ALE successfully provided a full range of ILS services over the TMRR and EMD phases of a major Army Aviation program
ALE has been the Product Support Analysis (PSA) subcontractor to GE Aviation for the US Army Improved Turbine Engine Program (ITEP) thru the competitive TMRR phase and current EMD phase. GE’s Product Support Program was a contributing factor in the US Army’s down-select to the T901-GE-900 turboshaft engine to power the H-60, AH-64, and next generation vertical lift platforms.
ALE continues to be an integral teammate during the ITE Program, having contributed PSA experience and expertise to this development program for over five (5) years. ALE is executing a tailored supportability program that integrates Maintainability Engineering, Human Systems Integration/Human Factors Engineering (HSI/HFE), Support Equipment Engineering, and Technical Publications efforts to both influence the engine design for supportability, and design a robust and complete support system for the fielded engine. We have been able to utilize the over 30 years of GE T700 engine experience powering these same platforms to optimize the maintenance strategy, while leveraging the significantly enhanced Engine Health Monitoring and Controls System to increase engine availability and reduce maintenance burdens. Additionally, ALE has accelerated the development of a comprehensive SAE GEIA-STD-0007B compliant Logistics Product Data (LPD) database that will support development of the Integrated Product Support (IPS) elements (such as Technical Manuals, Provisioning, and Support Equipment), and provide detailed source data for the US Army to conduct organic maintenance planning.
