Description
The B-2A program within the Air Force focuses on providing essential maintenance and repair capabilities for the B-2 weapon system through the Interim Contractor Support (ICS) initiative. This effort addresses depot-level repairs for the Common VLF/LV Receiver (CVR) Increment 1, crucial for meeting operational requirements set by the Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC). The ICS initiative ensures that Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) and Shop Replaceable Units (SRUs) associated with CVR Increment 1 are repaired efficiently.
A key objective of the B-2A program is to maintain an on-condition and limited overhaul repair capability. This involves repairing LRUs and SRUs as needed to ensure that the B-2 weapon system remains operationally ready. Additionally, ICS provides travel support and interim repair services for new or modified components from the B-2 CVR Increment 1 program. This support continues until a permanent source of repair is established, either organically within the Air Force or through Contractor Depot Maintenance (CDM).
The overarching goal of this program is to ensure uninterrupted maintenance and repair services for critical components of the B-2 weapon system. By doing so, it aims to sustain the operational readiness and effectiveness of this strategic asset. The ICS initiative plays a vital role in bridging any gaps in repair capabilities until long-term solutions are implemented, thereby supporting broader objectives of national defense and security.
