U.S. Air Force Selects Intergraph® Government Solutions for Scheduled Maintenance Program (SMP) Transformation

MADISON, Ala., Dec. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Intergraph^® Government Solutions (IGS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intergraph Corporation serving the U.S. federal market, was awarded a contract by the U.S. Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) to transform the F-15 Eagle's Scheduled Maintenance Program (SMP) using Maintenance Steering Group-3 (MSG-3) practices. The contract is valued at $6.9 million if all options are exercised.

IGS' integrated MSG-3 solution, expressly adapted for and applied on military aircraft, will serve as the vehicle to transform the F-15 Eagle's SMP thereby enabling more effective and efficient maintenance of the F-15 fleet. IGS will deliver a new MSG-3 SMP baseline, commercial best practice technical data and the full range of capabilities to sustain the fleet over its lifecycle. 

"IGS is enthusiastic about the opportunity to apply our value-added solutions to the F-15 fleet that have benefitted other Air Force weapon systems," said Gerald King, IGS senior vice president. "We are eager to provide the F-15 program office our proven world-class technical expertise for integration of commercial best practices that enhance aircraft safety, boost reliability, shrink maintenance costs and support extended lifecycles."

IGS will bring to the F-15 effort the experience and expertise that it applied in similar efforts for the C-5 and UH-1N programs. The firm's combination of relevant MSG-3 performance in both commercial and legacy military aircraft ensures a proven, low risk application of best practices for F-15. IGS will perform the work in Warner Robins, Georgia. 

In response to the United States Department of Defense's aging aircraft fleets, declining budgets and increasing maintenance costs, IGS developed SmartMaintenanceFast^SM, an innovative MSG-3 program for military aircraft and helicopters. SmartMaintenanceFast satisfies all requirements of the Airlines for America's (A4A's) latest MSG-3 revision (2013.1) and ensures full compliance with military-unique regulations, policies, missions and environmental requirements. Consisting of FleetVector^SM maintenance solutions and FleetInsight^SM technology products, SmartMaintenanceFast ensures platform safety, high performance and affordability.
