• Strategy – Leveraging best of commercial and military support practices
Maintenance – 2 level (Flight line & depot), organic FAA type certification maintained per clauses H010 & H011 ICS available until transition to organic options
Supply – Contractor Supported Weapon System during EMD Contractor performs all levels of supply for EMD aircraft Contractor is ICP and Source of Supply for peculiar spare parts
until transition to organic Data Management – Competitively-priced data rights to achieve
complete organic depot-level maintenance

Sustainment Strategy
20Unrivaled Global Reach for America … ALWAYS!
During EMD• Contractor performs all levels of maintenance & material support
During first five years of production (Interim Contractor Support)• Five yearly options for contractor to perform depot maintenance• Blue suit flightline maintenance
Transition to organic depot maintenance:• Complete Sustainment BCA• Conduct phased depot planning• C-Check Standup (two years after 1st LRIP a/c delivery)• Establish Part 145 FAA certification equivalency• Phased depot activations by subsystem

Supply – the contractor• During EMD and first five years of production (Interim Contractor Support)
Performs all levels of supply Is Inventory Control Point (ICP) and Source of Supply
• Transition to organic supply chain: Conduct provisioning conference Establish Enhanced Resident ILS activity at contractor facility Perform initial cataloging and provisioning Establish Government ICP via logistics reassignments Use of Commercial Parts Pool may result in large savings to USAF
