Traditionally, custody and maintenance responsibilities of Armament Weapons Support Equipment (AWSE) were assigned to the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD). In 1986, intermediate maintenance responsibilities were transferred from the AIMD to the Weapons Department under the Armament Weapons Support Equipment Program (AWSEP). AWSEP was a program to implement Office of the Chief of Naval Operations policies for the allowance, management, and maintenance of conventional AWSE. Office of the Chief of Naval Operations Instruction (OPNAVINST) 4790.2E revised this program by removing the 'Program' status leaving the title as AWSE. This change caused the United States Marine Corps (USMC) to become part of the AWSE effort, as they had previously been exempt from the AWSEP program when implemented. AWSE is assigned to the AIMD/Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron (MALS) as custodian, and is issued to the Weapons Department under long term sub-custody, along with the maintenance responsibilities. The custodian AIMD/ MALS assumes maintenance actions that are beyond the capability of the Weapons Department.
Maintenance associated with AWSE is performed at the three levels of maintenance as prescribed by the Naval Airborne Weapons Maintenance Program, OPNAVINST 8600.2B and the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program, OPNAVINST 4790.2G. The maintenance management of AWSE is an intermediate level function within the Weapons Department and/or MALS. Maintenance management of AWSE is within the capability of the Aviation Ordnanceman (AO) rating and existing Navy Enlisted Classifications (NECs). USMC personnel holding MOS 6541 perform AWSE functions at the MALS. AWSE requires no change to manpower for squadrons, AIMDs, weapons departments (ashore or afloat), MALS, and training activities.
The training track for AWSE maintenance management has been changed. Training Track, D/E-646-7100, is currently in use and has been modified by the model manager to intensify ordnance-related data. This training track modification includes a course specifically designed for Navy AO personnel for the maintenance management of weapons support equipment. This modification changed the current training track length from 3.4 weeks to 2.4 weeks. Upon successful completion of this track, students will be awarded NEC 6810. Training track D/E-646-7100 has never included USMC personnel, despite the requirement for MALS to establish and run the AWSE Work Center 731. USMC personnel with MOS 6541 receive their AWSE maintenance management training as part of On-the-Job Training (OJT).

D.SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.Operational Uses. The maintenance management of Armament Weapons Support Equipment, from here on referred to as AWSE, is provided under the guidance of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) policy for the allowance, management, and maintenance of conventional AWSE. Guidance governing policies and procedures are provided in the Naval Airborne Weapons Maintenance Program (NAWMP), OPNAVINST 8600.2B and the Naval Aviation Maintenance Program (NAMP), OPNAVINST 4790.2G. Responsibility for AWSE and associated maintenance functions resides with the Weapons Department/Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron (MALS) with support of the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD).
2.Foreign Military Sales. NA
E.DEVELOPMENTAL TEST AND OPERATIONAL TEST
1. Developmental Test and Operational Test Not Completed. NA
2. Developmental Test and Operational Test Completed. Fleet operational investigations for the Armament Weapons Support Equipment Program (AWSEP) were successfully conducted from February 1980 to March 1983 at the following locations:
F. AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT/SYSTEM/SUBSYSTEM REPLACED. No AWSE maintenance management requirements were replaced by the implementation of the AWSEP.
G.DESCRIPTION OF NEW DEVELOPMENT
1.Functional Description. The AWSE program was developed to implement OPNAV policy for the allowance, management, and maintenance of armament weapons support equipment by Weapons Departments instead of the traditional AIMD maintenance concept. The concepts and procedures outlined in the NAWMP, OPNAVINST 8600.2B and NAMP, OPNAVINST 4790.2G are directed toward solving fleet problems on selected items of AWSE. The program's objective is to ensure all AWSE is properly assigned, controlled, and maintained; and that all maintenance (preventive and corrective) is properly documented at Weapons Departments, both ashore and afloat.
2.Physical Description. NA
3.New Development Introduction. The AWSE program was introduced to fleet activities incrementally by site, with full implementation of the program being completed in 1988.
4.Significant Interfaces. NA
5.New Features, Configurations, or Material. NA
H. CONCEPTS
1. Operational Concept. AWSE maintenance functions are assigned, controlled, maintained, and documented by Navy Intermediate Maintenance Activities, (Weapons Department and AIMD). In the United States Marine Corps (USMC) this function is assigned to the MALS. The controlling documents that identify the department responsible for AWSE maintenance is the AIMD Individual Material Readiness List (IMRL), which is generated from the Support Equipment Resource Management Information System (SERMIS). The Armament Section of the AIMD IMRL identifies the Weapons Department's Support Equipment (SE) requirements and maintenance level responsibility, and provides identification, inventory, and maintenance management information. A Local Asset Management System (LAMS) List 04 report is generated by the Main IMRL division when IMRL items are sub-custody to individual work centers. The LAMS 04 list reports those IMRL items that are under long term sub-custody to the Weapons Department.
2. Maintenance Concept. Maintenance of Armament Weapons Support Equipment is accomplished using the basic maintenance philosophy outlined in OPNAVINST 4790.2G, and specific Armament Weapons Support Equipment maintenance instructions outlined in OPNAVINST 8600.2B. Currently a NEC does not exist identifying AWSE maintenance technicians. Efforts are underway to develop an AWSE Maintenance Technician NEC (68XX) awarding course for USN personnel. USMC AWSE personnel will remain Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 6541.
a.Organizational. Organizational level maintenance activities perform daily and pre-operational inspections and corrosion prevention, cleaning, and minor treatment procedures.
b.Intermediate. Intermediate level maintenance activities perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance actions which are beyond the scope and capability of organizational level maintenance and are necessary to maintain or restore AWSE to inherent design levels of performance, reliability, and material condition. Weapons Department personnel with NEC 6810 manage the following intermediate level maintenance functions.
c. Advanced Intermediate Level Maintenance. Intermediate level maintenance actions that are beyond the capability of the Weapons Department are considered advanced intermediate level tasks and are assumed by the custodian AIMD. Advanced intermediate level maintenance includes:
d.Depot. Maintenance that is beyond the capability of the AIMD is designated as depot level maintenance. Depot level maintenance functions are carried out at industrial establishments having more extensive facilities, skills, and materials than fleet and field activities. Depot level activities may be government-owned and operated, government-owned and contractor operated, or contractor-owned and operated. Depot level activities are authorized to perform all repair, replacement, modification, and overhaul actions prescribed by the applicable equipment maintenance plans, technical manuals, and technical directives approved and issued by the NAVAIRSYSCOM.
e.Interim Maintenance. NA
f.Life Cycle Maintenance Plan. NA
3.Manning Concept. The intermediate level maintenance workload and administrative support requirements of each Weapons Department drive AWSE manning. Maintenance management of AWSE is within the capability of existing NECs 6810. A manpower issue exists in that currently there is no NEC for AWSE maintenance technicians. It is anticipated, once established, the AWSE maintenance technician (NEC 68XX) requirement may increase billets by 4 to7 personnel at major AWSE sites.
4.Training Concept. Training track D/E-646-7100, which includes AWSE maintenance management procedures, is currently taught at Maintenance Training Unit (MTU) 4033, Naval Air Maintenance Training Group Detachment (NAMTRAGRU DET) North Island, California, and MTU 4032, NAMTRGRU DET Norfolk, Virginia. However, a new training course, the Armament Weapons Support Equipment Maintenance Manager Course, C-646-3108, has been added to the D/E-646-7100 training track and specifically instructs Navy Aviation Ordnanceman (AO) personnel in the management of AWSE. Aviation Support Equipment Maintenance Managers course, C-500-3202, has been deleted from D/E-646-7100. Therefore, since fourth quarter FY98, D/E-646-7100 consists of only the Command Indoctrination Course, C-600-3601, and AWSE Manager Course, C-646-3108. Total track length for D/E-646-7100 is 16 days.
USMC personnel with MOS 6541 receive their AWSE maintenance management training as part of On-the-Job Training (OJT).
The maintenance of AWSE is being taught by Managed OJT at the Weapons Department, and informal training by the custodian AIMD. An NEC awarding course of instruction to train AO personnel maintenance functions on AWSE is in development. This course will be added to the training track, D/E-646-7100, when it becomes available. In addition to the AWSE specific training track, familiarization training in AWSE is provided in C-646-2011, Aviation Ordnanceman Common Core Class A1, and C-646-2012, Aviation Ordnanceman Weapons Department Strand Class A1.
Opnavinst 4790.2 series instructions
The established training concept for most aviation maintenance training divides 'A' School courses into two or more segments called Core and Strand. 'A' School Core courses include general knowledge and skills training for the particular rating, while 'A' School Strand courses focus on the more specialized training requirements for that rating and a specific aircraft or equipment, based on the student's fleet activity destination. Strand training immediately follows Core training and is part of the 'A' School.

I. ON-BOARD (IN-SERVICE) TRAINING
1.Proficiency or Other Training Organic to the New Development
a. Maintenance Training Improvement Program. The Maintenance Training Improvement Program (MTIP) is used to establish an effective and efficient training system responsive to fleet training requirements. MTIP is a training management tool that, through diagnostic testing, identifies individual training deficiencies at the organizational and intermediate levels of maintenance. MTIP is the comprehensive testing of one's knowledge. It consists of a bank of test questions managed through automated data processing. The Deputy Chief of Staff for Training assisted in development of MTIP by providing those question banks (software) already developed by the Navy. MTIP was implemented per OPNAVINST 4790.2 series. MTIP allows increased effectiveness in the application of training resources through identification of skills and knowledge deficiencies at the activity, work center, or individual technician level. Refresher training is concentrated where needed to improve identified skill and knowledge shortfalls. MTIP will be replaced by the Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System (AMTCS). Current planning is for AMTCS to begin initial implementation in third quarter FY00.
COMNAVAIRPAC has discontinued using MTIP. They are currently using maintenance data products as a source to determine maintenance training deficiencies until AMTCS is implemented.
b. Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System. AMTCS will provide career path training to the sailor or marine from their initial service entry to the end of their military career. AMTCS is planned to be an integrated system that will satisfy the training and administrative requirements of both the individual and the organization. The benefits will be manifested in the increased effectiveness of the technicians and the increased efficiencies of the management of the training business process. By capitalizing on technological advances and integrating systems and processes where appropriate, the right amount of training can be provided at the right time, thus meeting the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) mandated 'just-in-time' training approach.

Opnavinst 4790.2 Series Instructions

Technology investments enable the development of several state-of-the-art training and administrative tools: Computer-Based Training (CBT) for the technicians in the Fleet in the form of Interactive Courseware (ICW) with Computer Managed Instruction (CMI) and Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) for the schoolhouse.
Included in the AMTCS development effort is the Aviation Maintenance Training Continuum System - Software Module (ASM) which provides testing [Test and Evaluation (TEV)], recording [Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ)], and a Feedback system. The core functionality of these AMTCS tools are based and designed around the actual maintenance-related tasks the technicians perform, and the tasks are stored and maintained in a Master Task List (MTL) data bank. These tools are procured and fielded with appropriate COTS hardware and software, i.e. Fleet Training Devices (FTD) - Laptops, PCs, Electronic Classrooms (ECR), Learning Resource Centers (LRC), operating software, and network software and hardware.
Upon receipt of direction from OPNAV (N889H), AMTCS is to be implemented and the new tools integrated into the daily training environment of all participating aviation activities and supporting elements. AMTCS will serve as the standard training system for aviation maintenance training within the Navy and Marine Corps, and is planned to supersede the existing MTIP and Maintenance Training Management and Evaluation Program (MATMEP) programs.
2.Personnel Qualification Standards. Personnel involved with the maintenance of AWSE whose duties involve handling explosive ordnance must be trained, qualified and certified to perform these actions in accordance with the requirements of OPNAVINST 8023.2B and applicable type commander instructions.

1. Maintenance Management. Maintenance management is comprised of the management of personnel, aircraft, SE and material. The Maintenance Data System (MDS) can assist in all of these functions.
a. Organization. References:
COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2Naval Aviation Maintenance Program, Volume II, Chapter 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10, Volume III, Chapter 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 16
(1) The overall objective of the activity's maintenance effort is to ensure availability of aircraft required to meet operational commitments. The Aviation Maintenance Manager is responsible for managing the total maintenance effort to attain this goal. The maintenance department organization has been developed to assist the Aviation Maintenance Manager in meeting this objective.
(2) Maintenance Administration. Maintenance Administration provides the personnel accounting, record keeping, and the clerical duties associated with administrative support.
(3) Quality Assurance/Analysis. Quality Assurance/Analysis provides the maintenance department with inspection techniques and monitoring procedures to assure quality control as described in Section IV of this guide.

Opnavinst 4790.2 Chapter 10

(4) Maintenance/Material Control. Maintenance/Material Control has the responsibility for coordinating the repair of discrepancies; inspection, servicing, launch/recovery of aircraft; and scheduled/unscheduled maintenance of Aviation Life Support Systems and SE. To coordinate these efforts, maintenance control functions as a centralized control point. Maintenance Control is equipped with the appropriate display boards, record forms, and communication systems, etc. to expeditiously manage and direct the maintenance effort.
(5) Maintenance Divisions. The three maintenance divisions under the Maintenance Material Control Officer (MMCO) perform the bulk of the maintenance effort. These divisions are the Aircraft division, the Avionics/Armament division and the Line division. The composition of these divisions and their functions are outlined in the NAMP Manual (Volume II, Chapter 2). Detailed responsibilities and qualifications of selected personnel are also described in the NAMP Manual.

c. Command Relationships. Reference:
COMNAVAIRFORISNT 4790.2Naval Aviation Maintenance Program, Volume I, Chapter 4 Volume III, Chapters 3 and 4
(1) Command Relationship. Command Relationship is divided into two areas: custodial responsibility (for aircraft) and maintenance/logistics responsibility.
(2) Custodial Responsibility. Chain of Command for Custodial Responsibility: Chief of Naval Operations, Aircraft Controlling Custodian, Reporting Custodian.
(3) Maintenance/Logistics Responsibility. Chain of Command for Maintenance/Logistics Responsibility: Chief of Naval Operations, Commander Naval Air Systems, Command/Naval Supply System Command, Type Commander, COMCARAIRWING (CVW) (when embarked), Type Wing (when ashore), Squadron/Unit.
d. Management Responsibilities.
(1) Manpower Management. The Aviation Maintenance Manager is responsible for selection, training, utilization and evaluation of assigned personnel. The Aviation Maintenance Manager must constantly be aware of any factor adversely affecting these areas.
(2) Financial Management. Flight Operations OPTAR (OFC-01) and Aviation Fleet Maintenance OPTAR (OFC-50). References:

NAVSO Publication 3006Financial Management of Resources Operations and Maintenance (for Shore Activities)
NAVSO Publication 3013-1Financial Management of Resources Fund Administration (Operating Forces)
(a) Flight Operations (OFC-01) funds are those required by the squadron to perform its mission. Items included in this category are fuel; lube oil and fuel additives, pilot/crew flight clothing and operational equipment, administrative services, liquid and breathing oxygen, nitrogen, forms and publications, audiovisual costs, and flight deck clothing. Aviation Operation Maintenance (OFC-50) funds are used in maintenance of aircraft, associated ground support equipment, fuel consumed in associated ground support equipment and consumable hand tools.
(3) Financial Management. Funding of Aviation Depot Level (AVDLR) Repairables:
(a) Commencing 1 April 1985, repairables that were 'free' in the past are paid for by the user. From a fleet perspective, there are two major changes associated with the AVDLR program. The first was establishment of a full carcass-tracking program between the Aviation Supply Office (ASO) and the user. The second major change was the user pays Aviation Operations Maintenance (AOM) dollars for the AVDLRs, and these charges will be reflected in the Flying Hour Cost Report. Maintenance Managers must be as concerned with AOM costs as the squadron is with fuel costs.
(4) Operational Management. Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) Program: NATOPS prescribes the checklists to be used for Functional Check Flights and presents a detailed description of aircraft systems, performance data and operating procedures for safe and effective operation of the aircraft. The NATOPS manuals are not maintenance publications, but knowledge of their contents is helpful in explaining system procedures to maintenance and/or flight crews.
e. Maintenance Programs.
(1) Monthly Maintenance Plan. Reference:
COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2Naval Aviation Maintenance Program, Volume II, Chapter 6, and Volume III, Chapter 8
(a) The Monthly Maintenance Plan is used to identify the projected maintenance workload such as inspections, receipts/transfers, technical directive compliance, etc. The Monthly Maintenance Plan provides requirement data for aircraft maintenance, SE material, manpower and training. The Monthly Maintenance Plan is under the cognizance of the MO. Although the format and arrangement are the prerogative of the MO, the plan will contain the following minimum information:
(b) Projected known operational commitments, including number of flights, flight hours and aircraft utilization goals.
(c) Dates of scheduled inspections.
(d) Date of receipt or transfer of aircraft.

(a) Standard Depot Level Maintenance (SDLM) restores an aircraft to a condition, which can be maintained at the organizational maintenance level. SDLM consists of a thorough inspection of aircraft structures, systems and components, with depot level repair, preventive maintenance and modification, as necessary. Individual aircraft model SDLM specifications can be obtained from the Cognizant Field Activity (CFA). Aircraft going to SDLM require a 'Special Work Request' to be submitted 30 days prior to the scheduled induction date, if additional maintenance other than that specified in the SDLM specification is desired. The Special Work Request is defined in COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2, Volume II, Chapter 6.

(1) The Maintenance Data System (MDS) provides readiness tracking of a historical nature. To provide near real-time data, squadrons are required to submit an Aircraft Material Readiness Report.
h. Aviation Maintenance/Supply Readiness Report (AMSRR) Difficulties.
(1) AMSRR has been directed to be utilized by Commander, Naval Air Forces and Commandant of the Marine Corps, Aviation Logistics Support as one site to view the status of all aviation assets. The AMSRR requires manual input and only reflects information at one time. There is no manual, follow on training, or available schools for instructions. 1st MAW currently utilizes an automated report that is updated every 30 minutes.
(2) AMSRR has been utilized by Naval squadrons, both active and reserve for several years. Fourth MAW has utilized for more than one year. It provides a “snap-shot” of once a day information, prior to 0800.
(3) MALS must manually download a NMCS/PMCS report from NALCOMIS and manually upload to the AMSRR website.
(4) OMA Squadrons will then verify supply information and manually input aircraft status changes, last fly date, flight time information, time until next inspection, notes as to aircraft degradation, etc. Several Squadrons have commented that this process takes several hours (i.e., 3-5).
(5) First MAW currently utilizes an in-house Automated Aircraft Material Readiness Report (AAMRR) that receives data from the units NALCOMIS server. This information is received every 30 minutes from the OMA’s and gives a basic real time status of their aircraft. OMA Squadrons add amplifying remarks which take approximately 15-30 minutes. In addition to aircraft status it also provides aircraft location.
