Project Final Report: Enhanced Wiring Integrity Systems

Project findings are presented from the Enhanced Wiring Integrity System (EWIS) Project. The wiring system is the infrastructure that links electrical, electromechanical and electronics subsystems. Wiring is truly a critical system that requires new maintenance tools and processes.

Project objectives were to implement a single or common test system to provide solutions that: are applicable to the joint services - Navy, Air Force, Army, and Marines; reduce the work-hours expended troubleshooting and repairing materiel electrical wiring systems; and increase the reliability of materiel with preventive and predictive maintenance.

The EWIS project provided improved commercially-available test systems to enhance the troubleshooting and testing capabilities of the maintainers and ultimately improving the overall integrity of electrical wiring systems. The user-friendly product is in use at multiple DoD sites.

The Process Substitution Methodology project for composite materials provided immediate benefit to the Department of Defense (DoD) war fighting capability during missions in Afghanistan, Kosovo and Iraq.

The primary goal of this project was to develop and install the basic tools required to support material state management approach upon which the substitution methodology is based. The rapid revision of the processes that allowed for expansion of the Predator mission is just one example of potential applications. The material state management approach provides production personnel and support engineers with visibility on the effects of changes in process of the composite.

A variety of landing gear components are failing without having reached their desired service lives. The failures are due primarily to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and fatigue. The objective of this project was to improve the fatigue life and SCC resistance through the application of laser peening technology to selected components.

Team members on this project were the Aging Landing Gear Life Extension Program (ALGLE) at Ogden Air Logistics Center, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), the University of California (Davis), and the Metal Improvement Company. The project was funded and managed through the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) Commercial Technologies Maintenance Activities (CTMA) program.
