Sustaining Engineering is one of the 12 Integrated Product Support (IPS) Elements used by logisticians to provide a robust, all-inclusive sustainment package for deployed military systems. Interestingly, Sustaining Engineering takes more than just logisticians: it involves the efforts of engineers, program managers, analysts, contract specialists, the T&E workforce, and all the other functional disciplines within NAVAIR. Sustaining Engineering must be understood as the foundation for the other 11 IPE Elements.
This 1-day course covers the basics of how a dynamic sustaining engineering feedback loop ensures that the systems are safe, reliable, ready, viable, and relevant, The course reviews the people, processes, and resources that come together to make it all happen.
