“…The annual sustainment cost for both models were compared using a two-tailed T- The results of this analysis are representative of the Time to Failure point and Annual Sustainment Cost of three avionics components across a fleet of 96 aircraft. In the operational Air Force, however, aircraft avionics systems are more complex integrating dozens or hundreds of electronic components (Hicks et al, 2003). These results from this study indicate that the Programmed Upgrade Strategy provides a valuable tool to reduce avionics sustainment costs.…”

“…Their model recommends using COTS to reduce the engineering costs for new system development, though falls short of offering guidance for developing sustainable architecture for future components. Brian Hicks et al (2003) study analyzes the USAF's 90 models, in its fleet of 5,778 aircraft, using a multitude of avionics systems. Among these aircraft, the avionics systems have as few as 53…”

The Air Force faces increasingly difficult challenges to maintain and sustain its highly technical weapon systems, struggling against rapid technology advancement and diminishing lifecycle for electronic systems. The reduced lifecycle times have not only This project utilizes two integrated models, the first, to determine electronic avionics demand requirements for a fleet of 96 aircraft over a 30-year period, and the second to evaluate sustainment cost over time for a) re-engineering strategy, b) lifetime buy strategy, and c) programmed redesign strategy. Statistical analysis and long-term cost comparison of these three strategies will provide a framework to evaluate specific weapon systems for future studies and to develop an attainable low-cost sustainment strategy.
