This includes support ranging from on-wing
through intermediate and depot level
maintenance, under a five year base contract
that began in 2008. Rolls-Royce uses MissionCare
to apply commercial Power By The Hour principles
to the unique requirements of the defense
industry.
Paul Craig, Rolls-Royce, President Defense
Services, said “Our MissionCare contract with
the US Navy is one of our most successful
partnerships and we take great pride in
supporting the training of new aviators for the
Navy and Marine Corps. We look forward to
another successful year, working in partnership
with our customer to maximize engine
availability for training missions.”
Under the terms of the agreement, which is
administered by the Naval Air Systems Command
(NAVAIR), Rolls-Royce will provide inventory
control, as well as integrated logistics support
and required engineering elements for both the
F405 engine and the aircraft gas turbine
starting system. This contract
provides comprehensive propulsion services to
more than 200 aircraft, operating at four main
Naval Air Stations - Kingsville, Texas;
Meridian, Mississippi; Pensacola, Florida; and
Patuxent River, Maryland.
