F-16 Systems Program Office (SPO) Support
Challenge
The F-16 SPO
faces significant challenges in sustaining the F-16. In
production for 25 years, more than 4,000 F-16s have been
produced. The F-16 is supported in 20 foreign countries, 36
Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve stateside bases,
ten USAF bases (five stateside and five overseas). Numerous
foreign military sales and aircraft configuration issues
must be continuously addressed to successfully support the
program.
Solutions
DRC has provided acquisition logistics
support to the F-16 SPO since 1997. Our work ensures needed
support to the F-16 war fighter through timely acquisition
of technical data, support equipment, and training. The DRC
Team assesses the adequacy of ECPs, logistics plans, and
other documents, and recommends improvements. We have
processed more than 40,000 TO changes; and successfully
transformed the TO library into the Joint Computer Aided
Logistics Support (JCALS) program.
Our team has played a key role in
integrating and supporting new F-16 aircraft operational
capabilities across the globe. Team support begins with
development of kit installation planning and follows through
to the post-installation logistics support requirements. DRC
integration projects range in complexity from an entire new
engine upgrade to new advanced avionics capabilities. The
team has also successfully supported integration of numerous
new capabilities for foreign military sales.
Benefits/Achievements

(RTOC) analysis has played a vital role in reducing F-16
operating and support costs.
- In transitioning to JCALS, DRC
successfully processed 40,000 Technical Order changes.
- DRC's RTOC analysis resulted in $50
million in savings.

performance ratings from our F-16 customer throughout
