The Australian experience

Transforming LSAR to whole of life management.

David Stephan


Overview

A history of Australia’s adoption of ILS/LSA In-service case studies Evolving trends and concepts Industry use to support acquisition Industry internal usage Evolution to in-service CSDB


Australia’s adoption of ILS/LSA

Similar to other nations Late 80’s early adoption 90’s rapid growth for acquisition programs Influenced in-part by Foreign Military Sales Adopted US MIL-STD-1388-2B

Tri-service use varied Army – Keen to adopt for acquisition & modelling Air Force – Keen to adopt as part of Airworthiness Navy – Required for Airworthiness compatibility, but with a

CM & Pubs focus


Initial Adoption

Traditional 1388-2B approach Acquisition of data Desire to use for in-service support Standardised datasets Seen as more cost effective

Omega products Adopted widely but initially used in isolation RAAF – adopted for major acquisitions ARMY – Focus on spares planning for deployments NAVY – FMS acquisitions No corporate mandate


First Evolution

Airworthiness extensions added to LSAR Based on RAAF airworthiness policies Naval extensions added to support CM & Docs focus

AAP5102.003 publication produced for Tri-Service Although aerospace driven Tri-Service adopted Some perception of LSAR = aerospace

Omega implements 5102.003 Becomes the corporately supported tool Wide industry adoption CSDB recognised


Second Evolution

DEF(AUST)5692 replaced AAP5102.003 2002 True Tri-Service Revised airworthiness Compatible with 1388 2B data sources* Flexible for non-aerospace programs (1388 or 5692) Provided a schema enabling further in-service integration

OmegaPS ‘ADO mode’ developed alongside with DEF(AUST)5692 ADO approved compliancy Corporately supported by ADO


Current Evolution

DEF(AUST)5692 Document Sponsorship moved to MRD Maintenance Requirements Determination Centre of Excellence

(MRD CoE)

MRD processes to support airworthiness requirements Outputs approved Maintenance Policy Scope for further adoption across all services


Current Evolution (cont)

MRD CoE updates 5692 to ‘Issue 2’ Due for release Improves and expands on MRD functionalities Segments ADO specific data

Eases integration with in-house applications

Adopts a revised RCM approach based on MSG-3 Adopts “M Servicings” to support in-house CMMS Adds Work Area Assessments


OmegaPS ADO Mode

OmegaPS is ADO’s corporately supported LSAR product

‘ADO Mode’ compliant to Issue 1

OmegaPS to support Issue 2 Pending publication release

Development underway Issue 1 & 2 to be available separately Upwardly compatible


Defence Use

Major Capital Procurements Naval

Vessels Weapon Systems

Land Vehicle programs Weapon Systems

Air Platforms Weapon Systems Ground Support Life Support


Defence Examples

Acquisition Projects In-Service Activities

Note that some details have been intentionally obscured


Defence Acquistions

AUS DEFCON – Australian Defence Contracting Standard templates Tailorable Includes ILS deliveries

Approaches to market RFQ & RFT’s Preliminary deliveries with bid

Models of proposed solutions

Formal evaluation Acquisition – continuous improvements

Acquisition deliverables before in-service In-service demands may drive acquisition


Hawk LIF program

First major acquisition utilizing ‘5692 LSAR planned for through life utilization

Preliminary acquisition and modelling data Delivery with modelling data

Vendor sustainment expected OmegaPS Analyzer – LCC

Successes Validated LSAR delivered Savings (unreported) Vendor modelling/monitoring Drove Analyzer improvements


LAND 121

Multi-phase vehicle replacement program 12500 vehicle replaced over several phases Range from trailers to armoured transports

Phase 4 - RFQ/RFT requested LCC data in spreadsheet form Simplified vehicle breakdown Imported to Analyzer for initial evaluation 40 plus vehicle variants/configurations analyzed Sensitivities identified for further analysis

OEM ILS/LSA requirements – with MSA Option LSAR anticipated as requirement for final selection OEMs performing ILS/LSA now


Army Aviation

Supports Army Rotary wing assets MRD team responsibilities

Functional Analysis Maintenance Determination Maintenance Task Analysis Level of Repair Analysis Weapon System Database Promulgation of Policy Performance Monitoring Failure Analysis


Army Aviation

OmegaPS - Weapon System Database (WSDB) Central point for Maintenance Policy and updates Synchronised with CMMS tool

Live policy vs Approved policy Feedback and review

Produces approved policy documents Hardcopy or electronic from OmegaPS


Army Aviation Case Study

Relatively small numbers of platform types Some aging platforms

Platform ‘X’ Current capability being met ROE constrained by DLM

DLM nearing capacity

Desired alignment of maintenance policy with other operators Specific targets to achieve Improved DLM turnaround


Army Aviation Process

Data collected from numerous sources Existing LSAR Existing Policy Historical records (CMMS) Other users OEM guidance

Maintenance policy review Review, rationalise, and totally rewrite Validated policy Implement without disrupting current policy Spend minimal money Limited timeframe to achieve


OmegaPS Analysis

Systematic Analysis of each policy element RCM applied to each task Facilitated restructuring of tasks Allowed Draft policy proofing Traceability of all decisions Purified & Re-validated older LSAR data Completed ahead of original schedule


Results

New maintenance policy Aligns with other users & OEM Eliminated taskings not relevant to end-use

Significant ROE improvement Equivalent to additional airframes!

No requirement to expand DLM facilities Minimal additional costs for DLM, offset at other levels

Continuous deployment supported Turnaround reduced No need to return to Australia


Industry Examples

AIR87 – Armed Recon Helicopter LSAR originally developed to AAP5102.003 Converted to DEF(AUST)5692 pre-final delivery Vendor data management

Vendor product management Customer (ADO) in-service support

Wedgetail Co-developed LSAR for two major customers

Supporting both 1388 and 5692

Integrated Product Teaming Supporting customer KPI’s


Acquisition through Life

ILS/LSA Benefits recognised Contributing to Strategic Reform Program

Moving to CSDB approach to acquisition Better integration with in-service systems

Acquisition now aligning with in-service requirements No more ‘Dead cats over the fence’ Better modelling of tender data leads to better selections

Industry and Defence collaboration Deliveries focused on sustainment Vendor support aligned with capability requirements In-service data feedback mechanisms
