2 Agenda F-18 CAD/PAD Trouble Item Summary F-18 Interim Rapid Action Changes (IRACs) F-18 Service Life Extensions (SLEs) F-18 Conventional Ordnance Deficiency reports (CODRs) WB56 Status Update WB55 Status Update CWDR Status Update SR95 and WB19 Update 2

3 As of 2 April 2018 F-18 Trouble Item Summary DoDIC Name Issue Current Mitigation Get Well Date Future Mitigation N/A Production Line Support Late Arrival of Requirements/Funding - CAD/PAD procurement cycle is typically 2 years - Material needed to support production line as requirements/funding provided or sooner - Work with PMA- 265/planners to identify plan to support Production and sustainment units Approximately 2 years from plan implementation Will be derived from current mitigation WB56 JAU-77/A Production - Vendor has more demand than resources - WB56 production pending WB55 completion - SLE mitigate shortages - OA data supports 6 month increase Contract # 16CK084 - Delivery of units scheduled Dec 2019 Hazard Risk Assessment Jul 2018 WB55 JAU-76/A Production - Like item had a test failure in Oct 2017 that delayed delivery - Several items competing for priority from single production line - Early change-outs driven by deployments resulting in depleted stock - 24 month Service Life (no SLEs granted) - SLE to mitigate shortages - OA data limited to 2 months additional install Approximately Sep 2019 Pursuing MC50 production Qual of Digital in-line Timer (DIT) MW19 Seawater-Activated Release System (SEAWARS) Production - Lot failure has delayed deliveries - Contractor changing manufacture site - New site requires First Article Testing (FAT) - Shortage made worse by poor installed records - Combined FAT with Lot Acceptance Testing (LAT) to expedite delivery - Closely managing issuing stock Approximately May 2020 (will be based on date of FY18 contract award) Ensure new site acceptable then use traditional planning tools Look to incorporate item tracking in CAD/PAD system (currently in OOMA) CWDR Thermal Battery MXU-792A/A Obsolescence - Obsolescence issues hindering new procurement. Currently no contract in place. - Qualification required on replacement (Green Battery) - PR being routed in advance of Type III release Approximately Feb 2020 (will be based on FY18 contract award) Procure new Green Battery. 3

4 As of 2 April 2018 F-18 Trouble Item Summary Cont d DoDIC Name Issue Current Mitigation Get Well Date Future Mitigation AWAR, MH24 Shielded Mild Detonating Cord Production - Items have traditionally had no issues, but recent deliveries have been delayed - Service Life Extensions (SLE) should easily cover shortages AWAR: Dec 2018 MH24: Jan 2019 Monitor future deliveries and investigate delays if they persist JL97, JL98, MU73, MU94, SP05, SP08, SP12, SP14 Deployable Flight Incident Recorder Set (DFIRS) Detonating Cord Assembly Sets and lines Production - Multiple issues delayed production of DCA/TLX lines - Prioritization established and contractor is catching up on requirements - Production line support has further strained sustainment stock - Service Life Extensions (SLE) where applicable - Closely managing issuing stock JL97: Jul 2018 JL98: Jul 2018 MU73: Jul 2018 MU94: Jan 2019 SP05: Sep 2018 SP08: Sep 2018 SP12: Sep 2018 SP14: Sep 2018 Monitor contractor catchup progress and return to normal planning tools if contractor successful WB19, SR95 Deployable Flight Incident Recorder Set (DFIRS) Cutter Assembly Budget Constraints - Major budget cuts prior 2 years - Non man-rated - SLE to mitigate shortages WB19: Jul 2018 SR95: Sep 2021 Aircraft decreasing over the next 10 years MT30, MT31 Underseat Rocket Motor Transportation - International shipping and DCMA approvals delaying delivery of assets - Work with contractor and DCMA to address any issues - Closely managing issuing stock - Service Life Extensions (SLE) where applicable June 2018 Resolve standing shipping delay issues, or allow more time to receive assets in requirements planning 4

5 F-18 IRACs IRAC 139, date-time group - P Z MAY 17 Permanently changes the service life DODIC SN97, SN98, XW52 and XW58 SN97 Shelf Life remains unchanged at 240 months, Install Life from 96 to 108 months SN98 Shelf Life remains unchanged at 240 months, Install Life from 96 to 108 months XW52 Shelf Life from 180 to 192 months, Installed Life remains unchanged at 102 months. XW58 Shelf Life from 192 to 204 months, Installed Life remains unchanged at 96 months. IRAC 140, date-time group - P Z JUN 17 Permanently changes the service life DODIC SR95, SS49 and WB19 SR95 Shelf Life from 144 to 156 months, Install Life from 120 to 126 months SS49 Shelf Life from 120 to 132 months, Installed Life remains unchanged at 96 months. WB19 Shelf Life from 144 to 156 months, Installed life from 120 to 126 months. 5

9 WB56 Status WB56 Cartridge Actuated Initiator supplies gas pressure for actuating various components used in the sequencing system of the aircraft. JAU-77/A, NSN: P/Ns: 3205AS268 & EA-18G, FA-18B/D/F, NEA-18G, NFA-18D Limited Service Life Extensions (SLE) possible All SCID items tend to slow with total age and installed time With observed no-fires, little or no extension is possible on WB55/JL56/XW54 Inventory/ E-Stock: Very Limited Inventory 9

10 WB55 Status WB55 (JAU-76/A) Cartridge Actuated Initiator is used as a time delay pressure booster as well as a power source for the harness release initiator in the Aircraft Personnel Escape System. For all SCID items: Continue to monitor items through OA, testing more regularly than standard item Current inventory will be strictly monitored Orders are being reviewed and fulfilled individually Manufacturing order and priority are being closely monitored based on requirements Per TYCOM direction seat does not need to be pulled to change out WB55s Trying to get as much life out of each unit as possible Estimated date to return to prior ages and stock levels: September

11 CWDR Status Old design obsolete, no longer available for procurement New design should be ordered shortly, will be sometime until units are available for fleet use Will maximize use of Service Life Extensions to maintain as much stock for production line and emergency replacement May do additional Ordnance Assessment test to support additional extension requests 11

12 SR95 and WB19 Status DFIRS Doors contains a pyrotechnic assembly that severs the center section of the cover to permit deployment of the RD-633/A Signal Data Recorder. Production: Vendor Delays on Delivery Service Life extensions (SLE): Have been providing 24 month extensions Investigating at increasing the service life limits Inventory/ E-Stock: Limited Inventory 12
