UPGRADE B777 ENGINE HUSH HOUSE COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM FRCSE - JACKSONVILLE1) Upgrade computer controlled jet engine test system in Building 777 (Hush House) similar to systems currently installed at other Navy and Air Forcefacilities. This project will allow testing of higher-thrust engines that our current test cells in Building 873 cannot test. Projected engine workload requires thishigher-thrust capability.2) Our current configuration in Building 777 can not test higher-thrust jet engines. This package will allow testing of broader range of jet engines and improveFRCSE's capacity for current and future work loads.3) Leaving building as is, this would block FRCSE from exploring additional workloads and hinder the planned future engine programs.4) FRCSE will not be able to test higher-thrust engines that are currently scheduled for 2013 and also preclude FRCSE from pursuing next generation jetengines.5) Not Applicable.FY 12REPLACE HORIZONTAL MILL (WOTON TM ) FRCE - CHERRY POINT1) Replace the WOTON TM Horizontal Milling Machine Equipment Identification Number (EIN) 65923011386 in the machine shop 93552. The WOTON TMmachines both the AV8B Harrier Wing Landing Gear. The current plan is to maintain this aircraft through 20182) The machine now has a hydraulic leak under the rotary table that consumes five gallons of fluid a month. The repair of the leak will cost $50,000 and 6 weekdown time. The hydraulic fluid frequently over heats and shuts the machine down. The ways of the machine are worn making holding tolerance difficult.The electronics are outdated and break down intermittently and spare parts are getting scarce.3) No alternatives available.4) This will result in FRCE not having the ability to maintain the AV8B Harrier Landing Gear, thereby impacting fleet readiness.5) Not ApplicableREPLACE LARGE ITEM STACKER (LIS) 2 AUTOMATED STORAGE KITTING AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM (ASKARS) STACKERS FRCE - CHERRY POINT1) Replace three (3) ASKARS unit load stackers (Large Item Storage 2 [LIS2] subsystem in Building 137) interfacing with existing aisles and storage pallets inthose aisles. Also, reconfigure/improve some storage rack locations for increased capacity.2) Downtime is a consistent problem due to part failure. Their downtime delays provision of aircraft kits and parts to the shops for assembly. In turn, productturn-around-time is always impacted, which in turn impacts cost. The eventual failure beyond repair is inevitable and perhaps imminent.3) Status quo: Current status is worn out storage stackers that are operable but with periods of downtime. There is no backup system for ASKARS. Rebuild:This alternative has been explored. However, it is not feasible since replacement parts for many components are no longer available. Replace: Considered tobe the most cost effective alternative.4) A complete halt to storage and retrieval of parts, and in turn, production will result.5) Not Applicable- Continued on Next PageExhibit Fund-9BCapital Purchase Justification
