L -- SERVICE LIFE ASSESSMENT & EXTENSION POC Contact, Stacy S. Bostjanick, Phone (703)604-2000 The Naval Air Systems Command intends to issue an Order under BOA N00019-95-G-0208, for the advance analysis required for the S-3 Full Scale Fatigue Test (FSFT). Lockheed Martin Aeronautical System (LMAS) is the designer, developer and sole manufacturer of the S-3/ES-3 aircraft. LMAS is the only known source with the expertise and technical data necessary to complete the analysis. The effort includes the test article selection, preparation of the test article for delivery, establishment of the fatigue life baseline of the test article and, using the existing Finite Element Model and knowledge of the aircraft, loads, the development of a test loading spectrum and the initial Service Life Extention Program (SLEP) fatigue analysis to identify any additional critical areas on the airframe in terms of fatigue/service life. In addition, the effort also contains analysis of a SLEP kit installation, development of jack loads from the test loading spectrum, development of aircraft tracking algorithms based Structural Data Recording Set (SDRS) and individual fatigue life baselining.
