Maintaining the many types of weapons systems within the Department of Defense (DoD) is a tremendous task and procuring replacement components is made especially difficult due to obsolescence and often time, excessive pricing. Many components are no longer available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the DoD does not have sufficient documentation to develop new suppliers. A new, streamlined process is required to quickly develop a Technical Data Package (TDP) that will provide improved product availability by developing alternate sources of expensive and difficult to procure components. During Phase I, ES3 will develop and demonstrate the feasibility of a streamlined process that will provide quick development of alternative sources for DoD components. ES3 will develop a quick but thorough Reverse Engineering (RE) process, a quick turn prototype manufacturing process and an efficient process for creating a Source Approval Request (SAR) to DLA and ultimately the Engineering Support Activity (ESA) for approval.
