • Shop Request Alerted Engineering of L-304 Component Availability Issues
Case Study • Components made by DDC used on L-304 MC were not in Production/Available • North Island Production Contacted FISC regarding Litton P/N (19645) 861814 • FISC contacted DLA – Item Manager • DMEA Contacted by DLA and Began Redesign of Component P/N (19645) 2158 • Same as Litton Part Number 861814 • DMEA Effort Separate from North Island • DMEA/DLA Requested North Island Perform Board Level Qualifying Test of Redesigned Part
Case Study • Qualification and Bench Testing performed at NADEP North Island Feb – March 2001 • First Built a Golden SRA to Test Unit in Circuit • SRA was as Close to Center Test Values as Possible. • After Witnessing Test/Values, P/N 861814 Approved by Engineering for Removal from SRA
Case Study • Qualification and Bench Testing (cont.) • First Article Inserted into SRA • Initial Test Discovered Inconsistencies in First Article Component • Thought to be Circuit Trace Problem
Case Study • Qualification and Bench Testing (cont.) • A Second Unit was Produced by DMEA and Rushed to North Island • Recommended NOT to Encase New Item
Case Study • Qualification and Bench Testing (cont.) • The Second DMEA Prototype 861814 was received March 16th • Testing Began March 19th • End to End Testing of SRA Found No Faults • Bench Testing Results Forwarded to DLA/NAVICP/PMA-231 • MIL-Qual Testing to be Performed by DMEA • North Island Recommended MIL-Q-883
Case Study • Royal Singapore Air Force requested PMA Assistance in Obtaining Part for ASN-92 • P/N 861812 no Longer Supported by Litton • PMA Contacted North Island for Assistance • North Island Contacted Litton for Spec of Part • North Island noticed ASN-92 Part, also made by Litton, was Common to L-304 MC • Found Component RSAF was looking for was Family Member of Part Recently Redesigned • North Island Already Affected by Unavailability of Litton P/N 861814, 861812, and 861815 • Forwarded information to PMA-231/NAVICP
Case Study • Opening Sealed Unit Found • Extensive Corrosion. • One set of leads had completely separated • Packaging was holding in moisture. Sample of Part Number 861815 Corrosion
Case Study • North Island Requested NAVICP/DLA Response for Navy and FMS Issues • NAVICP Requested DMEA Quote on Fourteen Components • NAVICP has received bid for rest of Components • North Island Awaiting Funding Decision • Potential candidates for Rapid Retargeting • Would Not Help Singapore Issue
