Abstract Counterfeit parts are a serious problem to the DoD supply chain and to DoD maintainers. The existence of counterfeit parts in the supply chain has the potential to reduce equipment performance and reliability, and even endanger operators and maintainers. This forum will examine the impact that counterfeit parts are having on DoD sustainment operations, …
Abstract: Diagnosing faults in military electronics can be a time-consuming, imprecise, and difficult process. Reported electronics errors that occur in an operational working environment, often show No Fault Found (NFF) when tested later at a higher level of maintenance. There are many know causal factors for NFF including training, inadequate troubleshooting procedures and tools, OPTEMPO …
Abstract Advancements of both the science of human augmentation and the engineering of advanced exoskeletons have already demonstrated benefits in the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard where the technology proved to increase productivity and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries across a range of heavy industrial occupations. The focus of the industrial Human Augmentation System is …
Abstract Gas turbine engine maintenance costs DoD approximately $8 billion annually. With DoD being challenged to reduce costs and improve readiness, engine maintenance is a significant focus area to explore and implement cost-saving initiatives. Low engine power is the primary cause for unscheduled engine removals, with compressor degradation being a leading contributor. Replacing compressor airfoils …
