The F15 Program Gains The Visibility It Needs To Accelerate Modernization
How paper can slow down one of the world's fastest jets
The F-15 aircraft modification process involves multiple organizations and locations, making it difficult to track, manage, and have confidence that the information presented is relevant.
The Entire Air Force utilizes a common 1067 form to track and approve modification requests as they involve multiple organizations located around the globe. Today a 1067 is filled out by a user and sent through multiple levels of command for validation before it is routed to the correct program office, such as the F15.
The F15 office then validates and evaluates the modification before sending it back to the lead command for approval. Once submitted the original requestor loses visibility to the request, once each approval level validates the request they also lose visibility into the request. Completed modification requests are only stored at the program office and related documents to pricing and timeline are typically not kept with the completed form, as the completed forms sit waiting for funding they become less relevant and may need to be re-evaluated.
A modern solution, fit for a modern machine
Vana’s vKesi™ F-15 1067 process reduces the need for high value manpower to focus on administrative tasks to initiate a proposed aircraft modification request to the F-15 MAJCOM. The 1067 process is used throughout the Air Force to guide requirements on how a user of a fielded system can request needed innovations and modifications.
With the vKesi™ 1067 process the users involved can now quickly participate in the guided process and get timely visibility, resulting in implementation of actions to field capabilities. The vKesi™ 1067 process provides a collaborative digital forum for the F-15 team that stores the information and artifacts needed to justify the modification.
The result is an efficient and timely technical and cost evaluation process for the F-15 MAJCOM review board to validate and approve the proposed F-15 modification request. Additionally, our framework allows for rapid implementation and guidance for comprehensive knowledge management environment for the 1067 process. The F-15 vKesi™ 1067 process is now being deployed to all F-15 end users.
About the Air Force F15 program
The F15 Program Office is responsible for the development, production, fielding, sustainment of the F15 Fighters. Part of the program files office responsibility is to track and implement modifications to the F15. Modification are alterations that, at a minimum, change the form, fit, function, or interface. Modifications may be installed as permanent or temporary alterations needed on new or fielded fighters.
These modifications will come into the program office from field organizations that need to know if the modification is possible, how long it would take to implement, and the cost of the modifications. Once the program office evaluates the modification the command organization will need to decide if the modification is still needed.
