The Service Life Sustainment Program for the Danish F-16 Block 15 aircraft

Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO)

The Framework Agreement regards the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization's (DALO) planning of a Service Life Sustainment Program (SLSP) for the wings of the 38 Danish F-16 Block 15 aircraft.
The SLSP encompasses the following two categories:
— Wing overhaul tasks (external and internal repairs and modifications to the F-16 Block 15 wing box);
— Overhaul tasks regarding the adjacent structure (repairs and modifications to the adjacent structure).
As an example the SLSP consists of (but is not limited to) the following specific tasks:
— Replacement of Pylon Rib 16W112-11/12 (BL71);
— 16W112 Rib Corrosion repair;
— Installation of 16W382 Leading Edge Flap Fairing Repair Plate at Leading Edge Flap Rotary Actuator #2;
— Installation of 16RW152 Lower Wing Skin Repair Doubler at Leading Edge Flap Rotary Actuator #4;
— Replacement of Tip Rib 16W115-801/802 with Tip Rib 16W1115-3/4;
— 16P410 Fuel Vent Tube Replacement, preventative OO-ALC Repair;
— Installation of Leading Edge Flaps ForceMate Bushings;
— NDI of wing according to T.O. 1F-16AM-36;
— Replacement of wing wiring;
— Replacement of Canopy Sill Longerons;
— Replacement of Leading Edge Flap Rotary Actuators according to TCTO 1F-16-1627;
— Repair of the Upper Outboard Bulkhead Flange Fastener Holes according to TCTO 1F-16-2672;
— 16RB528 Repair Installation of 16B5132 Closure Beam, Lower Flange Fittings, FS 301.82 to 365.82;
— Cx Spar Fuel Flow Holes (FTI Coldwork);
— 16W102 Wing Lower Skin Repair at Wing Attach Fittings, Internal, FTI TukLoc/ForceMate bushing installation;
— 16W102 Wing Lower Skin Repair at LEFRA #2;
— 16W130 Front Spar Repair at LEFRA locations, FTI ForceMate bushings and installation of #2 External Doubler Repair;
16W101 Wing Upper Skin Replacement;
— 16W101 Wing Upper Skin Tab Repair using FTI ForceMate bushings. This repair is under LM evaluation for Danish A/C due to the installation steel bushings during FALCON STAR.
The following 2 services are required from the Supplier in order for DALO to implement the SLSP:
1. Training Services.
— The Buyer does not possess experience in all SLSP tasks. Therefore, the Buyer requests the Supplier to conduct training of the Buyer's personnel (personnel from the Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) in these tasks in order to enable them to perform the tasks themselves. This training must be conducted either at the Buyer's facility in Denmark (Aalborg and Skrydstrup) or at the Supplier's facility.
2. Maintenance Services.
— The Supplier must be able to conduct wing overhaul tasks on the F-16 Block 15 wing boxes at the Supplier's facility. The Supplier must also have the capability to send up to 6 aircraft mechanics to perform SLSP tasks (wing overhaul tasks and overhaul tasks regarding the adjacent structure) at the Buyer's facility in Denmark (Aalborg and Skrydstrup), e.g. Upper Outboard Flange repair or drilling of Upper Wing Skin.
In most cases the Buyer will provide the necessary spare parts in order for the Supplier to conduct the SLSP tasks requested by the Buyer. However, the Supplier must be able to manufacture spare parts for SLSP tasks requested in order to avoid workstop in case the Buyer is not able to deliver these, e.g. Lower Flange Fittings for 16RB528 Repair Installation of 16B5132 Closure Beam, FS 301.82 to 365.82.
As an outline the plan is for the Buyer to perform the above mentioned tasks himself, with the acquisition of training services provided by the Supplier. It is therefore expected that the need for training services will be predominant in the first period of the contract and that the need for maintenance services will increase later on.
