As part of the Anniston Army Depot Integrated Systems Response Center contract, SES developed the technical data and identified the Mandatory Replacement Parts (MRPs) required to disassemble, to overhaul, to inspect/repair, and to reassemble the M1A1 Stabilized Commanders Weapons Station (SCWS). For SCWS Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) and associated Special Tools and Test Equipment (STTE), SES facilitated the development of the Provisioning Level TDP, Level Of Repair Analysis (LORA), Reliability and Maintainability criteria, and LRU Overhaul Instructions with the OEM.

The purpose of the effort was to enable the United States Marine Corp (USMC) to establish an overhaul capability at Anniston Army Depot (ANAD). The effort incorporated numerous analyses to include Line Replacement Unit (LRU) Analysis, a Level of Repair Analysis (LORA), all associated provisioning, and Reliability and Maintainability. SES researched and identified all necessary Mandatory Replacement Parts (MRP) and provided a sustainable and supportable Bill of Material (BOM) to facilitate an appropriate overhaul. The effort culminated in the development of Overhaul Instructions for the SCWS System and subsequent LRUs. SES conducted Overhaul Instruction prototype and validation events to ultimately support the US Government’s verification event of the Overhaul Instructions.

SES collaborated closely with the ANAD, the USMC, and the OEM early and often to assure absolute transparency and clarity of requirements. SES’ deep experience, broad range of capabilities, and customer focused approach ultimately put the US Government in a favorable position to facilitate cost effective overhauls.

M1A1 Multi-Purpose Tank Blade (MPTB)

As part of the Anniston Army Depot Integrated Systems Response Center contract, SES developed the complete M1A1 Multi-Purpose Tank Blade (MPTB) Technical Data Package (TDP) and Overhaul Instruction for the US Government. A $1.2M program, SES provided Level II drawing packages at the System and Subsystem levels for the MPTB System.

The purpose of the effort was to enable the US Government to establish a Depot Level Overhaul Capability for the M1A1 MPTB system. This effort required SES to develop engineering data to be used for provisioning purposes for the MPTB system; perform a LRU Analysis; develop overhaul instructions; Update existing Technical Manuals (TM); develop a Preliminary Level-of-Repair-Analysis (LORA) to determine the level of maintenance and technical documentation. SES conducted Overhaul Instructions and TM updates prototype and validation events to ultimately support the US Government’s verification event of the Overhaul Instructions and TM updates.

SES collaborated closely with the ANAD and the USMC early and often to assure absolute transparency and clarity of requirements. SES’ deep experience, broad range of capabilities, and customer focused approach ultimately put the US Government in a favorable position to facilitate cost effective overhauls.

Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV) Stabilized Commanders Weapons Station (SCWS) & Turret Machining

As part of the Anniston Army Depot Integrated Systems Response Center contract, SES procured, fabricated, assembled, tested, and kitted the Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV) Stabilized Commanders Weapon Station (SCWS) modification kits. Additionally, SES updated Technical Manuals, provided Engineering and Technical documentation support as well as developed New Equipment Training Team (NETT) courseware. A $17 million plus program with scheduled deliveries of 52 complete kits, 1 spares lot, Technical Manual (TM) Updates, and NETT courseware development. Key to our success was SES demonstrating flexibility and assurance to mitigate production risk by closely with vendors to accelerate deliveries from Government directed sources for various assemblies ahead of schedule.

Fabrication and Testing: SES fabricated all non-source controlled assemblies which included large mechanical structures, precision milled components, electro-mechanical assemblies, and wiring harnesses. SES collaborated closely with the USMC customer to mitigate issues with USG provided drawing package, assuring a successful first article. SES delivered in monthly lots of 10 kits beginning within three (3) months after the Full Rate Production Release. Upon completing base kits, SES procured and fabricated one (1) lot of spares to support SCWS fielding. SES supported government testing with engineers at test locations to develop and document assembly and testing procedures.

TM Updates: SES comprehensively updated all applicable SCWS operator and maintenance manuals based on the applied modification. In some cases SES scaled these updates to specifically fit customer unique requirements.

NETT: SES worked closely with the USMC to develop an operator and maintainer courseware Training Support Package (TSP) for the SCWS system. The TSP included Instructor Lesson Plan, Slide Presentation and student handouts to support the training activity. Additionally, SES conducted Instructor/Key Personnel Training (IKPT) for operators and maintainers. As a demonstration of flexibility and risk mitigation, SES aggressively completed an un-validated draft of the courseware ahead of schedule, at the customer’s request, to support a timely fielding decision for the ABV SCWS system. SES used the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model approach, thus enabling a solid risk mitigation strategy. This approach, coupled with recurring Training Conference Reviews (TCR), ultimately ensured the USMC was informed on status and composition of the training development effort real time as well quickly resolving issues. SES’ collaborative customer engagement is a hallmark of how we do business in order to assure a well-developed and quality product delivered on schedule and on budget.
