Common Support Equipment Enterprise View

4 Aug 22

Lt Col Jon Van Nostrand Materiel Leader, Aircraft Generation Branch Support Equipment & Vehicles Division PEO - Agile Combat Support jon.van_nostrand.1@us.af.mil mailto:jon.van_nostrand.1@us.af.mil

BLUF

• Common Support Equipment financially neglected, lacked clear vision for 40+ years for “no missed sorties” in past fight

• USAF now recognizing future realities, many stakeholders working to fix CSE to ready for the next fight

• Numerous exciting projects pursuing dispersed Ops, Max capability and flexibility – capability requirements need a critical look to field best industry offerings and enable more CSE capability per cubic foot

• Many options put USAF in more capable and affordable position than current 3rd gen items

– -60 generator versus a Ground Power modernization generator

– -95 bleed air cart versus modern industry offerings in eval

– 3D Borescopes eliminating unnecessary engine removals6

Not adjusting is costing us capability

• Choosing to sustain 50 yr old equipment a bad deal:

• Depot overhauls: “-60” cart: $527k per overhaul at Ogden

– Opportunity Cost – we won’t add capability/capacity/efficiency

• ~EIGHT 8 Modern B809E ($60k ea) could have been purchased – or

• Three GPM generators and 1 commercial Air Carts

• Missed opportunity to add capability that would also be cost-effective & reliable

• Fuel Consumption: Turbine Engines burn 50-80% more than modern Commercial diesel counterparts

– About $200k in fuel (@ $3/gal) wasted per -60 unit every 10 years

• Enough to pay for its modern replacement twice($100k/ea)

CSE Landscape

• Defense strategic shift drives need to fix CSE following 40yrs of “it’s good enough” mindset

– Works for “Main Base” vs 1990-2018 oppononets

– NOT ready for competitive, strike and move/agile base environment

– PSE proving expensive & challenges USAF lethality in competitive environment

• 3 LOEs to CSE Readiness:

1) Buy New/Old & New/New– ensure readiness next 5-10 years Money more effective in procurement than depot overhauls of aged equipment

2) Iterate w/ industry – bring in what they already do better – then optimize as needed for mobility - discard & iterate again when worn

3) Develop Defense/USAF specific solutions where needed

“Combat Minimum Requirements”

• “Ideal” CSE requirements make sense when performing heavy maintenance in a permissive environment

– That’s Not ACE - higher risk environment – we just need “enough” to save aircraft/lives/mission at dispersed location

• Combat minimum requirements – minimally power/cool etc to do essential maintenance to complete the mission

– primary way we deliver more capability per cubic foot/per pound is use of smaller equipment with “enough” capability vs ALL of the capacity/safety/margin/zero risk USAF is used to

– Otherwise – “ideals” will continue to drive oversized AGE

• Difficult to maneuver

• Encumbers agility

• “ideal”: grows CSE size, airlift requirements, fuel burn, storage required etc

“Combat Minimum Requirements”

• “Ideal” CSE requirements make sense when performing heavy maintenance in a permissive environment

– 72kw of acft power (Standard -60/B809 generator), when typical power needed 20-35kw – Growth in size `2x

– OSHA “B series” mx Stands where flexible ladder system works – growth 10-100X the size

• Combat minimum requirements – minimally power/cool etc to do essential maintenance to complete the mission

Challenges to consider

• SERD process – boards item often after the course is set for platform

• What is the basis for a stated capability

• Right-sizing can lead to better utilization/ efficiency/ affordability

• Add in Electric flexibility by adding electric outlets to harvest power off running diesel to power other equipment or charge electric systems

Current Powered CSE priorities

• Power systems – create, store and distribute Flightline and AGE power

• HVAC

• Weapons/munition handling and loading

• Increasing overall capabilities per cubic foot of space – scaling solutions into families – sm/med/lg

CSE Enterprise Imperatives

SE&V request to stakeholders: SE&V (AFLCMC/WNZ) commitment:

Invest in Common outcomes –Corporate, SPOs, Majcoms/CCMDs

Find faster paths to qualify/test/procure and field

Engage WNZ if we are missing an opportunity – STMP modernization list integration/prioritization

Use commercial capes & modify/optimize as NEEDED to ensure military utility -- but affordable

Provide realistic limitations/mission impacts being faced due to CSE

Develop fresh capes where gaps exist in USAF/industry in CSE

Understand need vs want when voicing requirements for new capes – affordability still matters

Seek affordable quantities to allow pre-positioning of capes

Shrink Footprint of suites of core capabilities, including multi-capable “bests”

Evaluate Peculiar existing SE for use on “common” acft, and CSE against “peculiar” platforms

Questions?

Next up: AFMC Enterprise, Col Jon Jennifer Barnard

Backups

Ground Power Modernization (GPM)

Roadmap Overview of Powered AGE

Industry is way ahead – We are bringing them in

USAF must choose Charging infrastructure and CSE as top priorities to make these options reality for long term

Change needed in USAF think – New Vector can be realized if CSE sustains a higher financial priority and we fund common solutions versus peculiar, whenever possible.

• Current USAF Power

• Last 40 years new platforms have elected to buy peculiar solutions •1960-1990s tech few others still use

• Inefficient

• Expensive to fuel (20-80% high)

• Expensive to maintain

• Expensive to depot (5x cost of buying new)

• incompatible with newer aircraft,

• expensive, limited applicability

• Moving into Todays industry standard •GPM bundles capabilities industry offers today into a USAF aviation package •“Clean” Power to satisfy all aircraft •Common, efficient, effective,, affordable •New is more capable & affordable than keeping old •Major Leap in efficiency, capability, commonality and compatibility across platforms •Power Infrastructure would allow this to be very clean solution

• Pushing the envelope •Jammers/power systems and others being “rethought” •Requires charging infrastructure investment to achieve objectives - Charging (Down Time) must be planned for

Futures Panel – Broad Vectors

• Sizing capability to match the target need – REQUIREMENTS!

• More consideration to 80% and 90% solutions – risk tolerance

• Affordability still a must

• ACE-specific capes a subset for CSE - but growing

• Whether talking multi-capable or right sizing (requirements) – it’s about fitting more capability per cubic foot

• Combat has never been OSHA compliant – rethink how we deliver capes e.g. Ladders vs Stands

• Some areas ACE will look/feel different than “main Bases” w/ enduring posture

Discussion

Lines of Effort (LOEs)

• 3 LOEs to Support Equipment and Vehicles Readiness:

1. Buy New/Old & New/New – ensure readiness next 5-10 yrs

a. Money more effective in procurement than depot overhauls of aged equipment

2. Iterate w/ industry

a. Bring in what industry already does better

b. Then optimize as needed for mobility

c. Discard & iterate again when worn

3. Develop DOD/USAF specific solutions where needed

• SERD Process

– Boards item often after the course is set for platform

• Right-sizing can lead to better utilization/efficiency/affordability

• Add in electric power sharing by adding power outlets

– Harvest power by running diesel to power other equipment

– Charge nearby battery systems

Challenges to Consider

• Power Systems

– Create, store and distribute Flightline and AGE power

• Weapons/munition handling and loading

• Increasing overall capabilities per cubic foot of space

– Scaling solutions into families – sm/med/lg

– Adding functionality that is “easy” to add capes/reduce total load

– Scaling systems to “right size” for this mission

• Exploring

– Shrink footprint by separating the Power (Engine or Battery) from the capability (HVAC, Hydro, etc.)

Current Powered CSE Priorities

• Government: Evolving challenges/New mindset

– Shifting requirements to do it smarter/better – meet the threat

• Industry: What are the biggest missed opportunities for SE&V to field modernized solutions?

• How can USAF assist in fielding better capabilities?

– i.e. Commercial vs DOD unique

• Technology Integration Activities

– Field demonstrations

– SPO knows what's offered

– Industry engagements (like this)

– STMP – a process to monitor and resource the opportunities!
