Aviation Support Equipment

Aviation Support Equipment encompasses several specific objectives and goals. The program includes the procurement of hardware, networking, systems, applications software, infrastructure, and associated engineering and installation support for the next generation of Naval Aviation Logistics Data Analysis (NALDA) known as Decision Knowledge Programming for Logistics Analysis and Technical Evaluation (DECKPLATE). This initiative aims to interface with Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) data and Logistics IT source systems to create an integrated data environment in support of Naval aviation logistics needs. Additionally, the program supports the procurement of hardware/software for technical refresh for shipboard and afloat units, including Mid-Tier Servers at 55 sites both shipboard and shore-based. The program also includes the procurement of Joint Technical Data Integration (JTDI) for installation on all Carrier (CV) and Amphibious Assault (L) class ships and up to Navy/Marine Corps aviation activities to improve accuracy and timeliness of weapon system repair manuals and other technical data delivery.

Furthermore, the program supports the Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) initiative, which provides common enabling capabilities to optimize aircraft availability and materiel readiness by incorporating health and usage leading indicators into the failure mode mitigation process. This initiative aims to deliver timely data-driven decisional information to enable engineers and acquisition professionals to support system improvements based on CBM+ acquired data and analytic results. Additionally, the program procures Advanced Skills Management (ASM) software updates from NUWC Keyport that will provide interfaces with the Defense Civilian Personnel Data System (DCPDS) and Time and Attendance system (TAA), as well as digital production floor capabilities for Navy Aviation Depots to ensure viability and alignment with broader Naval Logistics IT enterprise initiatives. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to transform existing business processes in alignment with commercial best practices for digitization.
