January 2009 - AUSTRALIAN F/A-18F SUPER HORNET AIRCRAFT
LES SECURES A LOGISTIC SUPPORT ANALYSIS (LSA) PROJECT FOR THE AUSTRALIAN F/A-18F SUPER HORNET AIRCRAFT
Logistic Engineering Services Pty Ltd (LES) has been successful in its bid to develop the F/A-18F Super Hornet Air Vehicle Weapon System Database (WSDB), in support of Project AIR5349 Bridging Air Combat Capability. The Australian Super Hornet Project Office (ASHPO) awarded the Purchase Order under the provisions of the Defence Materiel Organisation Support Services (DMOSS) Panel for Phase 2 elements of its Logistic Support Analysis (LSA) Program, to LES on 12 November 2008. This follows LES involvement in Phase 1 activities to produce the Ground Support Equipment WSDB.
The LES LSA project comprises the production and delivery of the:
- F/A-18F Air Vehicle WSDB;
- Australian Defence Aviation Authorised Spares System (ADAASS) data sets for the F/A-18F Air Vehicle;
- 4 x WSBD for the F/A-18F Automated Test Equipment (ATE); and
- Provision of consultancy services to assist CAMM2 seeding and the transition of the WSDB and ADAASS into service.
The LES LSA project is essential in supporting the provision of a number of Instructions for Continuing Airworthiness and contributes to the type certification and sustainment of the Australian F/A-18F Super Hornet Aircraft. The project is being managed and resourced entirely from within LES to meet the tight delivery schedule for the capability, which will enter into service in March 2010.

September 2008 - BAE SYSTEMS AND MARSHALL AEROSPACE
BAE SYSTEMS AND MARSHALL AEROSPACE SELECT LES SOFTWARE
Logistic Engineering Services (LES) has secured an initial order from the BAE Systems LHD Project to purchase a number of licences of eMRD and eLORA to support the development of the LHD LSAR to meet Australian requirements.
Marshall Aerospace recently purchased licences of eMRD to reduce the effort required for the day to day engineering management of the C-130 fleets.
These purchases build on initial sales and leasing to RLM, Qantas Defence Services, Tenix Defence and Australian Aerospace and supports the growing interest in the effectiveness of these specialist applications.
eMRD is a DEF(AUST)5692 compliant database primarily designed to facilitate the development of the LSAR LCN structure and the conduct of maintenance requirements determination, FMEA, RCM and task analysis that supports the development of valid Technical Maintenance Plans (TMP) and Planned Servicing Schedules (PSS). The easy to use windows interface and single screen visibility provides the analyst with the ability to utilise the application’s intuitive functionality to reduce errors and provide significant efficiency gains.
eLORA is a MIL STD 1390D compliant application that facilitates the development of economic and non-economic Level of Repair Analysis rationale to support maintenance and sparing decisions.
The use of eMRD and eLORA has proven to significantly reduce resource requirements whilst minimising human induced errors.
