New Report Examines U.S. DoD Spending on Maintenance and Repair of Aircraft and Aircraft Structural Components

DUBLIN, Ireland-(Business Wire)-August 13, 2008 - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d96c17/u_s_department_of) has announced the addition of the "U.S. Department of Defense Maintenance and Repair of Equipment/ Aircraft Structural: Historical Revenues, Trends and Participants" report to their offering.

— This report examines six years of U.S. DoD spending within the maintenance and repair of structural aircraft assemblies across all service branches

— It provides a six-year baseline of spending, market share analysis as well as major contracting office locations

— Research will also point to ongoing and anticipated DoD spending and contracting behavior

— Global deployments and overall DoD budget scenario are examined as contributing factors

— Where possible, major contracts are described, with an eye toward sunset and recompete provisions

— Not all contracts mentioned will be solely applicable to JO15, as MRO contracts encompass avionics, weapons systems, engines as well as structural maintenance, modification and repair

— Aging platforms, maintenance budget pressure and deployment wear and- tear are ongoing DoD maintenance challenges.

— Outsourcing to local operators (e.g. Korean Air) is an outsourcing business model in effect since 1978

— Ops tempo drives DoD MRO Aircraft Structural spending - effects of Afghanistan and Iraq extended deployments

— Drive to cut DoD MRO costs: Top-line DoD budget may be growing, but there is unrelenting pressure on the internal maintenance function

— In addition, there is an increase in the volume and complexity of DoD-wide maintenance, from organizational to depot levels

— Software and services companies are staking their futures on continuation of this trend in linking the "foxhole to the factory" to better facilitate the MRO function

— DoD faces these and other challenges in maintaining readiness:

— Raw Materials Shortages (e.g. aerospace-grade steel and alloys)

— A Diminishing Supplier Base Means Fewer Choices for all Types of DoD Sourcing

— DoD Operations Tempo and Increased Spending Creates Acute

— Needs for Weapons Systems Availability

— Anticipation of Tighter Numbers in Inventories for Parts, Powerplants, Aircraft, Ground Vehicles and Ships

— In Many Cases Ships, Ground Vehicles and Aircraft in U.S. Inventories are More then 20 Years Old, with no Replacement on the Horizon. Look for more recapitalization programs if ops tempo in the GWOT remains constant

— When possible DoD is taking measures to decrease its MRO geographic footprint -0- *T Key Topics Covered: - Title slide - About this study - J015: Outlook (4 slides) - J015: Total Spending (2001-2006) - J015: Spending by Service Branch (2001-2006) - J015: Spending Percentage by Service Branch (2001-2006) - J015: Number of Revenue Reporting Locations (2001-2007) - J015: Market Leader Revenues in $ Million (2001- 2006) - J015: Tier One Company Revenues (2001-2006) - The Boeing Company: J015 Revenues in $ Million (2001-2006) - Boeing: Contracts and Trends (8 slides) - Dyncorp: J015 Revenues in $ Million (2001-2006) - Dyncorp: Contracts and Trends - Computer Sciences Corporation: J015 Revenues in $ Million (2001-2006) - CSC: Contracts and Trends - Lear Siegler: J015 Revenues in $ Million (2001- 2006) - Lear Siegler: Contracts and Trends (2 slides) - Lockheed Martin: J015 Revenues in $ Million (2001- 2006) - Lockheed Martin: Contracts and Trends (2 slides) - L-3: J015 Revenues in $ Million (2001-2006) - L-3: Contracts and Trends (3 slides) - McDonnell Douglas: J015 Revenues in $ Million (2001-2006) - McDonnell Douglas: Contracts and Trends (3 slides) - Northrop Grumman: J015 Revenues in $ Million (2001-2006) - Northrop Grumman: Contracts and Trends (3 slides) - Sikorsky: J015 Revenues in $ Million (2001-2006) - Sikorsky: Contracts and Trends (2 slides) - J015: Tier Two Company Revenues (2001-2006) - Agusta Westland: J015 Revenues in $ Million (2001- 2006) - Agusta Westland: Contracts and Trends - Bell Textron/Bell Aerospace Services: J015 Revenues in $ Million - Bell Textron: Contracts and Trends - Canadian Commercial Corporation: J015 Revenues in $ Million (2001-2006) - Canadian Commercial Corporation: Contracts and Trends (2 slides) - Doss Aviation: J015 Revenues in $ Million (2001-2006) - Doss Aviation: Contracts and Trends - Kaman Aerospace: J015 Revenues in $ Million (2001- 2006) - Kaman Aerospace: Contracts and Trends - Korean Airlines: J015 Revenues in $ Million (2001- 2006) - Korean Airlines: Contracts and Trends - J015: Fiscal Year 2006 Synopsis - J015: Market Share Leaders (2006) pie chart - J015: Market Share Leaders in $ Million (2006) barchart - J015: Companies with revenues between $3 and $16 million (2006) - J015: Fiscal Year 2005 Synopsis - J015: Market Share Leaders in $ Million (2005) pie chart - J015: Market Share leaders in $ Million (2005) bar chart - J015: Companies with revenues between $1 and $13 million (2005) - J015: Fiscal Year 2004 Synopsis - J015: Market Share Leaders in $ Million (2004) pie chart - J015: Market Share leaders in $ Million (2004) bar chart - J015: Companies with revenues between $1 and $8 million (2004) - J015: Fiscal Year 2003 Synopsis - J015: Market Share Leaders in $ Million (2003) pie chart - J015: Market Share leaders in $ Million (2003) bar chart - J015: Companies with revenues between $1 and $8 million (2003) - J015: Fiscal Year 2002 Synopsis - J015: Market Share Leaders in $ Million (2002) pie chart - J015: Market Share leaders in $ Million (2002) bar chart - J015: Companies with revenues between $1 and $7 million (2002) - J015: Fiscal Year 2001 Synopsis - J015: Market Share Leaders in $ Million (2001) pie chart - J015: Market Share leaders in $ Million (2001) bar chart - J015: Companies with revenues between $3 and $16 million (2001) - DoD Maintenance Facts and Figures - FY 2005 DoD: Maintenance as a Portion of Total Budget in $ Billion - FY 2005 DoD: Maintenance Personnel by Type - Broad DoD Maintenance Categories - DoD: the 50/50 Rule (1) - The 50/50 Rule (2) Commercial and Organic Maintenance Distribution by Service Branch (FY 2005) - 2007-2011 Trend Analysis - J015: Spending Forecast (2007-2011) - J015: Spending Forecast Rationale - Platform-Specific Opportunity Analysis - J015: Selected DoD Airframe Average Age and Availability Assessment - AH-64 Apache - CH-47 D/F Chinook - CH-46E Sea Knight - CH-53E Super Stallion - EA-6B Prowler - P-3 Orion - C-5 Galaxy - KC-135 Stratotanker *T
