F-15 Goals

• Best warfighter support possible
• Achieve and sustain high aircraft availability
• Faster response time
• Leverage initial acquisition investment and
  provide best value sustainment cost
• Avoid duplication
• Traditional approach provides duplicate test
  equipment and data
• Utilize best mix of capabilities of both public
  and private sectors

F-15 Sustainment Environment

• A large organic support structure exists for the
  F-15
• It is necessary to maintain core organic
  capabilities
• Minimum facilities, equipment and skilled
  personnel necessary to meet readiness and
  sustainment requirements
• Title 10 USC 2466 (50/50) limits outsourcing of
  maintenance workload

6
Program Challenges/Opportunities

• F-15A/B in inventory until 2010
• F-15C/D in inventory until 2025
• F-15E in inventory until 2035
• Currently undergoing the most complex and lethal
  upgrades in its history
• Weapon system modifications have the potential
  to increase depot costs associated with
  establishing repair capability
• Partnering relationships with industry will
  reduce overall cost for manpower and
  infrastructure
