Press Release
CLEARFIELD, Utah - December 15, 2004 - TopVue, a leading small business provider of DoD focused information technology solutions, today announced the release of capability to track critical part serial numbers for aging A-10 aircraft. The A-10 program office had the need to track wing serial numbers with respect to the history of thier use per aircraft tail number. Such capability helps support engineers in determining service life of wings and other critical airframe parts. TopVue rolled up their sleeves and delivered the required capability within 90 days.
The A-10 program office is part of the Mature and Proven Aircraft Directorate (MAPA) at the Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill AFB. The directorate is responsible for a multitude of weapon systems (over 30 to include A10, F4, F5, T37, T38), operated by the USAF, US Navy, NASA, other government agencies, and 64 foreign countries. The continuing engineering and support of mature and proven aircraft requires the generation, archival, and management of numerous and diverse information objects and their interdependencies. The TopVue off-the-shelf system was purchased by MAPA and implemented as MAPA.net. TopVue provides a common repository system for weapon system configuration management data, document management, and OSS&E compliance. This capability enables the MAPA directorate to identify the current baseline and track all configuration changes to the aircraft within MAPA responsibility.
The use of MAPA.net has allowed a small team to manage CM and OSS&E processes and weapon system support processes across several program offices, as well as to maintain compliance with IG Unit Compliance Inspections and other regulations. This has resulted in cost avoidance for added personnel for this function.
"Our support of MAPA is strategic to our commitment to aging weapon systems. This project has shown the value of our flexible architecture to meet non-standard feature request delivery in a short turn-around time," stated Bill Farr, CEO of TopVue.
Enabling. Transformation.
