Destroyer Engineered Operating Cycle (DDEOC). System Maintenance Analysis CG-16 and CG-26 Class Exterior Communications System, SWAB Group 440 SMA 1626-440. Review of Experience

摘要

The goal of the Destroyer Engineered Operating Cycle (DDEOC) Program is to effect an early improvement in the material condition of ships at an acceptable cost, while maintaining or increasing their operational availability during an extended operating cycle. In support of this goal, system maintenance analyses (SMAs) are being conducted for selected systems and subsystems of designated surface combatants. The principal element of an SMA is the review of experience (ROE). This report documents the ROE for the CG-16 and CG-26 Class exterior communications systems, SWAB group 440. The ROE is an analysis of the impact of the historical maintenance requirements on the operational performance and maintenance program of a ship system and the significance of these requirements to the DDEOC Program. The report documents a recommended system maintenance policy and specific maintenance actions best suited to meeting DDEOC goals. The ROE for the exterior communications systems included an analysis of all available maintenance data sources. The documented maintenance experience of the system was reviewed through analysis of data from the maintenance data system (MDS), casualty reports (CASREPs), and system overhaul records. Initial findings from these sources were correlated with planned maintenance system (PMS) requirements, the alterations program, and system technical manuals.
