US Air Force turns to data analytics to solve B-1, C-5 maintenance challenges 2018 - 09 - 25 - www.defensenews.com
The U.S. Air Force is making changes to the way it sustains the B-1B Lancer bomber and C-5 Super Galaxy cargo plane, moving to a maintenance approach that will allow it to use data analytics to predict problems, the acting head of Air Force Materiel Command said. Both the B-1 and C-5 fleets transitioned to a conditions-based maintenance model last month, Lt. Gen. Robert McMurry, commander of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, told Defense News in a Sept. 18 interview. ―Given the aging fleet situation that we have, we probably need to be using data better to take care of it
— which is a drive toward what most everyone right now is saying is the right way to manage fleet sustainment, which is through condition-based maintenance and data analytics,‖ he said. ―So we‘re trying to bring that on.‖ The approach — which involves using algorithms to predict the need for repairs rather than waiting for a part to break — is a standard practice in the commercial airline industry to help reduce maintenance-related delays or cancellations, but has been less common in the Air Force. AFMC determined it needed to make a greater push toward conditions-based maintenance as a result of servicewide... Lire la suite

Raytheon pitches USAF on F-35A auto-landing system 2018 - 09 - 20 -
www.flightglobal.com
After successfully integrating its Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS) on F-35B fighters and a growing number of US Navy aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships, Raytheon is pitching a modified version of the system to the US Air Force for auto-landing F-35A aircraft at expeditionary airfields. The company is in talks with the USAF on how exactly the service would like a portable system configured to automatically land the Lockheed Martin F-35A on remote airfields without traditional instrument landing systems. Such airfields may have difficult approaches due to surrounding mountains, bad weather or potential enemy fire. Raytheon says it is building a Humvee portable version of JPALS which could be transported to expeditionary air bases aboard a C-130J transport and set up in 60 to 90 minutes. The system would be able to manage 50 different aircraft making different... Lire la suite
U.S. approves Canada’s purchase of used Australia fighter jets – deal to be completed by end of year 2018 - 09 - 24 -

The U.S. government has approved Canada‘s purchase of used F-18 fighter jets from Australia, paving the way for the deal to be completed by the end of the year.

Dan Le Bouthillier of the Department of National Defence said Friday negotiations with Australia over the sale of the 25 used fighter jets is on-going. ―Should all negotiations and approvals move forward as planned, aircraft would start arriving in Canada in 2019, and the project remains on track to achieve this milestone,‖ he said. ―The delivery plan, including mode of delivery, will be finalized once negotiations are complete and the aircraft being purchased are selected.‖ In June, Postmedia reported that Canada had boosted the number of used Australian fighter jets it is purchasing to 25 from 18 but that the deal still...
