Description:
This program includes permanent modifications that consist of configuration changes to in-service systems and equipment. These modifications
correct deficiencies, (material, design, etc.) add or delete capability. Safety modifications correct deficiencies which would potentially produce
hazards to personnel, systems or equipment. This budget line encompasses both new and on-going modification efforts for vehicular
equipment. The funds budgeted in FY03 are for "P-23 Hub Retrofit".
The P-23 fire truck modification is required as a result of critical failures in the hub assemblies due to cracks caused by metal fatigue. The
modification consists of a redesigned, improved hub assembly and retrofit of the P-23 fleet, 250 trucks. One contract is presently being awarded
for the redesign, testing, and manufacturing for the retrofit of the number 3 axle. Field level maintenance personnel will remove the old design
and replace with the redesigned hub. Total estimated modification cost is $8M.
Items requested in FY03 are identified on the P-40a and are representative of items to be procured. Items procured during execution may
change based on critical equipment needed to support current Air Force mission requirements.
