Under the new award, BAE Systems’ Advanced Component
Obsolescence Management (AVCOM) will continue to help users
forecast when parts that are used in Air Force systems and
platforms will become obsolete. With access to a database comprised
of millions of parts and part types, AVCOM also assists logistics
supply mangers in identifying additional suppliers when needed, as
well as suitable replacement parts available across the
marketplace. AVCOM helps the Air Force be more proactive in
reducing sustainment costs, while helping to mitigate potential
redesigns caused by changes in part availability or
obsolescence.
“We help our customers anticipate, manage, and sustain any
system, to maximize its effectiveness throughout its life cycle,”
said Al Whitmore, president of BAE Systems’ Intelligence &
Security sector. “AVCOM offers assurance that the parts and raw
materials Air Force personnel need are available, and it gives them
ample time to address potential risks of shortages before problems
arise.”
AVCOM has supported a number of Air Force programs with
obsolescence management since 1991. Work on the latest award will
be performed at the company’s facilities in Florida, Georgia,
Oklahoma, and Utah, and will support Air Force operations
worldwide.
BAE Systems delivers a broad range of solutions and services
including intelligence analysis, cyber operations, IT, systems
development, systems integration, and operations and maintenance to
enable militaries and governments to recognize, manage, and defeat
threats. The company takes pride in supporting critical national
security missions that protect the nation and those who serve.
