UPGRADE F402 TEST CELL FRCE - CHERRY POINT1) This FY12 project proposes to upgrade the computers, software, and hardware in the F402 test cell. Additional upgrade requirements to the test cell will beto replace the Coriolis flow meters, as well as, make modifications or corrections to the inlet temperature, air hoist (three of them), Foreign ObjectDebris(FOD)/corrosion issues and the Statistical Process Control (SPC) programs.2) Currently, there are FOD and corrosion issues in the exhaust of the test cell. With this issue, there is a danger of damaging a jet engine while the engine isbeing run full throttle during the testing phase.3) No other alternatives have been considered since this is the only engine test cell capability onsite.4) The current Data Acquisition Display and Controls System will become unsupportable and require continuing maintenance actions.5) Not ApplicableREPLACE MAGNAFLUX NON DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION LINE FRCE - CHERRY POINT1) This project will replace the current Magnaflux Non Destructive Inspection line with a new one. An increase in workload has prompted the need for thereplacement.2) There are high maintenance costs and it is getting too expensive to maintain this equipment. The alignment of the conveyor system is not accurate. Racksmove from their alignment when traveling from station to station.3) Status Quo – Shop 93668 cannot inspect parts on a timely basis. Downtime will continue to increase. The shop will not be as selective as where anengineering investigation can be done. Maintenance costs will continue to rise astronomically. It will become more difficult to obtain parts when the machinefails. Equipment will continue to breakdown if machine is not replaced.4) Shop 93668 cannot inspect parts for cracks and support workload for the CH-46 SEA KNIGHT, CH-53 SEA STALLION and AV-8B HARRIER aircraft.5) Not Applicable.PROCURE NON-DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION (NDI)/CLEANING LINE B724 FRCSE - JACKSONVILLE1) Procurement of a NDI/Cleaning line in Building 724 to support expanding engine programs. Two engine programs are expected to be relocated intoBuilding 724 to accommodate increased workload. The NDI/Cleaning line will support these two engine programs.2) The increased production of these engine programs within a limited amount of space causes congestion and delays in production.3) Engine parts could be sent to the NDI/Cleaning line in Building 794, but the additional transportation and handling of parts increases the risk of damage.Procurement of an NDI/Cleaning line for Bldg. 724 is the preferred alternative. This solution reduces the need to transport parts back and forth across the baseand minimizes risk of damage.4) Risk of damage from the transportation and handling of parts and any associated cost to repair damage engine parts.- Continued on Next PageExhibit Fund-9BCapital Purchase Justification
