Spares and Repair Parts

Spares and Repair Parts is a critical component of the Navy's strategy to maintain and modernize its fleet for decisive operations. The program aims to provide initial plane-side spare and repair parts per authorized allowance listings to support the sustainment of naval aviation platforms for force generation and employment requirements in response to combatant commander needs. This includes funding for initial spares supporting aircraft procured under various budget activities, replenishment spares shipping containers, and support for aircraft modifications. The program also focuses on improving aviation operational readiness across the Fleet by providing immediate-fill, point-of-use spare parts needed to fix aircraft in a down status and mitigate long shipping lead-times.

Additionally, Program 0605 supports the Chief of Naval Operations' strategy by addressing urgent warfighting readiness shortfalls and making strategic investments in additional range and depth of spares onboard CVNs to increase deployed aviation readiness. The funding levels for FY24 represent a strategic investment for the Navy's Readiness as a top priority to properly sustain the future readiness needs of the Airwing of the Future while concurrently sustaining the readiness of today's afloat deployers and shore stations. The program also includes specific funding allocations for platforms such as Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), CH-53K, V-22, P-8A, E-2D AHE, Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS), Multi-Engine Trainer System (METS), KC-130J, Marine Group 5 UAS, Repair of Repairables (ROR), Spares for Modifications, War Consumables, and Aircraft Support Equipment and Facilities.
