CG Maintenance Support Transformation

• Represents an overarching strategy to build on our Service's strengths

• 6-part formula is used to measure progress of logistics transformation

- Reorganizing into Product Lines

- Building the asset’s Integrated Baseline

- Enrolling in the Electronic Asset Log (EAL)

- Generating the asset class Allowance List

- Centralizing Maintenance Funds

- Pushing Parts to the Fleet

Fleet Sustainment & Modernization

• Non-linear Finite Element Analysis – define loading capacity of deformed,

corroded hull structure

• Operator Guidance System – display real-time quantitative data on

hull deflection/stress for risk analysis

• 3D Laser Scan – survey local & global hull deformations

• In Service Vessel Sustainment– WMEC, WLB, WTGB, MLB

• New Acquisitions– NSC, FRC, OPC, RBM
