EVACUATE THE EQUIPMENT TO THE NEXT HIGHER LEVEL OF REPAIR IS TIME-SENSITIVE, MUCH LIKE
FIELD, AND THE
SYSTEM-OF-SYSTEMS APPROACH PROVIDES A LOGICAL AND SEQUENTIAL METHOD FOR MAINTAINERS TO DETERMINE QUICKLY THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF REPAIR.
support capabilities that Army ordnance formations need to address an array of maintenance challenges.
Today, this includes a system-of-systems approach
that connects the Army’s
flagship ordnance platforms into a field maintenance capability
greater than
its constituent parts. Te “Defense Acquisition Guidebook” defines a system of systems as “a set or arrangement of systems that results from independent systems integrated into a larger system that delivers unique capabilities.”
Typically arrayed across the battlespace to balance all levels of
support, the
eight systems fielded by PM SKOT leverage complementary, interconnected capabilities and provide state-of-the-art, containerized tool systems at specific levels of need for the joint warfighter. Te result is to make them easily scalable and to ensure that commanders in all environments can quickly repair wheeled and tracked vehicles, ground support equipment and weapon systems.
With industrial-quality tools, this set of individual field maintenance platforms collectively reduces common tool redun- dancy,
provides tool standardization,
minimizes transportation requirements and is backed by the PM SKOT’s war- ranty and replacement program.
A useful way to understand each system’s role is an analogy to medical triage and care, with the varied responsibilities of first responders, emergency rooms, hos- pitals and specialty clinics. Health care professionals assess the symptoms and then direct the patient to the appropri- ate level of care. Te same can be said for 91 series military occupational specialty (MOS) mechanics using the ordnance capabilities provided by PM SKOT. Fol- lowing are the eight platforms.
Te Shop Equipment Contact Maintenance (SECM) represents
the
maintenance first responders who con- duct initial assessments with a tools enclosure and work area mounted on an up-armored High Mobility Multi- purpose Wheeled Vehicle. Te SECM is designed to transport two trained mechanics to conduct triage, take immediate repair actions or call for recovery assets. With its mobility, agil- ity and maintenance capability, the SECM is a combat multiplier that gets equipment back into the fight as far forward as possible.
Te Forward Repair System (FRS) represents the emergency room, where rapid repairs and/or further assessments are conducted with more sophisticated equipment. Te
system provides a
mobile maintenance and repair capa- bility that allows commanders to
return heavy-force combat systems to fully operational condition. Te 10,000-pound crane on the FRS pro- vides unique lift capability to facilitate heavy repairs.
Te Standard Automotive Tool Set (SATS) represents the hospital, where most major repairs are completed. Te SATS provides commanders a com- mon tool set to perform extensive field maintenance. Te system contains an electric power generator, environmen- tal control unit and ergonomic storage space for complete tool loads.
Shop Equipment Welding (SEW) rep- resents a specialty clinic configured to address all types of repairs, providing spectrum welding capabilities through- out the battlespace in all climate and light conditions. Te SEW provides compressed air, electrical power for hand tools and an illuminated work surface complete with a vise.
Te Hydraulic System Test and Repair Unit (HSTRU)
represents
a specialty clinic that specializes in hydraulic repairs, providing substan- tial line and hose repair capabilities to perform diagnostic testing and repair for tracked, wheeled and various other ground systems. Te HSTRU includes the ability to fabricate current industry- standard hoses with modern crimping technology.
Te Metal Working and Machin- ing Shop Set (MWMSS) represents a specialty clinic that focuses on parts fabrication and metal working repairs. Te MWMSS, currently in develop- ment, will combine multiple legacy systems into one consisting of
two
shop sets that will translate into a com- prehensive metalworking and repair system. MWMSS production is sched- uled to begin in 2014.
Te Armament Repair Shop Set (ARSS) represents a specialty clinic deal- ing with armament repairs—updating
