3.9.13 Logistics

3.9.13.1 Maintenance

3.9.13.1.1 Maintenance concept

The Navy's objective in training device maintenance is to become independent of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)/vendor. Initially maintenance shall be accomplished by/through Interim Contractor Support (ICS) Program with follow on support via the Contractor Operation and Maintenance of Simulators (COMS) program. The levels of maintenance for this trainer are on site organizational maintenance (on line and off line) and off site depot maintenance. The on line organizational level of maintenance consists of scheduled maintenance and corrective maintenance (remove and replace), which are performed on site. The off line level of maintenance consists of repair of faulty/inoperable items (on site and off site). The trainer equipment (Commercial Items and TPE) shall be included in each level of maintenance as follows:

a. On-line maintenance: on line organizational maintenance shall emphasize "remove and replace" procedures rather than "repair at point of failure." Corrective maintenance shall be accomplished by module replacement by the ICS contractor or the COMS. Module replacement refers to the smallest unit, assembly, subassembly, and part in which a malfunction can be quickly identified, the unit can be replaced, and the replacement spare can be timely and economically provided and stored. On line organizational maintenance activities shall include the following:

(1) Verify that the trainer is ready for training by performing daily readiness tests and inspections.

(2) Isolate trainer malfunctions to lowest repairable component through the use of standard test equipment, test procedures, computer based diagnostics and by substitution when an ambiguity group is identifiable.

(3) Remove and replace faulty component in a manner that minimizes trainer downtime with verification of the repair using the trainer as a test bed. For example, if the faulty component is a repairable item, replace the component with a spare and arrange for repair of the component at the off line level of maintenance and verify that the substitution returns the trainer to an operable state.

(4) Perform scheduled maintenance and inspections during non-training hours as required.

(5) Isolate and document software related failures.

(6) Alignment and calibration of training system equipment. Procedures to recalibrate all station and console equipment shall take no greater than five minutes and shall be automated to the max extent practical.

b. The off-line level of maintenance shall consist of fault isolation and repair of failed components. The COMS maintains an off line repair capability on site or returns the failed components to the OEM/vendor to accomplish the following:

(1) Overhaul/rebuild modules

(2) Weight Test

(3) Perform piece part repairs

(4) Return defective component to operable condition

(5) Provide replacement components that are fully compatible with the trainer configuration.

(6) Emphasis shall be placed on providing the spare parts, technical documentation, diagnostics, standard Tools and Test Equipment (T&TE) to fully support on site piece part repair. The need for, and use of special T&TE shall be minimized.

c. Offsite maintenance shall consist of commercial repair of failed components that are beyond the capability of onsite repair.
