Reliability, Maintainability and Availability

Improvement Program

• There are three tasks associated with this program

1. R&M program administration

2. Idea generation and triage

3. Business case analysis

• “Start-Up” funding is via LRIP 7 annualized sustainment 

 – CLIN 901 para 24.2.1.2 The Contractor shall utilize existing decision

support tools to facilitate the evaluation and implementation of

alternative actions including the initiation of new/revised air system

product designs that incorporate R&M/PHM improvements,

manufacturing changes, training updates, sustainment process and

performance-based logistics improvements
