The government is requesting information from industry in regards to capability and technical maturity in implementing a Digital Engineering and Management Solution for the B-1 Fleet. The B-1 is in sustainment with new weapons development work potentially in the future. The aircraft has flown five times its certified service life and is experience structural issues impacting aircraft availability (AA). The SPO is looking for ways to predict structural issues and have planned repairs in place to increase AA, decrease periodic depot maintenance (PDM) and field repair times, and enhance structural integrity. We are looking to be cost effective in all implementations and look to create a consortium of industry partners who can participate in the Digital Engineering transition and access our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution. All solutions must be sustainable well into the future and adaptable to new situations. All solutions must include open systems architecture and be non-proprietary government owned.
